“Buy Ketchup in May and Fly at Noon — a Guide to the Best Time to Buy This, Do That and Go There”
by Mark Di Vincenzo ( Harper, 172 pages, $13.99).
This book offers advice on the best times to partake in various endeavors. For example, the author claims that the best time to fill up your gas tank is on Wednesday mornings. The best month to buy a camera? February. The best month to buy tools? June. The best time to brush your teeth? About an hour after you eat. I wonder when he thinks people should read his book? No better time than the present, right?
