Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Isidore is a 'crap artist', a collector of crackpot ideas and worthless objects. His beliefs make him a man apparently unsuited for real life and so his sister, an edgy and aggressive woman, and his brother-in-law, a crass and foul-mouthed businessman, feel compelled to rescue him from it. But, observed through Jack's murderously innocent gaze, Fay and Charley Hume are seen to be just as obsessed as Jack. Their obsessions may be a little more acceptable than Jack's but they are uglier. And, in the end and thanks to Jack's intervention, theirs lead to tragedy ...

Download or read book I Love Dick written by Chris Kraus and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A self-described failed filmmaker falls obsessively in love with her theorist-husband's colleague: a manifesto for a new kind of feminism and the power of first-person narration. In I Love Dick, published in 1997, Chris Kraus, author of Aliens & Anorexia, Torpor, and Video Green, boldly tore away the veil that separates fiction from reality and privacy from self-expression. It's no wonder that I Love Dick instantly elicited violent controversies and attracted a host of passionate admirers. The story is gripping enough: in 1994 a married, failed independent filmmaker, turning forty, falls in love with a well-known theorist and endeavors to seduce him with the help of her husband. But when the theorist refuses to answer her letters, the husband and wife continue the correspondence for each other instead, imagining the fling the wife wishes to have with Dick. What follows is a breathless pursuit that takes the woman across America and away from her husband and far beyond her original infatuation into a discovery of the transformative power of first person narrative. I Love Dick is a manifesto for a new kind of feminist who isn't afraid to burn through her own narcissism in order to assume responsibility for herself and for all the injustice in world and it's a book you won't put down until the author's final, heroic acts of self-revelation and transformation.

Download or read book Hard to Love written by Briallen Hopper and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sharp and entertaining essay collection about the importance of multiple forms of love and friendship in a world designed for couples, from a laser-precise new voice. Sometimes it seems like there are two American creeds, self-reliance and marriage, and neither of them is mine. I experience myself as someone formed and sustained by others' love and patience, by student loans and stipends, by the kindness of strangers. Briallen Hopper's Hard to Love honors the categories of loves and relationships beyond marriage, the ones that are often treated as invisible or seen as secondary--friendships, kinship with adult siblings, care teams that form in times of illness, or various alternative family formations. She also values difficult and amorphous loves like loving a challenging job or inanimate objects that can't love you back. She draws from personal experience, sharing stories about her loving but combative family, the fiercely independent Emerson scholar who pushed her away, and the friends who have become her invented or found family; pop culture touchstones like the Women's March, John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, and the timeless series Cheers; and the work of writers like Joan Didion, Gwendolyn Brooks, Flannery O'Connor, and Herman Melville (Moby-Dick like you've never seen it!). Hard to Love pays homage and attention to unlikely friends and lovers both real and fictional. It is a series of love letters to the meaningful, if underappreciated, forms of intimacy and community that are tricky, tangled, and tough, but ultimately sustaining.

