Last-Chance Beach Reads Have you been making headway on your
summer reading list? Paul has and he’s thrilled to recommend the adorable
coming-of-age memoir by Mad Men’s Bryan Batt: “She Ain’t Heavy, She’s My
Mother,” Bill Clegg’s chilling story of his own $40,000 crack
binge: “Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man,” and “The Bucolic Plague”—Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s story of how he and his partner Brent
(pardon me, Dr. Brent of Martha Stewart fame) went from city boys to gentleman
farmers (and ultimately ended up with their own reality show—“The Fabulous
Beekman Boys” airing on the Planet Green network).
