January-February meme?

[cahn]

So I am finally catching up with life again, and I thought that maybe I'd try that thing again where you guys tell me what to post about. Following thistleingrey's modification: Pick a week in January, or the first week in February since January is well on its way at this point, and give me a topic -- up to two per week. (If there are extras, I'll throw them into the rest of February.)

Week of Jan 11-17: Cordwainer Smith, fiction vs. real life
Week of Jan 18-24: Food I enjoy eating, ?
Week of Jan 25-31: Childhood books/reading, ?
Week of Feb 1-7: Business process rec/caution, ?
