If you were to walk down the beach with a pile of books to give people (this is a thing that Oprah did recently), what book would it be?
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.
Buffy ,'Potential'
Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The Goblin Emperor? I recommended it to a friend, describing it more like court intrigue in feudal Japan and not all fantasy and magic.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've never actually read that, Jessica, but I know a lot about it because I appeal(when I do) to people who have. Almost like we have a "You might also like..."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have an assumption that I would have to work hard to get past that everyone has read HHGttG. I was trying to think of what would be the right Pratchett to choose if I was gonna go that route and I think I'm gonna say Nation.

Oh, Hands of the Emperor would be good to hand out. And part of it takes place on a beach, so.

I'm waiting for my boss to get out of a meeting I'm not in so we can have our 1:1. We just had our (over long) Town Hall which are now, I guess, quarterly. It had applause points. When we were told to applaud. I do not like. I guess this is all part of the whole trying to reinvent ourselves as an actual 21st century agile corporation or whatever.

I assume people who have read it would be delighted to be randomly handed a copy while on the beach, so it's win-win.

Because books.
Sheryl, I hope you find something that works well, like...yesterday.
Wishing good sleep and energy to smonster!
I'm on my phone, which I hate, but for the book, I would say I The Book Thief. I hope that works(ed).

That is a good point, Jessica

Our wings are not tired.
I had a whole Meara but I lost it in the buffer.
I hate when that happens! Flirty packing does sound like the best kind of packing.
I just want to get around this corner.
It's been a long hard corner. May the days be few until you see things all fall into place.
Still adding to my book list. So many books. Honestly, that is one of the best things about my "retirement". More time for reading and listening to books. I always seem to have 3 going at once now. Alas, the one I am listening to for FL book club is a total snooze.
