Book excerpt: “A juicy tale of bad behavior.... Very Nice gets pretty mean—but gloriously so.” —Entertainment Weekly Rachel Klein never meant to kiss her creative writing professor, but with his long eyelashes, his silky hair, and the sad, beautiful life he laid bare on Twitter, she does, and the kiss is very nice. Zahid Azzam never planned to become a houseguest in his student’s sprawling Connecticut home, but with the sparkling swimming pool, the endless supply of Whole Foods strawberries, and Rachel’s beautiful mother, he does, and the home is very nice. Becca Klein never thought she’d have a love affair so soon after her divorce, but when her daughter’s professor walks into her home, bringing with him an apricot standard poodle named Princess, she does, and the affair is ... a very bad idea. Zigzagging between the rarefied circles of Manhattan investment banking, the achingly self-serious MFA programs of the Midwest, and the private bedrooms of Connecticut, Very Nice is an audacious, addictive, and wickedly smart take on the way we live now.

Download or read book The Red Car A Novel written by Marcy Dermansky and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sharp and fiery. . . . There is, now, a literary term for a book you can’t stop reading. . . . It is The Red Car.”—New York Times Book Review In her “dry, delightful fairy tale for grown-ups” (People), celebrated novelist Marcy Dermansky offers a biting exploration of a woman’s search for self-realization and models of a life well lived. When Leah’s former boss and mentor, Judy, dies in an accident and leaves Leah her most prized possession—a flashy red sports car—the shock forces Leah to reevaluate her whole life. Leah is living in Queens with a husband she doesn’t love and a list of unfulfilled ambitions. Returning to San Francisco to claim the mysteriously powerful car, she revisits past lives and loves in several sprawling days colored by sex and sorrow. Dermansky evokes an edgy, capricious, and beautifully haunting heroine—one whose search for realization is as wonderfully unpredictable and hypnotic as the twists and turns of the Pacific Coast Highway. Tautly wound, transgressive, and mordantly funny, The Red Car is an incisive exploration of one woman’s unusual route to self-discovery.

From infancy, to childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood and old age, struggles are everywhere throughout life. But it seems that struggle is growing in number and increasing in magnitude, a trend never seen before in history. We live in a world of wealth inequality, poverty, wide scale hunger, discrimination, exploitation, water shortages, pollution, drugs and addiction, global warming, obesity, wars, and so many other problems. What are we going to do? When will we change our situation? To solve the problems of today, we must focus on tomorrow. In order to change the world, change must first start from within ourselves. Change is a seed, nurtured through inspiration - inspiration in the examples of those who have succeeded before us. In the model businessman, the phenomenal philanthropists, the just military commanders, the influential political leaders, the beloved spouses, the nurturing parents, and the ultimate peacemakers. But are there actually figures from whom we can gain broad and deep inspiration to effectively bring about change? How many people have influenced their community, their country, their continent, and our world by simultaneously holding all of the roles mentioned? Is it even possible to find all of these positions held by a single person? What if I told you there was? What if you didn't have to look at thousands or hundreds or even ten figures to find all these traits? What if you could find all these qualities, what if you could find all this inspiration by looking at the life of just a single person? What if you could see, hear, understand, and carry out change from learning about a man who mastered all these roles plus more? What if I told you about The Greatest Man of All Time? He inspires over a billion people in the world today. In a time when ignorance, corruption, and violence were rampant in society, he guided people to knowledge, justice, and peace. In a time when his nation was divided, he brought an unparalleled level of unity within his state and across other nations. Although he acquired wealth and fortunes that go beyond the dreams of kings, he gave it all away in charity to the poor, hungry, and those in need...Does he inspire you?
Download or read book Buried Prey written by John Sandford and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford When a whole block is torn down in central Minneapolis to make way for a new housing development, an unpleasant surprise is unearthed - the bodies of two girls, wrapped in plastic, underneath an old house. It looks like they've been down there a long time. Lucas Davenport knows exactly how long. In 1985, Davenport was a young cop just about to be promoted out of uniform, despite a reputation for playing fast and loose with the rules. A superb undercover guy, he was part of the massive police effort that followed the kidnapping of two girls who were never found again, dead or alive. The searches turned up nothing, so when the suspected kidnapper was killed in a shoot-out, the case was closed. But not for Davenport. He'd gotten deep into the case, and while he was convinced the suspect knew something, he didn't think he was the perpetrator - something just felt off. He argued hard about it to his bosses, but nobody wanted to hear. Until now. With the bodies discovered, the case is dusted off, just to tie a bow around it - but there's something wrong with the evidence. There are indications of tampering. Police tampering. And as Davenport investigates, it becomes clear: it wasn't just the bodies that were buried, but the truth - and there are a lot of people with a very strong stake in that truth never being uncovered. ***READERS LOVE THE PREY SERIES*** 'The best Lucas Davenport story so far. The man has a fine touch for outlaws' Stephen King on Golden Prey 'Sandford’s trademark blend of rough humor and deadly action keeps the pages turning until the smile-inducing wrap-up, which reveals the fates of a number of his quirky, memorable characters' Publishers Weekly on Golden Prey 'It appears there is no limit to John Sandford’s ability to keep new breath and blood flowing into his Lucas Davenport series. This is a series you must be reading if you are not already' Bookreporter.com 'Sandford has always been at the top of any list of great mystery writers. His writing and the appeal of his lead character are as fresh as ever' The Huffington Post 'Sandford is consistently brilliant' Cleveland Plain Dealer

Book excerpt: When is enough, enough? For years, Marcy Sutton has struggled to overcome the grief of losing her fiancé to Stu Wright, a rival elf working under the rule of the Ancience’s cult. While she remains uncertain about moving forward to something new, she’s learned to avoid dwelling on the past. Thanks to Layla and the new recruits who seek out rogue elves, Marcy has come a long way in trusting others at the Academy and forging something like happiness at the greenhouse. But Stu isn’t just an elf gone bad… Now it’s up to her to help her colleague Wolf in stopping Stu’s nefarious plans. Time to finish it once and for all. Even though he’s expected to supervise the Menagerie at the start of the semester, Wolf Monroe isn’t ready to forgive and forget. Stu’s crimes are too many to dismiss: getting Wolf’s best friend killed, capturing rare animals, and scheming with evil elves hungry for power. The Ancience was all but torn down, yet Stu seems eager to rise up as the new leader of manipulative elves. Stopping Stu will protect many, but more so, it’s a chance for Wolf to finally seek revenge. Only, his tunnel vision for finding the man blinds Wolf to a trap. When Marcy—the one woman Wolf knows he can never have—is expected to rescue him, he’ll need to control his thirst for justice and hope they might be able to get along…
