October 2018 and in that life, Joe's first wife Franny had killed herself by throwing herself off the Poe Building 15 years prior. Now when Ann Voss Peters recounts her life as Ann Behrman to Barry on Nov 2nd, 2018, she says she gained her memories of that life a month prior, i.e. He has two different recollections of his past few days leading up until a few minutes prior to arrival of the alternate memories and he fears he has FMS. He knows he's being tailed by someone who is later revealed to be Vince, just as another set of memories rolls in, in which he never encounters Ann Voss Peters on the roof of the Poe Building, then looks up the police report of the attempted suicide of Franny Behrman or travels to meet Joe and Franny in Montauk and he's at his apartment in Washington Heights where he's watching a Knicks game instead of eating at a diner in Montauk. He's just met with the Behrmans who had turned him away and he's halfway through eating huevos rancheros in a diner in Montauk before boarding a train back to the city.

Baby boomer aversion to social media? Get over it! Why not? Privacy fears? Goodreads is owned by Amazon, but they already have all your data, including what’s shipped, next-day, to your doorstep. Yet they don’t use the best website and app for enhancing and amplifying those same conversations.

It made me wonder why, among my many book-loving friends, fewer than half use Goodreads? Those same people often ask "what great book have you read lately?" or they'll gush about what they’ve recently been engrossed by. This morning I received a "thank you" note from a book-reading friend who rediscovered Goodreads based on my invitation.
