...plentiful, he opened O2, an oxygen bar, which offers patrons a mouthful of oxygen-enriched air for $13 a hit (laced with lemon or lime, it costs an extra $2). Brilliant as it is, it's not as good an idea as the SunSpot, a round towel on which beach goers could rotate themselves to remain in the sun's direct light throughout the course of the day. Sadly, the towels never caught on, nor did the all-hemp suit Harrelson had designer Giorgio Armani create for the 1997 Oscars. Undeterred, Harrelson unveiled the Headwaters Hiker earlier this year...

A wise suggestion, however, is that each story be read slowly and individually, and not the book as a whole on a beach in the summer or in front of the fireplace on a cold Sunday night. The stories, as mentioned before, tend to start sounding the same when read quickly in order, and they deserve better than that.
