friday finds

Here is Part II of my Spring Friday Finds! (see here for Part I) March So Much For That by Lionel Shriver Shep Knacker has long saved for “The Afterlife”: an idyllic retirement on a tropical island in the Third World where his nest egg can last forever. Traffic jams on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway will be replaced with “talking, thinking, seeing, and being”—and enough sleep.

This is the first time I’ve participated in the Friday Finds meme.  There’s been a distinct lack of posts around here since the start of the new year because I still have my nose stuck in Shogun. (I’m thisclose to finishing! Maybe this weekend)  Then my reading rate will return to normal. So anyway, I look forward every quarter to seeing USA Today’s Book Calendar.
