Beach Reading: Fair warning that I'm headed to my own undisclosed location next Thursday, so you'll hear little from me for a few days after that. I'm bringing two books, both from the "Razor Recommends" book club. First, Flashman and the Mountain of Light, documenting our hero's travels in the Hindu Kush. I've actually started reading it already. It seems like a lark, but beware the footnotes. This fellow Fraser did his homework. Second, Chabon's Kavalier and Clay, based on my (tempered) admiration for the picaresque film adaptation of his Wonder Boys.
