Salty Piece of Land Library Book Discussion

[Tiki Bar]

Was checking a couple things out at my local library, and was quite surprised to see a whole row of "A Salty Piece of Land" books behind the check out counter. It's the adult book discussion for the month. Maybe I should attend and look for Mr Right!

Second Saturday Readers’ Book Discussion

Saturday, April 10 at 10:00 a.m.
A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett

Tully Mars finds himself regretting a decision to help find the missing lens belonging to the Cayo Loco lighthouse, in a tequila-inspired adventure featuring such characters as Indian shaman Ix-Nay and boatman Captain Kirk.


Jimmy or not, I can't even imagine going to a library book discussion, but I was tickled by the notion.

Why not go? Sounds like it could be fun.

[MacPhin]

It's too far for me to go to attend — unless BN would authorize me an expense account (yeah, like that's gonna happen!) — but it might be interesting to hear how the discussion went from a Parrothead's perspective. Any takers in the Chicago area?

I agree with the others....you should go

[Staredge]

When does Tully regret his decision to help?????

[SMLCHNG]

You should go, JoAnn!!!

I'm probably close enough to represent, but like you Tiki Bar, not somewhere I could imagine myself.

[conched]

JoAnn, that would be fun...even if it is a change for ya.

ejr, Ellen, may want to go too! Wouldn't that be fun.

[pema]

I think it would be fun, but not sure I'd go either.

well, it would be an interesting way to spend part of my "one year since the accident" day!

You should go and discuss how the philosophy of the book extends into the music. Or how the philosophy of the music extends into the book.

What someone said earlier, when does Tully regret helping Cleopatra find the lense for the light? I think he was greatful that she saved his butt from being arrested, and he was quite happy to help her out.

As much as I love A Salty Piece of Land I don't know if I would want to spend a Saturday in the library participating in a discussion group.

[HurricaneSeason]

At least they spelled Buffett correctly.
