This was recommended as a free book from “NYT Best Selling Author” (or something like that). An assured voice, and listed as Contemporary Fiction.
Satire. Surely satire.
Standing here alone—again—I’m reminded of a Karl Marx quote I learned in college: “History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.” Page 192.
Satire and farce. Poignant note, bundled near the end.
Very good book, enjoyable, fun, rollicking along.
Rather current on events, too.

It’s about bad luck, and how to be lucky. Reviewing the principles as stated? The little four-point list at the top of the article?
Made me think about a series of events, over years, wherein I had opportunities to make good decisions and bad choices — it’s how I landed exactly where I am today.
It’s about a series of events, and how to approach those events. Bad luck? Silver lining? Obstacles that hold promise?
“The obstacle is the way.”
Even I don’t always believe that.
However?
It’s a curious way to look at luck, I suppose.
Oakland A’s Reyn Spooner
Reyn Spooner shirts are now a favorite with me. Something about the cloth? Something about the design? Something, and this I know, about having them in most MLB teams, sure, that’s fun.
Even better, though, and looking at luck?
The Oakland A’s. Soon to be the Las Vegas A’s, I suppose. Or the Tropicana A’s, more likely.

Just a few pointers to previous?

Today in San Antonio — by the forum — with some answers to questions….
Sunday! In San Antonio!
• Partial Eclipse 9/18 at 27° Virgo/Pisces
• Partial Eclipse 10/2 at 9° Libra
Curious as to the astrological details?
There are two sources of data, seeing me in San Antonio this Sunday — or the weekly horoscopes.
Previous notation 1/11/2001. Looks like a September, 1999 original imprint, and I must’ve had in my hand, at one time the hardback.
I rescued the reading copy out of the “to be surrendered” stack of books, books that either find new homes at a used book store or library sales via donation. Either way, trim the shelves a little.
I wanted a “disposable” text for the long flights out, and the possible downtime in Baltimore. Given the current conditions of air travel? Given planetary positions and motions? Expectations were quite low. Carry a book to read.
Here’s the problem, I read this book, at least once, within (days weeks months) of publication. I didn’t recall particular plot elements, but as a whole? I still giggled at some of the jokes, and marveled at the turn of a phrase.
Fun to reread, and apparently, I didn’t recall the conclusion, and the ultimate unraveling.
Of course, it is fiction by newspaper writer, it is fiction, isn’t it?
Perfect airplane reading.
Given our current political climate? Still satirically poignant.
Still working with Retrograde Mercury rites and rituals.
