Download or read book I ve Been 16 for 34 Years written by Julie Oliver and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's 50-year-old is the new 30-year-old. Do the math. It means...when we turned 16 we were really minus-4-years-old. This explains a lot. The corpuscles from our teen years still bob along through the arteries of our hearts, detouring around the clogs of middle age, searching for a place to fit in. We can laugh, we can cry, but 16 became a part of us. It's still lurking in murky corners. These essays and exaggerations will comfort you like a C+ on a calculus quiz. Hmmm...is it too late for extra credit? This modest epic has enabled thousands of humans to enjoy the imperfect wrinkles of life-without need for popularity, prestige, prosperity or plastic surgery. It could be in your hands. What are you waiting for? You're not getting any younger.

Book excerpt: Secrets and soul stones and neon body paint… guess who’s up to her neck in murder? Just when undercover SIA agent Holly Day thinks she has life in small town Gravestone handled, someone flies off the handle and Tarkath mobster Dino Cittadino turns up dead. Throw in a treasure hunt with fake clues, a busty blonde with secrets of her own, and a mysterious stranger who seems oddly familiar, and Holly is up to her eyeballs in intrigue and chaos. Holly’s mission? Avoid trouble and keep a low profile. Holly’s reality? She’s on a rollercoaster ride of danger, where she can’t go five minutes without getting injured, and the only thing hotter than the murder investigation is her crush on the sheriff. Life has become messier than a kid’s finger-painting project, more complicated than advanced calculus, and more dangerous than running with scissors. And that’s just a typical day for Holly! Her rat, Flynn, is her only constant companion in this whirlwind of madness, and her senior sidekick Doris is always ready to risk life and limb - or at least her driver’s license - to help Holly solve the case. Holly’s life is a swirling vortex of chaos. All she can do is hold on for dear life and hope she doesn’t get splattered like a bug on a windshield.
Download or read book The Hazards of Good Breeding A Novel written by Jessica Shattuck and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2004-04-17 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "pitch perfect" (Los Angeles Times) first novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Women in the Castle. This "richly appointed and generously portrayed" (Kirkus Reviews) debut novel tells the story of a WASPy, old-Boston family coming face to face with an America much larger than the one it was born in. Told from five perspectives, the novel spans an explosive week in the life of the Dunlaps, culminating in a series of events that will change their way of life forever. Caroline Dunlap has written off the insular world of the Boston deb parties, golf club luaus, and WASP weddings that she grew up with. But when she reluctantly returns home after her college graduation, she finds that not everything is quite as predictable, or protected, as she had imagined. Her father, the eccentric, puritanical Jack Dunlap, is carrying on stoically after the breakup of his marriage, but he can't stop thinking of Rosita, the family housekeeper he fired almost six months ago. Caroline's little brother, Eliot, is working on a giant papier-mâché diorama of their town—or is he hatching a plan of larger proportions? As the real reason for Rosita's departure is revealed, the novel culminates in a series of events that assault the fragile, sheltered, and arguably obsolete world of the Dunlaps. Opening a window into a family's repressed desires and fears, The Hazards of Good Breeding is a startlingly perceptive comedy of manners that heralds a new writer of dazzling talent. A New York Times Notable Selection and a Boston Globe Book of the Year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SEVENY SEVEN Seveny-Seven was what the Disc Jockeys, slovenly, called the year of seventy seven, the year after the heat wave and the year before 'New Wave'. Nineteen Seventy Seven was the year of the Queen's Jubilee and the zenith of the Punk Rock revolution. It was time of fear and uncertainty. The oil crisis had knocked the economy off course, the cold war was at its height, there was doom and gloom all around. What did 1977 mean to adolescents? One teenager, Michael Fitzalan was keen to discover new music and celebrate his fifteenth birthday with a book published and a girl on his arm. An excruciatingly frank account of life in 1970's London that will resonate with teenagers now. This is a wonderful romp through a decade defining year.

In 80/20 Running, respected running and fitness expert Matt Fitzgerald introduced his revolutionary training program and explained why doing 80 percent of runs at a lower intensity and just 20 percent at a higher intensity is the best way for runners at all levels--as well as cyclists, triathletes, and even weight-loss seekers--to improve their performance. Now, in this eye-opening follow-up, Fitzgerald teams with Olympic coach Ben Rosario to expand and update the 80/20 program to include ultramarathon training and such popular developments as the use of power meters. New research has bolstered the case that the 80/20 method is in fact that most effective way to train for distance running and other endurance sports. Run Like a Pro (Even If You’re Slow) shows readers how to take the best practices in elite running and adopt them within the limits of their own ability, lifestyle, and budget.
