Oddly enough, the world seems closer to ending than when John Hodgman jokingly mused about it a few years ago.

That being said, you can still enjoy his writings with his latest book Vacationland that’s decidedly less apocalyptic. It follows Hodgman through a layered journey to the “most painful beaches” of Maine. 

The juxtaposition of ‘painful’ and ‘beaches’ alone has us on board. 

Vacationland is available for pre-order now for a release on October 24th. Hopefully, Ragnarok doesn’t become real in that time.
