So my husband and I go to this neat movie theater near our house on a pretty regular basis (The Strand, in Clinton, MA), where they have a restaurant and serve beer and wine to go with second run movies. Since we are arm-chair theater owners (it's my husband's career-if-I-won-the-lottery choice), we spend the time waiting for our food discussing how we would run the place. One of our genius ideas(if I do say so myself) is that they should have food specials to go with the movie. Some of these are easy - a crockpot of boeuf bourgiugnon to go with Julie and Julia - some require a little more thought: goat cheese pizza or maybe hummus and pita chips for The Men Who Stare at Goats, airline peanuts for Up in the Air (and, of course, passing out random "Executive Club" cards that would enable you to jump the beer line). Anyway, I was thinking about this last night and I started doing it for books too. Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanesi is clearly bellinis and samosas or daal; The Financial Lives of the Poets would be pizza and coffee. I think Lark and Termite will definitely involve cake and maybe Korean food. This is my new party game...