Download or read book Confessions of a Horse Husband written by James Dick and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would marry a "Horse Lady," a beautiful but stubborn woman who lived, breathed and dreamed horses. But from the day I met her, I felt her impact on my life and it was profound. It convinced me first to spend considerable time at the barn, a place which I never even thought of previously. And it motivated me to want to learn how to care for and learn to love horses as well, since all " horse ladies" live by the motto: "Love me, love my horses." So, after nearly seventeen year of being a "Horse Husband", I decided it was time to document this lifestyle which has changed me so much. Who says old dogs can't learn new tricks?Confessions of a "Horse Husband" is a story of learning, making mistakes, paying for those mistakes with bruises and painful toes among other body parts, but also having fun, enjoying the fresh air and open space and experiencing love like I never knew before. It is my story in my own words about some of the most memorable moments in my life. Living with a "Horse Lady" is never dull, it's full of surprises and it covers many situations, many wonderful and some not so much. Many extremes are faced such as feeding horses on cold, frosty mornings as well as hot and humid oppressive Florida summers; from enjoying a trail ride with my wife and other equestrians to having a big toe crunched by a twelve hundred pound mare; or even waking up to find that over a dozen stalls must be stripped and re-bedded or even directing parking for participants at an equestrian event where the ground is a quagmire under a cold, pouring rain. And, of course, for laughs there's the story of the pony and goat getting loose in the feed room after devouring roses, or sitting up all night with a sick horse or a mare preparing to foal. The book includes beauty, pride, joy, love, humor, sadness and so much more.There's Hailey the "Boss Mare", who rules the herd completely. Then there's the old man, Gabe, a gelding in the twilight of his years yet still capable of causing a surprise when he wants. Or what about Flannel Jams, the retired track horse who has a wonderful disposition unless you come on to strong. And we can't leave out the ponies, like bulky and strong Charm, a beauty who loves to tease, just like her mother who gained the nickname, the "Pony of the Corn". And these are just a few of those wonderful animals that "The Horse Lady" and I have fed, watered and cared for as part of our family.But make no mistake, the real "Boss Mare" of our family herd is not a horse, but "The Horse Lady" jerself. Come take a ""look see" at our story, if you love horses it's a "no brainer". If you know nothing about horses you might learn something of interest and have some fun to boot. It's about living an active lifestyle and loving it. You can't sleep in on Saturday with horses but you find that you don't want to.Come join us and find out why this "Horse Husband", despite a few questioning moments, wouldn't change his lifestyle for anything.

Download or read book Confessions of a Video Vixen written by Karrine Steffans and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part tell-all, part cautionary tale, this emotionally charged memoir from a former video vixen nicknamed 'Superhead' goes beyond the glamour of celebrity to reveal the inner workings of the hip-hop dancer industry—from the physical and emotional abuse that's rampant in the industry, and which marked her own life—to the excessive use of drugs, sex and bling. Once the sought-after video girl, this sexy siren has helped multi-platinum artists, such as Jay-Z, R. Kelly and LL Cool J, sell millions of albums with her sensual dancing. In a word, Karrine was H-O-T. So hot that she made as much as $2500 a day in videos and was selected by well-known film director F. Gary Gray to co-star in his film, A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel. But the film and music video sets, swanky Hollywood and New York restaurants and trysts with the celebrities featured in the pages of People and In Touch magazines only touches the surface of Karrine Steffans' life. Her journey is filled with physical abuse, rape, drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness and single motherhood—all by the age of 26. By sharing her story, Steffans hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticised industry and help young women avoid the same pitfalls she encountered. If they're already in danger, she hopes to inspire them to find a way to dig themselves out of what she knows first-hand to be a cycle of hopelessness and despair.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors’ Choice: “A mind-bending romp through a gender-fluid, eighteenth century London . . . a joyous mash-up of literary genres shot through with queer theory and awash in sex, crime, and revolution.” NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker • HuffPost • Kirkus Reviews • Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award • Shortlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize • “A dazzling tale of queer romance and resistance.”