I found out about The Fortune Cookie Chronicles from it being reference in another book I’d read for the 50/50 project. Written by Jennifer 8. Lee—that’s no typo; her middle name is 8 (a number in Chinese that symbolizes prosperity and good luck)—this book chronicles the history of Chinese food in the United States. I learned last week that this book is a finalist for my university’s 2013 summer reading project.And for good reason. It’s a fun read about a topic that most of us have had experience with over the course of our lives. I’ve recommended it to my parents—diners at many Chinese restaurants around the world—and to all of you. As a cookie’s fortune might read: A pleasant surprise is in store for you.
