Download or read book Thoughts of an Ordinary Man written by Jack Gorman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of the thoughts of an ordinary man, any subject that comes to mind; and in no particular order. I cover all ideas, from conversations I have had, my reactions to newspapers and other media reports, and virtually everything that I have formed opinions on. With the accusations that Americans are always far left or far right, I wanted to give the opinions of an ordinary man. From this, you decide if an ordinary man leans hard left, hard right, more toward center or maybe is really schizophrenic. Each thought is kept as short as possible in presentation in an attempt to get right to the point and solicit expanded thought from the reader. I wrote this, not to be read as a novel, but to be read whenever there are five minutes available to ponder a new idea.

Maybe some of it will make you think, laugh, cry, or ring a bell with you. I just wanted to finally write down all the things I wanted to say. I wrote something over 30 years ago that my Mother found and gave to me, and through the encouragement of a total stranger she shared it with I started writing what you see here. I am not sure how you would classify this book, its many of my own thoughts with some of my life stories thrown in. I started with sharing some of my writings on my website, troygallegos.com, and after much encouragement I decided that I would put my complete thoughts down on paper and put them to print to share with everyone. I hope that its worth your time. Please visit troygallegos.com (no comma) for more info.

Download or read book The Life of an Ordinary Man written by Norman Ross and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I enjoy writing. I don’t possess an imagination that can make up fiction, so I only write about actual historical events particularly those that occurred during my life. As has been said, truth can be stranger than fiction. Necessarily, my writings include stories involving my forebears, but they predominantly document events that took place during my marriage with Alida. I was born and raised in Scotland, a country known for its excellent education system. I was able to read and write before my sixth birthday. As a boy, I read extensively, first comics then the classics. I say “comics” but the weekly publications (Rover, Wizard and others) consisted solely of adventure stories, words without any pictures. Boys would create pictures in their own minds to illustrate what they were reading. I hope that readers will be able to form word pictures in their imaginations when they read the stories in this book.

Download or read book The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man written by Paul Newman and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • The raw, candid, unvarnished memoir of an American icon. The greatest movie star of the past 75 years covers everything: his traumatic childhood, his career, his drinking, his thoughts on Marlon Brando, James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, John Huston, his greatest roles, acting, his intimate life with Joanne Woodward, his innermost fears and passions and joys. With thoughts/comments throughout from Joanne Woodward, George Roy Hill, Tom Cruise, Elia Kazan and many others. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: TIME and Vanity Fair "Newman at his best…with his self-aware persona, storied marriage and generous charitable activities…this rich book somehow imbues his characters’ pain and joy with fresh technicolor." —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. That same stipulation applied to Newman himself. The project lasted five years. The result is an extraordinary memoir, culled from thousands of pages of transcripts. The book is insightful, revealing, surprising. Newman’s voice is powerful, sometimes funny, sometimes painful, always meeting that high standard of searing honesty. The additional voices—from childhood friends and Navy buddies, from family members and film and theater collaborators such as Tom Cruise, George Roy Hill, Martin Ritt, and John Huston—that run throughout add richness and color and context to the story Newman is telling. Newman’s often traumatic childhood is brilliantly detailed. He talks about his teenage insecurities, his early failures with women, his rise to stardom, his early rivals (Marlon Brando and James Dean), his first marriage, his drinking, his philanthropy, the death of his son Scott, his strong desire for his daughters to know and understand the truth about their father. Perhaps the most moving material in the book centers around his relationship with Joanne Woodward—their love for each other, his dependence on her, the way she shaped him intellectually, emotionally and sexually. The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man is revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in some places, always complex and profound.
Download or read book An Ordinary Man a Great God written by Joy Mielke and published by Author House. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ordinary man found that serving a great God is always a rewarding life. He saw lives changed from the bondage and hopelessness of sin to lives of great victory and peace. His calling took him to dangerous places where he faced wolves, bandits, guns, bombs, and even being lost in the mountains at night. He faced poverty, famine, and the death of many loved ones, and he found that God was sufficient for each day. This man was Knute Hjalmar Ekblad, missionary to North China in the early 1900's. His faith in his great God is contagious to any reader.
Download or read book Diary of an Ordinary Man As in Extraordinary written by Peter Kerestur and published by Eloquent Books. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 10, 1993, author Peter Kerestur underwent his second open heart surgery. Diary of an Ordinary Man As in "EXTRAORDINARY" presents a year's worth of the events, thoughts, incentives, and reactions that came about in the wake of this highly traumatic experience. The author notes that life not only goes on without bothering to slow down, but rather picks up speed while expanding on its range of topics. No subject is taboo in this extraordinary journal. It expounds on such varied topics as night driving, a beach thunderstorm, snowstorms, car repairs, religion, immortality, the funny bone, small man vs. corporate man, citizen vs. cop, near-death moments vs. reality. It features poems; it presents short-story synopses. It explores the times when Pepsi was still the other Cola, when gas was $1.30 a gallon for unleaded super, when terminology continued to devolve and "rain forest" was replacing "jungle." And yes, it sometimes feels racist, opinionated, slanted, even seeing red. The anchor event of the book is the author's car crash, which might well have led to his aortic valve replacement. It is also what motivated the Diary, and gave birth to philosophical essays not normally expected to be triggered by such an event. Author Bio: Raised in Europe, Peter Kerestur now lives in Bushkill, Pennsylvania, with his wife, the mother of his two grown children. Diary is his second book, following the novel Perspective: A Driver's Tale. He is working on his next book about the Industrial Revolution. Publisher's website: http: //SBPRA.com/PeterKerestur

