A Taxonomy of Barnacles

Am reading the very quirky and entertaining A Taxonomy of Barnacles by Galt Niederhoffer. I like the charming way this author describes the life of a bunch of eccentric sisters and their dysfunctional family. And it's set in NYC!

There's a bit of Special Topics in Calamity Physics in it, but not as depressing an ending I hope. Nice to chance upon a good book! Bought it from the open air branch of The Strand bookstore outside Central Park in NYC for half its price. Admittedly, the first thing that attracted me was the cover with its vintage drawings. So pretty :)
