OUR PICKS FOR WHAT TO SEE AND DO THIS WEEK

The always provocative Lionel Shriver (“We Need to Talk About Kevin”) returns with “Should We
5 Stay or Should We Go” (Harper, $26.99). It’s about a couple, both medical professionals, who make a pact to end their lives at 80 to avoid the cruelty of old age. Then they turn 80 and have second thoughts.

2. Concert
Not that anyone is asking for it, but L.A.’s Dirty Honey is trying to revive the hard-rock swagger of Guns N’ Roses on songs like “When I’m Gone” and “California Dreamin.’ ” The band is opening for the Black Crowes on its summer “Shake Your Money Maker” tour.
