Cheese and Books

image from AirshipDaily

I love cheese and books, but I have fairly boring tastes. I've never heard of most of the cheeses listed in this article pairing authors with the appropriate ones. I'll have to check my crowded TBR shelf and see if any of these authors are hiding there. I'd have the perfect excuse for trying a new-to-me cheese.

Or maybe I could try a new author and a new cheese! This idea is getting better and better.

Oho! It looks like our local bookseller has The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz. According to the article's suggestion, that book would be paired with El Trigal Manchego. Sounds like fun.

  1. Strange pairing. I'm happy to report that I've tried Humboldt Fog cheese (since I'm in No. CA where it is produced) and read a few of J.C. Oates books. I am sure I didn't eat/read at the same time though.

    1. i was thinking, and i drink coffee or tea but don't tend to eat while i read. it never would've occurred to me to pair different kinds of food with different kinds of books.

  2. I avoid eating and drinking while reading books (have bad experience with Irish Cream & ebook-reader). I will eat while reading blogs, though. I think pretty much any choice of cheese works with Divers&Sundry!
