Grass in my hardcovers

I held my first impromptu Summer Reading Club this weekend. I had a friend visiting and, with temperature hitting 90 on the streets, we decamped to Riverside Park with our books, snacks and a blanket. We saw Razor-riding girls, happy families, and a dog in a stroller. (No, I don't get it either.)

I brought a review book (Julie Salamon's HOSPITAL), which I think breaks the rules, but that's all right. My reading buddy finished Taylor Clark's STARBUCKED and started Michael Pollan's IN DEFENSE OF FOOD.
