Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AN NPR CONCIERGE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “In her form-shattering and myth-crushing book….Coe examines myths with mirth, and writes history with humor… [You Never Forget Your First] is an accessible look at a president who always finishes in the first ranks of our leaders.” —Boston Globe Alexis Coe takes a closer look at our first--and finds he is not quite the man we remember Young George Washington was raised by a struggling single mother, demanded military promotions, caused an international incident, and never backed down--even when his dysentery got so bad he had to ride with a cushion on his saddle. But after he married Martha, everything changed. Washington became the kind of man who named his dog Sweetlips and hated to leave home. He took up arms against the British only when there was no other way, though he lost more battles than he won. After an unlikely victory in the Revolutionary War cast him as the nation's hero, he was desperate to retire, but the founders pressured him into the presidency--twice. When he retired years later, no one talked him out of it. He left the highest office heartbroken over the partisan nightmare his backstabbing cabinet had created. Back on his plantation, the man who fought for liberty must confront his greatest hypocrisy--what to do with the men, women, and children he owns--before he succumbs to death. With irresistible style and warm humor, You Never Forget Your First combines rigorous research and lively storytelling that will have readers--including those who thought presidential biographies were just for dads--inhaling every page.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not George Washington" is a rather unusual novel of Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (P. G. Wodehouse), who was a very popular English comic writer, widely read even 40 years after his death. Rather unusual, because it is often perceived as an early experiment of the writer that came out a bit early, before he developed his special comic style, full of good plots, clever wordplay and great characters. The story starts with Miss Margaret Goodwin and James Orlebar Cloyster, who are to be married. But first, James plans to succeed as a writer, so he leaves for London and becomes distracted by other things - personal relationships and career events. His success comes eventually, and he starts wanting something to justify the continued separation from Margaret, so he employs three other people as fronts for his literary work. But of course, things do not work entirely as he wanted. "Not George Washington" is a semi-autobiographical novel (based on Wodehouse's early life as a writer in London), with places and lifestyles drawn from life, but with imaginary plot. The novel was written in collaboration with Herbert Westbrook and published in 1907. "Not George Washington" is written in several voices and some are less likeable; although Wodehouse's skills are already evident, the wordplay is not so clever yet, and the character is not as great and lovable as other characters either. However, even if it may not be the best novel by P. G. Wodehouse, it is still a good reading, written cleverly and definitely becoming more interesting when you pass the opening section and the narrative voice is shifted to other characters. The ending is both happy and improbable. Even if it lacks the perfection of later Wodehouse, this novel is only a step removed from reality, which makes it well worth the read.

Book excerpt: This early novel, written in collaboration with a friend of Wodehouse, is a fascinating curiosity which suggests that Wodehouse might have become a very different, experimental sort of writer, had he continued to write in the same vein. Using multiple narrators, playing with literary stereotypes and identities, it tells the story of an ambitious young writer, James Orlebar Cloyster, who combines mild and affable manners with very few principles. All the main characters are just as unscrupulous, ready to cheat and lie in pursuit of their ends, hence the title of the book. "Not George Washington" also invites readers to reflect on the nature of talent, fame, failure and success, villainy and honor--themes which continued to recur in the author's work for another sixty years.
