I recently finished reading A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett. It’s appeal is no doubt primarily to Parrotheads, his legions of devoted fans of his music. His books are typically as escapist as most of his songs, with a smattering of laid back philosophy thrown in for good measure.

I did enjoy this book, but it meanders quite a bit. His characters float in and out of each other’s lives and he ties things up neatly at the end. But I think he did that better in his Tales from Margaritaville.