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collection of writings, thoughts,teachings, and other things byThomas Ray LeNeaveThis book was compiled for my family as a Christmas gift.

Like all others, I have strengths that the Lord has blessed me with as well as weaknesses that I work on constantly to better myself."I reveal that I'm not a writer by any stretch of the imagination, but as an ordinary man I hoped readers would find something meaningful that would be of benefit to them.For those who read it, I hope you gain something from it that will brighten your day.

Diary is a year’s worth of events, thoughts, incentives, and reactions to, that came about in the wake of this highly traumatic experience in one’s life. It records that life not only goes on without bothering to slow down; it rather picks up its speed while expanding on its subjects.

When gas was $1.30 for a gallon of unleaded super. Entries are dramatized somewhat, yet faithful to the spirit of the events treated. Some could be cut out and pasted on a refrigerator door, such as “Ridicule is an offshoot of arrogance, arrogance of superiority, and superiority of ignorance (page 332).” The anchor event is the author’s car crash that might or might not have led to his aortic valve’s replacement. And it is the event that conceived the Diary, in retrospect notwithstanding. The event that also gave birth to philosophical essays not normally expected to be triggered by. Almost twenty years since, is the history repeating itself? Back then, “rain forest” replaced “jungle,” today “climate change” replaces “global warming.” Whom are we kidding?

Download or read book One Day written by Gene Weingarten and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the 50 Best Nonfiction Books of the Last 25 Years”—Slate On New Year’s Day 2013, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Weingarten asked three strangers to, literally, pluck a day, month, and year from a hat. That day—chosen completely at random—turned out to be Sunday, December 28, 1986, by any conventional measure a most ordinary day. Weingarten spent the next six years proving that there is no such thing. That Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s turned out to be filled with comedy, tragedy, implausible irony, cosmic comeuppances, kindness, cruelty, heroism, cowardice, genius, idiocy, prejudice, selflessness, coincidence, and startling moments of human connection, along with evocative foreshadowing of momentous events yet to come. Lives were lost. Lives were saved. Lives were altered in overwhelming ways. Many of these events never made it into the news; they were private dramas in the lives of private people. They were utterly compelling. One Day asks and answers the question of whether there is even such a thing as “ordinary” when we are talking about how we all lurch and stumble our way through the daily, daunting challenge of being human.
