Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From “the poet laureate of medicine" (The New York Times) and the author of the classic The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat comes a fascinating exploration of the remarkable, unpredictable ways that our brains cope with the loss of sight by finding rich new forms of perception. “Elaborate and gorgeously detailed.... Again and again, Sacks invites readers to imagine their way into minds unlike their own, encouraging a radical form of empathy.” —Los Angeles Times With compassion and insight, Dr. Oliver Sacks again illuminates the mysteries of the brain by introducing us to some remarkable characters, including Pat, who remains a vivacious communicator despite the stroke that deprives her of speech, and Howard, a novelist who loses the ability to read. Sacks investigates those who can see perfectly well but are unable to recognize faces, even those of their own children. He describes totally blind people who navigate by touch and smell; and others who, ironically, become hyper-visual. Finally, he recounts his own battle with an eye tumor and the strange visual symptoms it caused. As he has done in classics like The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat and Awakenings, Dr. Sacks shows us that medicine is both an art and a science, and that our ability to imagine what it is to see with another person's mind is what makes us truly human.

Book excerpt: I swear I am not the kind of person who gets her cell phone caught in places that require an ER trip and an OBGYN. But, apparently, I am. I’m also not the kind of person who spends all her time thinking about the guy who got away. But, apparently, I am, too. Starting a new life in Boston isn’t supposed to include repeatedly embarrassing myself in public, meeting a crazy blond woman who has ties to the band Random Acts of Crazy, and definitely isn’t supposed to include wallowing in a past I thought I’d left behind four years ago. But, apparently, it does. And the drummer for the band, Sam Hinton, is the boy I loved in high school and who disappeared with my heart. Now he’s back, better than ever. Second chances aren’t supposed to make scars disappear and hearts mend. But, apparently, they can. If you trust enough. Fate took their lives by storm four years ago and put an unbreachable gulf between Sam and Amy. Can time really heal all wounds…or are some scars too deep? The second book in the Random series after the wildly successful New York Times and USA Today bestseller Random Acts of Crazy, Random Acts of Trust is a romantic comedy that explores the love between one man, one woman, and ends with one Happily Ever After (and no cliffhangers or chickens!).

Book excerpt: Timeless. Beautiful. Dangerous. 1816 — the Year Without a Summer — resulted in two of literature’s most feared and beloved creations. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Doctor Polidori’s Vampyre. American biographer Rachel Walton attained international recognition for her Shelley bio, unearthing the horrific events which jolted Frankenstein and his wretch into existence on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. What she hadn’t expected during her research was to fall in love with a man of gigantic structure, of uncommon beauty, of intriguing origin. Her research for the Polidori biography proves as startling. The publication of his Vampyre tale unearths a gothic horror that crawls from beneath the sod into London’s ballrooms, grand townhomes, and hotels; daring to invade the salons and bedchambers of the Royal family to satisfy its thirst. And despite the impossibility of her findings, Rachel must again confront the unexpected horror and consequences of true love. Digital Bundle includes the entire series: Fire on the Water: A Companion to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein Origin of the Vampyre: A Companion to Doctor Polidori's Vampyre

But on one fated night, everything changed. Hiding the scars of her past up her sleeves, Olivia transfers her enrollment from Columbia University to The College of Charleston, determined to pursue her own dreams for the first time in her life.

Olivia tries to put her own past behind her and trust Preston, but she discovers that his past might be more present than she ever bargained for… "Olivia and Preston are going to tug on readers’ heartstrings in all the best ways.”—*Jay Crownover, New York Times Bestselling Author "Pieces of Olivia is both heartbreaking and hopeful, with the perfect amount of angst and sexiness.

Many of the situations and sub-stories are based on actually fact. Could this be how we really started?

Download or read book Twenty Four Years of Mondays written by Nathaniel Papahawk Goldberg and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty Four Years of Mondays is a novel that takes place in New Yorks East Village, the home of Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan and a host of others at the end of the Beat Generation. The book sketches the life of Gideon Polinsky, his love for the deceased writer Herman Hesse culminating in a bizarre existence as a hopeless madman caught up in several lifestyles. It is a dilemma of the very guts of the creative mind with its madness, its hunger, its suffering, and building to a crescendo within existence where the end connects the reader to the horror of possibility. Gideons lifestyle is extremely diverse, relentlessly packed with a raw, devouring painful side of life capturing the verve and passion of Greenwich Village in the early 60s.
Download or read book Love Dream written by Lillian Bosnack and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My body tingled when I lay awake in the dark of night, alone in my bed, wanting Bill at my side. I’ve been telling him what a committed Christian I am, yet I harbor desires that seem to be far from my faith. The lust of the flesh comes to mind. I’m in total agony. How could I say all the right words about being a devout Christian and then secretly nurture the craving to give him my all? I think that using the Christian title is a terrible misnomer when I’m not thinking like one. Or am I? Do other women in my situation want to be held, kissed, and romanced like this? Do they have the battle I’m having over their spiritual side and their human yearnings? I agonize when I consider the possible outcome. Love Dream Reader Reviews “Warm tears clouded my vision as I closed the cover on Love Dream. I’m drained from the intimate prose taken from Lilly’s diary. I’ll read this book again and again. Lilly allows me (all of us) the privilege of living the dream of a lifetime with her.” — Sara Parnell “I’ve read a lot of memoirs and romantic novels and find this combination so fresh and intriguing. It was so emotionally deep that I had to stop, rest and dry my eyes. Love Dream goes beyond words to express how moved I was.” — Shirley A. Jeup “As a college instructor I had to make time to read Love Dream. When I did, I couldn’t put it down. I’m intrigued with the way it combines the love story and the spiritual lessons. It’s a great read for both men and women, old and young.” — Michael Anderson “I just finished Love Dream, and I think it’s great! It deals with the issues of relationship, sex, age (both physical and spiritual), and reveals a woman who ultimately made all the right choices. It’s boldly honest....” —Sally Stuart
Download or read book The Best Little Boy in the World written by Andrew Tobias and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2010-09-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic account of growing up gay in America. "The best little boy in the world never had wet dreams or masturbated; he always topped his class, honored mom and dad, deferred to elders and excelled in sports . . . . The best little boy in the world was . . . the model IBM exec . . . The best little boy in the world was a closet case who 'never read anything about homosexuality.' . . . John Reid comes out slowly, hilariously, brilliantly. One reads this utterly honest account with the shock of recognition." The New York Times "The quality of this book is fantastic because it comes of equal parts honesty and logic and humor. It is far from being the story of a Gay crusader, nor is it the story of a closet queen. It is the story of a normal boy growing into maturity without managing to get raped into, or taunted because of, his homosexuality. . . . He is bright enough to be aware of his hangups and the reasons for them. And he writes well enough that he doesn't resort to sensationalism . . . ." San Francisco Bay Area Reporter
Download or read book There I Was Here I Am written by Christine Ball and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started to write this book during a time when my mind and body were at its weakest, when I could only live from one hour to the next. I was living with addictions and the pain and trauma that no mother should have to endure after the tragic and sudden loss of my beautiful son, Naylor. It was self-help that started me on a journey to recovery, and eventually I learned to channel my mind, body, and soul. This book also gives an insight to the life of a little boy growing into a man while battling grief for his father and struggling to live his dream. I wrote this book from my heart. I relived every word, and it wasnt easy. I am from the Romany culture, and so I found it hard to put my private life in black and white for everyone to read, but doing this has enabled me to help so many others. My book is raw but honest, and I know that it will help anyone who is also going through unbearable emotional pain to know that they are never alone.
