LAX to JFK and Back: Enough Reading for the Round Trip

By Frederic Weekes

The first part of this book is devoted to the Chronicles of Nick, describing the adventures of this man between the ages of twenty-two and forty-five as he makes his way through the thicket of selecting a mate. One group of readers might conclude that on the road to marriage he displays his lack of integrity, honor, sensitivity, thoughtfulness, maturity, eloquence and substance. Another group of readers, however, could determine that Nick is armed with an extra dollop of sensitivity that makes him aware of his strengths and weaknesses. He spends a long time solving the mysteries of women. He finds commitment difficult because the selection is nearly infinite. At last he finds a woman in the same situation he finds himself in and determines that the time has come to end the chase. The Chronicles of Nick are followed by several short pieces, then it's on to the story of Stephanie, a young woman who ends up marrying an older man, Larry Allen. The stories are meant to be entertaining. While there are occasional insights into the human condition, the author does not allow seriousness to get out of hand.
