]]> I have developed a liking in reading memoirs . . . Do yourself a favour and spoil yourself with My Big Fat Greek Taverna by Costa Ayiotis.

My favourite quote: And I remembered the words of the celebrated Italian film director Federico Fellini: “There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.” (page 297)

More about the book: In a moment of madness, Costa Ayiotis, a former United Nations diplomat, quits the Joburg rat race and opens a Greek taverna in Hout Bay. The local barflies and village idiots predict his demise in a notoriously fickle seasonal town. He is determined to prove them wrong. In this refreshingly hilarious rollercoaster of a ride, Costa’s fiery Greek temperament is tested by a constant stream of customers from all corners of the planet. A book for anyone who ever yearned to escape from it all.
