false <![CDATA[A Salty Piece of Land]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172602558m/196766.jpg 196766 10 If Tully Mars had known what he was getting himself into when he agreed to help find the lost lens belonging to the lighthouse on Cayo Loco-well, he might never have agreed to help in the first place. Then again, maybe he simply would have taken a slightly longer nap before setting off on his wild adventure. And it isn't just Tully-whom Buffett fans will remember well from Jimmy's bestselling Tales from Margaritaville-on the madcap quest. There's Ix-Nay, an Indian shaman with a dislike of the media; Mr. Twain, Tully's loyal steed; Cleopatra Highbourne, the 102-year-old owner of Cayo Loco and Cuban baseball addict; Captain Kirk, fishing trip leader and boatman extraordinaire; former country music star Sean Spurl, aka Tex Sex; Bucky Norman, a Wyoming cowboy who has found his way to the ocean; and even a fellow named Jimmy Buffett, who decides he might as well join in on the party. Raucous, wise, and familiar with the world's wonderful strangeness, A SALTY PIECE OF LAND is the perfect summertime confection. 2943315 2004 A Salty Piece of Land total:1048|5:194|4:346|3:325|2:127|1:56| 1048 3639 1373 238 0 1 true false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Jun 02 15:57:04 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 02 15:57:04 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue May 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 03:00:47 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 03:02:36 -0700 2008 Jimmy Buffett is quite the storyteller.
