Cucumbers or books or something
A mandolin slicer* makes eating cucumber WAY more awesome than just cramming cucumbers into your mouth. It also lets you make perfect slices of tomato or onion for sandwiches. Probably my favorite kitchen purchase I've made, not counting the pepper grinder I filled with cumin.
Books are pretty great, and are often written by amazing authors, but something you have to remember is that the people who write the BACKS of books have that job because they are NOT amazing authors. If they were they'd be writing the front top part and most of the middle sections of books, not the backs! In my experience book backs are inaccurate, mildly spoiling, and convey very little about how much I might actually enjoy a book. My strategy is to read the first x pages (where x is however many I feel like) to see if I like the book. If I start stumbling into bookshelves at the bookstore that's usually a good sign.
