Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not Me is a remarkable debut novel that tells the dramatic and surprising stories of two men–father and son–through sixty years of uncertain memory, distorted history, and assumed identity. When Heshel Rosenheim, apparently suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, hands his son, Michael, a box of moldy old journals, an amazing adventure begins–one that takes the reader from the concentration camps of Poland to an improbable love story during the battle for Palestine, from a cancer ward in New Jersey to a hopeless marriage in San Francisco. The journals, which seem to tell the story of Heshel’s life, are so harrowing, so riveting, so passionate, and so perplexing that Michael becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about his father. As Michael struggles to come to grips with his father’s elusive past, a world of complex and disturbing possibilities opens up to him–a world in which an accomplice to genocide may have turned into a virtuous Jew and a young man cannot recall murdering the person he loves most; a world in which truth is fiction and fiction is truth and one man’s terrible–or triumphant–transformation calls history itself into question. Michael must then solve the biggest riddle of all: Who am I?Intense, vivid, funny, and entirely original, Not Me is an unsparing and unforgettable examination of faith, history, identity, and love.

Download or read book Why Not Me written by Mindy Kaling and published by Crown Archetype. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and creator of The Mindy Project and Never Have I Ever comes a hilarious collection of essays about her ongoing journey to find contentment and excitement in her adult life. “This is Kaling at the height of her power.”—USA Today In Why Not Me?, Kaling shares insightful, deeply personal stories about falling in love at work, seeking new friendships in lonely places, attempting to be the first person in history to lose weight without any behavior modification whatsoever, and believing that you have a place in Hollywood when you’re constantly reminded that no one looks like you. In “How to Look Spectacular: A Starlet’s Confessions,” Kaling gives her tongue-in-cheek secrets for surefire on-camera beauty, (“Your natural hair color may be appropriate for your skin tone, but this isn’t the land of appropriate–this is Hollywood, baby. Out here, a dark-skinned woman’s traditional hair color is honey blonde.”) “Player” tells the story of Kaling being seduced and dumped by a female friend in L.A. (“I had been replaced by a younger model. And now they had matching bangs.”) In “Unlikely Leading Lady,” she muses on America’s fixation with the weight of actresses, (“Most women we see onscreen are either so thin that they’re walking clavicles or so huge that their only scenes involve them breaking furniture.”) And in “Soup Snakes,” Kaling spills some secrets on her relationship with her ex-boyfriend and close friend, B.J. Novak (“I will freely admit: my relationship with B.J. Novak is weird as hell.”) Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, and the celebrations of her second coming-of-age into a laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays that anyone who’s ever been at a turning point in their life or career can relate to. And those who’ve never been at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bradley Cooper.

Book excerpt: President Jimmy Carter Few people in America have had such a wide range of exciting experiences as Cabell Brand. He used his experiences as an accomplished business leader to form a remarkable partnership between governments at all levels and his own local community. This brief but profound text will prove beneficial to all young people who wish to follow in his footsteps in strengthening American society in areas of their own individual interest and competence. US Senator Mark Warner - Former Governor of Virginia Cabell Brand is a dear friend who I’ve come to know both as a leader in business and as a role model in his community. The personal stories and experiences he so generously shares in this book, on issues ranging from education to health care and the environment, provide a compelling and readable case for more civic engagement from everyone. What’s more – Cabell’s life story provides a useful guide for the next generation of leaders to step-up to continue his legacy of working to provide opportunities for everyone. President of the National Academy of Sciences, Ralph Cicerone Cabell Brand is an accomplished leader whose adherence to American ideals and his effectiveness make him rare. Even more rare, he demonstrates through genuine and encouraging experiences that many more people can become new leaders in our quest for better governance and a better society. An uplifting book. VMI Superintendent General J.H. Binford Peay, III, U.S. Army (Retired) Cabell Brand’s life exemplifies the concept of the citizen-soldier, the foundation upon which his alma mater, the Virginia Military Institute, was built. He served his country during World War II before embarking on a remarkable career in business, with simultaneous involvement at home and abroad as regards humanitarian causes. I have known few individuals who have been as successful in industry while giving so selflessly of their time and effort with civic affairs, the underprivileged, the environment and the general well being of mankind.
