On Saturday I rode my bike out to the Far Rockaways and roasted on the beach for a few hours and capped it off with a whole mess of seafood (we took the train back home). Thankfully, we didn't have to deal with any corpses on the beach, but being the Rockaways, there was plenty of detritus... I'm not quite suffering from heat exhaustion (probably something closer to beach lethargy), but I'm working on snapping out of it...
While we were away The Christian Science Monitor heartily recommended THE WEEK-END BOOK.
“It's impossible to do justice to so charming a compendium of miscellany in such short space.”
“It's a disarming, somewhat anachronistic, and utterly quirky cross between the Farmers' Almanac and a countryside Baedeker's.”
“It's worth owning if only for the way it will look on a bookshelf (or in a tote bag): the cover with its vintage feel, endpapers that include a chessboard, and whimsical line drawings throughout.”
Grade: A
