I just got back from the beach and I am SO relaxed that I don't even really mind that I'm still in the office at close to 7pm. I had an amazing time; my first visit out to Fire Island, and I am hooked. I never really thought of myself as a beach person before, but after a trip to Kiawah earlier this summer and then this jewel of a long weekend, I'm beginning to revise that opinion. As planned, I began listening to Brad Meltzer's BOOK OF LIES while I was out there, and I have to say how impressed I am with both the writing of the opening scene and the production--really beautiful swelling music and, of course, expert narration by Scott Brick. I didn't get enough alone-time with the audiobook because I was so surrounded by friends at almost every turn, but the few minutes I stole away to listen were totally worth it. Now in my memory that haunting first scene will always appear in tandem with darkening crashing waves and a gorgeous empty beach.
There's a new trailer for the book which I'll post as soon as I figure out where it's hosted on our servers. It stars Joss Whedon, Damon Lindelof, Christopher Hitchens, Brian K. Vaughn, and A.J. Jacobs.