—Time Jack Sheppard and Edgeworth Bess were the most notorious thieves, jailbreakers, and lovers of eighteenth-century London. Yet no one knows the true story; their confessions have never been found. Until now. Reeling from heartbreak, a scholar named Dr. Voth discovers a long-lost manuscript—a gender-defying exposé of Jack and Bess’s adventures. Is Confessions of the Fox an authentic autobiography or a hoax? As Dr. Voth is drawn deeper into Jack and Bess’s tale of underworld resistance and gender transformation, it becomes clear that their fates are intertwined—and only a miracle will save them all. Writing with the narrative mastery of Sarah Waters and the playful imagination of Nabokov, Jordy Rosenberg is an audacious storyteller of extraordinary talent. Praise for Confessions of the Fox “A cunning metafiction of vulpine versatility . . . an action-adventure tale with postmodern flourishes; an academic comedy spliced with period erotica; an intimate meditation on belonging.”—Katy Waldman, The New Yorker “Confessions of the Fox is so goddamned good. Reading it was like an out-of-body experience. I want to run through the streets screaming about it. It should be in the personal canon of every queer and non-cis person. Read it.”—Carmen Maria Machado, National Book Award finalist for Her Body and Other Parties “A hat tip to Moby-Dick . . . a running footnote hall of mirrors to rival Borges . . . one of the most trenchant calls for progressive action that I have read in a very long time.”—The New York Times Book Review “An ambitious work of metafiction, a sexy queer love story . . . a bold first novel.”—Entertainment Weekly

Download or read book Sissy Confessions Volume ONE written by Mike Watson and published by Mike Watson. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those confessions we all have, every sissy thinks – obsesses – takes it to bed with her – and more – thoughts that PLAGUE in a nice way – us all day long – thoughts we SO want to share with her, but sometimes can’t – and thoughts which ultimately shape what we DO! Why did I write this series? Certainly, with all the other writing I did along these lines, I dont have to! But as I look at my “wife” lying – fat thighs (so NICE, especially the rolls of fat, the lazier she is, the better, I’ve often said that, women should be entitled, bratty and LAZY, thats when they’re the most controlling, dominating, and ATTRACTIVE!!!!!!!!) – soles bobbing up and down, I can never get enough of serving her, and talking about COCK! And in general, while serving her, either sexually or otherwise talking about some of the things I talk about SO often here. Except, I dont talk about them ALL. Hehe. And I’m lucky in that I’m at least at this point where I can talk about SOME of it. Most men – their SO’s would throw a hissy and leave if they even MENTIONED any of their real desires, those dormant desires which I wrote about before – NEVER go away – and everyone has them, no matter how you try to deny them. But do you ACT upon those desires? We all have one life, my friend. And what use that life if not lived to the fullest? Will you really care what people think when you “pass” ? (i.e. if you did something that is SSC, really, really like, something you really, really WANT – nay- CRAVE) – who cares?) Most people “live lives of quiet desperation”, as the great Thoreau once said … And they rarely, if ever, bring out their innermost thoughts, dreams and desires, like I do – publicly! And I’ve never been happier. So will YOU, my friend, so will YOU – once you do what Colonel Trautman told Rambo in First Blood Part III i.e. “accept the inner you”. It’s YOU. And thats what matters! And this treatise, well, if you’ve been having thoughts of “oh, I should not be thinking that way”, or guilt trips etc as I once did about wanting so desperately to be a sissy – well, this treatise will BANISH all such thoughts instantly. Indeed, my writing is not just so erotic – not just so unique (nothing like our stuff out there!) – but most importantly, so REAL life, and NO or very little creative license, despite a life SO full most can’t believe it! – that you too will be inspired to take the sissy BULL by the horns – or penis – and just (beg to) DO! And that, probably more than anything is why I wrote this book! More benefits? Well, for you sissies and faggots (wanna be or not) reading this … What you think about – is indeed what you ATTRACT, except most people dont think about it the right way. And thats #1 right at the top – learn how to THINK the right way – this is something I teach in ALL my courses! If you’re thinking something – chances are excellent or second to none that if you do with deep EMOTION – it will happen! Learn just how in terms of BDSM, sissydom, and so forth You’ll learn after reading this book why HONEST and open is truly what women like – not so much “your preferences” as a sissy … Why NOT being able to control your ejaculation – or staying hard is not just a matter of PRIDE for sissies, but