Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.

Now, that is a title which might grab your attention, while you are wondering around the popular-corner-book-shelf, with the other three books you are about to buy (a selection on best American Short Stories, the most talked about novel and a self help book, tightly clenched to your chest so nobody sees the heading). You will judge this one by its cover and contemplate whether you have enough hands for the forth companion. Maybe you will even get it.

Or Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M. by Sam Wasson will be given to you by a dear friend. You will prolong and procrastinate reading it a couple of years. Although, it is about the actual filming of your very-most-favourite movie (and every body else's), there is always going to be another volume on your bedside table. Since childhood, you tend to believe that if you do not pick something up right away it is usually a drag once you do. Meaning, that if you glance at the book and your eye does not itch to stay up and read until your alarm goes off, it is not worth staying up for at all.

So, back to the bookstore. If you were looking for a beach read, and somehow one of your hands happened to be free, this one will do.
