Sharks…and a shortage of puns.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I love short stories in the summer. Maybe it’s my lack of attention span when the weather is so lovely. When you’re inside you’re itching to be out. When you’re outside (maybe reading in the park) there are bikes, dogs, sword fights, and beachy boys to distract you. What’s a girl to do?

The Man Who Scared A Shark To Death and Other True Tales of Drunken Debauchery by Noel Boivin and Christopher Lombardo has flown into my radar today. This quick description sure does intrigue:

“Next time you find yourself hunched over the kitchen table, head in hands, giant thermos of coffee in front of you, throbbing with remorse, this would be the book to have nearby. In it are all kinds of people who are more stupid and ashamed than you.” (North Shore News, December 17, 2006)

It’s still summer - War and Peace can wait.
