    Best Beach Book Ever!

    I picked up a copy of this book at Kohl's department store when it was first published in 2001. Since then, I've read and re-read this book many time. It's a staple in my beach chair pocket. I pull it out at the beach and fill my mind with interesting thoughts. I have also purchased several copies for friends. Not all quotes apply to everyone but you can highlight the ones that will help guide your way.
