A Pirate Looks at Fifty by Jimmy Buffett. 

4/5 rating.

Book #107 of 2019. Read September 9, 2019. 

This is Jimmy’s memoir about his travels to mark his 50th birthday. While I didn’t really expect too much from this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. His writing really appeals to a young guy with wanderlust as bad as I’ve got. It also seems fitting to finish this just in time for another 4,000 mile trip coming up over the next 3 weeks!

Quotes:

“That to me is the way any good romantic would look at his life: Live it first, then write it down before you go.”

“Q. What are you going to do with your life?

1. Live a pretty interesting one.”

“It takes no more time to be a nice guy than it does to be an asshole.”

“Politicians can make all the speeches they want and governments can do all the public-service ads money can buy, but in the islands the reality is this: If you want people to stop selling dope, they have to be able to make a living doing something else.”