a level every sissy should aspire to ATTAIN to, or the other way around! Why cumming in one’s pants, often involuntarily, is the greatest HONOR any sissy could ever be afforded! And why even sissies that are GOOD in bed with their penis should try NOT TO BE – your TONGUE is what is needed! Why PENIS and penis love are often misunderstood, and why, as I stated so many times in my books, specially Cock Worship for Sissies and Faggots, and Penis Central, but one of them – loving PENIS is an absolute MUST – I repeat, absolute MUST – if you want to be a sissy at ANY decent level! Why you MUST aspire, as a sissy to get to the point where you think nothing but COCK – and feet – or feet – and COCK all day. And consequently, why you must aspire to hone your servitude skills better than anyone else out there – including the TIP of your tongue too if you get my drift! How – and why – and these tips will tell you – or these CONFESSIONS, you could call them tips as well! – to REWIRE your sexuality permanently so the above is ALL you think about – and attract (and trust me, just reading, do what I say, you’ll see) How to get more comfortable in your REAL skin as a sissy – like never before! The stunning similarity if done right between maledom – and femdom – and THIS alone is worth the price and ticket of admission for all reading this. What your TRUE first love – and “how it really happened” (and we all know, we’ve all had those experiences) teach you a LOT about who you TRULY are! (and your desires too). (but you’ll learn doublefold and more the real meaning of “true love”!). Why you must love his penis not just more than your own – thats a GIVEN – but why you must love his penis above ALL, why his PENIS should ultimately be the focal point you focus on, think of, everything, get to know his DONG better than your own FACE! – and why (and how) that will aid more than anything else in becoming the PERFECT SISSY! Even if you already love cock, learn how to fantasize about it to a point where that is ALL you think about, therefore, ATTRACT! Even if you aren’t really interested in being a sissy – a “dream sissy” – a perfect sissy – if youre just interested in tiltilating yourself without the visual porn, and REAL life “sissydom and fetish” – well, THIS book will do it! And much, much more. (by the way, Sissy Central (our most popular book) and Sissygasm Central are must reads along with THIS book!) For you DOMINANT ladies (or men) reading this … Here are some – I could write TOMES here too! Learn what your sissy REALLY wants deep down inside – chances are excellent and second to none and second to none just flew to Mars, not Venus, hehe – he (she) is NOT telling you! And even if she is, probably not all of it, probably not in graphic details, trust me, even me, at a certain point, I used to be so shy about all this! Learn how the MENTAL part of humiliation is really what gets sissies and yourself off, and how to take it to the DEEPEST levels possible via what is “explained” (and described) in these BASE, DEBASE, confessions! Learn why – well, two things – one LABELS (especially the “gay”, “straight” etc labels of so called sexuality which is VERY fluid and always shades of X and Y as I keep saying) are useless- and why these same labels when used right can take your submissive – and you – to levels of bliss youve never experienced before. Learn how you can EASILY get “straight men” to do things they would NEVER “dream of in their wildest dreams” (except they do. Hehe). Even if you arent that dominating – this book will MAKE you dominant, just by reading and understanding the utter lust behind some of the scenes, and the why’s and wherefore’s! Even if you weren’t interested in having a sissy before – you will now, and then some! Learn how to control your sissy with WORDS – this book perhaps explains the axiom of “it’s all about the mind” BETTER than anything else! And, its never about her body – or even his! Learn how external looks are basically always irrelevant – all my books teach you that – but this book teaches you more than anything else how sissies lust for COCK – and FOOT – all types, provided the MINDSET behind is devious, and uber dominant, and OPEN! (and “right” by extension!) . Learn how your having a cock – or even a foot – provided the mind is right – puts you ahead of the game automatically if you know how to USE it right! You’ll never feel so good about your body again, my friend, trust me! Learn how being slovenly is not just an excuse to be lazy – its a massive TURN on for your sissy! Learn the inner most secrets and how your sissy’s mind works, and how to use that to YOUR advantage. My significant other despite not being into BDSM has graduated from being a “simple small town girl” (like in Garima Madam … JI!) – to a “cuckoldress” and dominatrix (lifestyle) “el supreme”! Learn how body hair can be a HUGE turn on for sissies – FEMALES, you will LOVE THIS ONE, TRULY! Learn how to keep your sissy HORNY and on edge – read this with “15 ways to give him the ruined orgasm of his life … and have him SALIVATING for MORE!” … this