so, you’re hyperfixated on Anthony Bourdain?

there’s a starter pack for that! here it is! i made it! i can use this interest for good! tried to include a solid variety of the books he wrote/co-wrote, + an oral biography about him and a memoir by someone else about working on one of his shows. didn’t include sequels (such as Gone Bamboo), didn’t include collections of previously published work (such as The Anthony Bourdain Reader and The Nasty Bits). happy reading!

pancit i would be SO excited if i got to make this into a quest and add a few more books to it, that’d be amazing. it’d even be super timely, with the biopic releasing this month!! been thinking of badge design ideas for this list ever since i mentioned it in that club post about dream quests
