Me: Want to know what books I plan on reading in Punta Cana?
Erik: Wait, you’re taking more than one book? 

From top to bottom:

• The Mezzanine by Nicholson Baker
• That’s Not A Feeling by Dan Josefson
• Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
• Four New Messages by Joshua Cohen
• Another Bullshit Night in Suck City by Nick Flynn

Some vacationers are go-getters, and some are read-and-relaxers. We’re the latter, obvi.