alone is worth the price of admission. Perhaps the best part? Become the Queen – or King – you were always meant to be – in ALL areas of your life – not just sexual! The sheer CONFIDENCE you get from all this will be such a boost it will naturally permeate over into areas of your life you never thought before, like your work! And much, much more … And that, my friend is that. Yet another masterpiece (or mistress piece) from the Real Mc Coy of femdom and everything fetish related. And one you MUST have sitting on your mantelpiece, or hiding in the drawer, whichever the case might be. Here is but a SNEAK (just a peek, sissy! Hehe) PEEK at what you’ll GET – some of these writings will literally FORCE the dormant sissy out of you! Sissy Confessions, and one I’ll make to perfect Madam Megan tomorrow morning! Sissy Confession #2 – The almighty struggle NOT to cum in pant! Sissy Confession #3 – Dick and balls, my friend. Dick and balls! Sissy Confession #4 – First love, first COCK, first FOOT … Craven Depths of SUBMISSION – or perhaps sissy Confession #5 … Sissy Confessions #6– (Master Jerome’s) dangling dong! Sissy Confession #7 – More on feet – and COCK! Master’s long dong (schlong) – and I’m looking at it NOW – and Sissy confession #8! Sissy Confession #9 – I so love aggressive, dominant, BRATTY (naturally) Chinese women sTRIDING up to me, looking me in the EYE – and WHY! (not! Hehe) Sissy Confession #10 – When us submissive FREAKS call her Ma’am – and how she feels – and loves it – not – and yes! Sissy confession #11, Long thick DONGS, men shooting POWERFUL LONG LOADS – usually from thick STRAIGHT DONGS! Don’t cocks just have a way of making you forget ALL? (Sissy Confession #12, so NICE!) Sissy Confession #13 – Why sissy fags are often the best “born to suck” – at sucking – DONG! Sissy Confession #14 – The one “girlie” habit I never will/want to get rid of, and .. Sissy Confession #6!

PAYE LAGU, SIR, I’d kiss your feet – each toe 10 times, 100 times, all day, just to have your erect tubular LONG DONG in front of my NOSE – SO NICE! “His dick is really hard today!” (Sissy confession #20) Sissy Confession #21 – That was quite a load I pumped out last night!

Download or read book Final Confession written by Brian P. Wallace and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phil Cresta was no run-of-the-mill thief. Mastermind of the legendary Brink's armored truck robbery and a string of countless other high-stakes heists, he stole more than ten million dollars in escapades that often were breathtakingly daring and at times marvelously inventive. The robberies baffled both police and fellow outlaws for decades, and most of the crimes remain unsolved today. Now the open case files of these memorable thefts can be closed as Cresta himself provides the true story on how they were planned and carried out. Born in Boston's North End in 1928, Cresta was raised in an abusive household. He was sent to Concord Reformatory as a teenager, where he learned the craft of picking locks, a skill later honed during stays at the Charlestown and Walpole prisons in Massachusetts. Following the Brinks robbery in 1968, he was put on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List, but eluded the law for five years, living in Chicago under an assumed name. After serving time at Walpole for the Brinks job, Cresta died penniless in Chicago in 1995. Yet shortly before his death, he revealed the full extent of his astonishing capers to coauthor Bill Crowley, a retired Boston police detective. Drawing from their extensive conversations, this riveting page-turner chronicles how Cresta, along with partners "Angelo" and "Tony," pulled off robberies of jewelers, rare coin dealers, furriers, and armored trucks, detailing the meticulous planning that marked his criminal career. Cresta's final accounting is brimming with vivid tales of betrayal, murder, and intrigue as well as a colorful cast of characters, including mob bosses, wise guys, informants, paid "ears," corrupt judges, a Hollywood starlet, and even the Mayor of Chicago. Filled with drama, tension, and humor, this absorbing saga takes the reader inside the dangerous yet exhilarating world of a life dedicated to crime.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2006 Orange Prize for fiction, another bestselling masterwork from the celebrated author of Swing Time and White Teeth "In this sharp, engaging satire, beauty's only skin-deep, but funny cuts to the bone." —Kirkus Reviews Having hit bestseller lists from the New York Times to the San Francisco Chronicle, this wise, hilarious novel reminds us why Zadie Smith has rocketed to literary stardom. On Beauty is the story of an interracial family living in the university town of Wellington, Massachusetts, whose misadventures in the culture wars—on both sides of the Atlantic—serve to skewer everything from family life to political correctness to the combustive collision between the personal and the political. Full of dead-on wit and relentlessly funny, this tour de force confirms Zadie Smith's reputation as a major literary talent.
