On we go! You just did this:

1. Found the (rather insane) book Learning from Las Vegas on my bookshelf.
2. Found the review I wrote on LibraryThing for this book; located the first and last words, which are “drop” and “city.”
3. Located the novel Drop City by T.C. Boyle in my library.
4. Found the instructions to DM a friend with the message “I found the book by TC Boyle.”
5. She messaged you a URL back to publish this post.

Clue #3

Look beneath where the thing that snores spends most of its time. This one is pretty easy.

For those of you following along at home or work or outer space, there might be a pause now while many levers are pulled behind the scenes.
