Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Book excerpt: Lyman, a thirty-year-old orphan, is sipping coffee on the front steps of the trailer he calls home one morning, when a ninety-year-old parrot arrives with a beakful of cryptic sayings -- such as "That which hath wings shall tell the matter" -- and a mysterious past. Convinced that heeding the bird's wisdom will lead him to answers about himself he so desperately seeks, Lyman combines his night job as a courtesy patrolman, circling the highway that loops around Fort Worth, with days in the library. Together with Fiona, the loquacious librarian, he traces his adopted pet's origins, and while what Lyman ultimately discovers may not help him piece together his own past, it paves the way for a future he never imagined.

Download or read book The Bald Eagle The Improbable Journey of America s Bird written by Jack E. Davis and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best Books of the Month: Wall Street Journal, Kirkus Reviews From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Gulf, a sweeping cultural and natural history of the bald eagle in America. The bald eagle is regal but fearless, a bird you’re not inclined to argue with. For centuries, Americans have celebrated it as “majestic” and “noble,” yet savaged the living bird behind their national symbol as a malicious predator of livestock and, falsely, a snatcher of babies. Taking us from before the nation’s founding through inconceivable resurgences of this enduring all-American species, Jack E. Davis contrasts the age when native peoples lived beside it peacefully with that when others, whether through hunting bounties or DDT pesticides, twice pushed Haliaeetus leucocephalus to the brink of extinction. Filled with spectacular stories of Founding Fathers, rapacious hunters, heroic bird rescuers, and the lives of bald eagles themselves—monogamous creatures, considered among the animal world’s finest parents—The Bald Eagle is a much-awaited cultural and natural history that demonstrates how this bird’s wondrous journey may provide inspiration today, as we grapple with environmental peril on a larger scale.

Book excerpt: This book is about Truth. Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life...” (John 14:6). The God Who designed and created us also designed a Life for us.

But that night I walked out of my wife’s parents home into the driveway, looked up into the sky where I thought that God was, and prayed the simple litt le prayer “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” That night Jesus Christ came into my life, and the rest is all detail. Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, aud all that is within me, bless His Holy Name. Edward E. “Gene” Stacks

Download or read book The Lost Journals of Sylvia Plath written by Kimberly Knutsen and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist, 2015 Midwest Book Award Chicago Book Review Best Book of 2015 Set in the frozen wasteland of Midwestern academia, The Lost Journals of Sylvia Plath introduces Wilson A. Lavender, father of three, instructor of women's studies, and self-proclaimed genius who is beginning to think he knows nothing about women. He spends much of his time in his office not working on his dissertation, a creative piece titled "The Lost Journals of Sylvia Plath." A sober alcoholic, he also spends much of his time not drinking, until he hooks up with his office mate, Alice Cherry, an undercover stripper who introduces him to "the buffer"—the chemical solution to his woes. Wilson's wife, Katie, is an anxious hippie, genuine earth mother, and recent PhD with no plans other than to read People magazine, eat chocolate, and seduce her young neighbor—a community college student who has built a bar in his garage. Intelligent and funny, Katie is haunted by a violent childhood. Her husband's "tortured genius" both exhausts and amuses her. The Lavenders' stagnant world is roiled when Katie's pregnant sister, January, moves in. Obsessed with her lost love, '80s rocker Stevie Flame, January is on a quest to reconnect with her glittery, big-haired past. A free spirit to the point of using other people's toothbrushes without asking, she drives Wilson crazy. Exploring the landscape of family life, troubled relationships, dreams of the future, and nightmares of the past, Knutsen has conjured a literary gem filled with humor and sorrow, Aqua Net and Scooby-Doo, diapers and benzodiazepines—all the detritus and horror and beauty of modern life.

Download or read book At First Click written by B. F. Christman and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: , Looking for that instant connection between two people can sometimes take a lifetime. Searching for love should never end up with you losing all your life savings as well as faith in yourself and God. Being vulnerable following her second divorce, BF was mesmerized by all the sweet nothings coming from the men she met on Internet dating sites. Each one of these potential love partners eventually proved to be fraudulent. After believing them, she gave up life as she knew it, ignoring all the red flags warning her, and was forced to pay the consequences. Because of her background, others expected her to be perfect and solve all problems that she might encounter; however, she discovered that she was not perfect, but instead was human and capable of making mistakes like anyone else. When the world seemed like it was against her, she didn’t give up but instead faced her addiction, embraced the twelve steps of recovery, made a plan to correct her mistakes, and set out to fix them. Courage is not having the strength to go on; It’s going on when you don’t have the strength. —Theodore Roosevelt

Download or read book Conversations with Steve Martin written by Robert E. Kapsis and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baba Yaga is an ambiguous and fascinating figure. She appears in traditional Russian folktales as a monstrous and hungry cannibal, or as a canny inquisitor of the adolescent hero or heroine of the tale. In new translations and with an introduction by Sibelan Forrester, Baba Yaga: The Wild Witch of the East in Russian Fairy Tales is a selection of tales that draws from the famous collection of Aleksandr Afanas'ev, but also includes some tales from the lesser-known nineteenth-century collection of Ivan Khudiakov. This new collection includes beloved classics such as "Vasilisa the Beautiful" and "The Frog Princess," as well as a version of the tale that is the basis for the ballet "The Firebird." The preface and introduction place these tales in their traditional context with reference to Baba Yaga's continuing presence in today's culture--the witch appears iconically on tennis shoes, tee shirts, even tattoos. The stories are enriched with many wonderful illustrations of Baba Yaga, some old (traditional "lubok" woodcuts), some classical (the marvelous images from Victor Vasnetsov or Ivan Bilibin), and some quite recent or solicited specifically for this collection

It captures and conveys the experiences of one man's unwavering ability to pursue his dream of playing in the NBA, despite being faced with adversity and disappointment, both on and off the court. THE ROAD TO THE NBA is captivating, informative and heart wrenching. It encourages the reader to "never give up" on their own dreams, whatever they may be. The example of how to get back up and brush yourself off, each and every time you're knocked down, disappointed, disenfranchised and/or disqualified, is demonstrated on the pages of this must read. THE ROAD TO THE NBA is intended to create, in the lives of each and every person who reads it, the same spirit of hope, strength and motivation found in its pages. It is the Author's desire that you the reader catch hold of that spirit. Quite frankly this book is absolutely Fabulous! There is no book like it in all of professional basketball. Once you start reading it you will never want to stop. This is as intellectual, emotional, motivational, and triumphant as it get´s in the game of life. The book is amazing! And very thought provoking. The reality kept me glued to the pages. I highly recommend this book. -Charmane Townsell, Sheriff´s Depart. Employee.
