Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Book Award finalist and debut novel by the bestselling author of The Dinner Party: "A readymade classic of the office-novel genre. . . . A truly affecting novel about work, trust, love, and loneliness." --Seattle Times No one knows us quite the same way as the men and women who sit beside us in department meetings and crowd the office refrigerator with their labeled yogurts. Every office is a family of sorts, and the ad agency Joshua Ferris brilliantly depicts in his debut novel is family at its strangest and best, coping with a business downturn in the time-honored way: through gossip, pranks, and increasingly frequent coffee breaks. With a demon's eye for the details that make life worth noticing, Joshua Ferris tells a true and funny story about survival in life's strangest environment--the one we pretend is normal five days a week.

Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the chocolate, crisps and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up. In his extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch an incredible ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years.

Book excerpt: Every year, thousands of children are involved with the most challenging and terrifying system in existence. This system has produced some of the most prosperous, well-respected, highly successful adults this country has ever known. But, unfortunately, this same system has also produced some of the grimmest, most depraved psycho and sociopathic adults to ever walk in our society. These have become murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug and alcohol abusers, pushers, and prostitutes. This system, known as the foster care system, has been a part of our community for generations. In Georgia alone, there exists over three thousand six hundred foster homes, in which almost ten thousand children reside. Of these, thousands have been placed in therapeutic environments due to severe emotional damage. We will explore the lives of three different families and their integration with the system. We will also expose the system for all that it isthe good, the bad, and the ugly.
