Not sure which is stranger: The fact that someone wrote this book or that I bought it


I have a strange obsession with one day retiring to an extremely remote island. I found this today while bookshopping (and getting #)*)%^*&#^ parking tickets).

It has interesting stories about each of the islands

2. That is definitely the kind of book I'd buy!
I'm sorry about the parking ticket. I think the parking gremlins hide behind trees and count down to the second.. Grrrr.

7. Really!
I was there a few years ago with Helvetica Tours flying out of Geneva with a short stop in Monaco! The beaches at lacuna are garamond.

It was existence light, so relaxing at all points!

10. Yep - that use to be the island I wanted to one day live...
until I read about how the island is filled with a bunch of sex pervs who start deflowing girls at age 13 (when there are only 37 people on the island it limits who will will have sex with). Now kinda looking at Norfolk Island, which is also in the book.

12. Did you think Lampedusa was a mythical monster first time you heard of it?
Down there somewhere near Lafcadio, I think.

Islands. They gots the strange names.
