Caption Contest - Book Review

Since I returned from my travels, there's been a dearth of comments. I miss interacting with readers. Or knowing I have readers... This picture is begging for a caption. If you want to go one step further, a brief book description would be great. Why? Because this was the image that accompanied a review in the New York Times Book Review recently. Did I want to read the book based on the review? Not really. Does the picture potentially persuade me otherwise? Absolutely!

Happy New Year, and I hope for comments soon.
