David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book. If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong. When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny--it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future. This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet--and it just might be his very best.Binding Type: Hardcover

The floating shelves are great
Size: 24"W, 2P, Color: White
I finally found a complete set of Japanese tea cups. I had bought 2 in Canada at Sypson and Sears. I had went to visit my family in British Columbia. But I couldn't find the rest of the set. I finally found the rest. My son-in-law installed the four shelves. They look nice and work great.

They're ok.
Size: 36"W, 2P, Color: White
The shelves are good but the wall brackets need more varied hole spacing, and the holes on the shelves for the bracket arms are loose so even screwed in they move a little bit.

Solid, easy to install floating shelves
Size: 20"W, 2P, Color: White
I really like the ease of installation of this set of floating shelves. The only requirement is that the bracket is mounted on the studs not just to drywall, or that appropriate drywall anchors are used. Once the brackets are secure, the shelves go in like a sleeve and you have yourself an awesome floating shelf. Good quality materials and fair value for the money. Great find for DIY.
