Book excerpt: FOLLOW THE GLOBAL ADVENTURES OF A GAY SAILOR AND HIS CREW AS THEY DISCOVER THE WORLD AND THEMSELVES. How do some people manifest their dreams and make them a reality? What are the secrets and characteristics that allow these people to go out and entirely change their lifestyles, abandon their careers and live a life of adventure, full of challenges and uncertainties and become better people for it? Don't we all entertain ideas of completely reinventing our lives, of having a chance to do it differently and by our own rules? At 46, and with his faithful crew aboard Julia, Captain Larry Jacobson fulfilled his childhood aspirations to become a world-class sailor and circumnavigate the globe. To do so, however, he had to face and overcome his fears, anxieties and insecurities, not only for himself, but also as a captain responsible for the lives of others. The namesake boy behind the gate is Larry himself, a passionate romantic who, since the age of 13, had fantasized discovering what's out there in the greatsense of the word. Rather than contemplate what might be, the author reveals how he made that crucial first step, the one that forever committed him to not just fantasize, but act upon his ideas and truly live to the fullest. His story carries the reader through trials, tribulations and moments of doubt as he alters everything in his life and follows through on the dream. Willing to risk all, he leaves a highly successful career, a business he created, his business and life partner of 20 years, and a comfortable lifestyle to sail into the unknown. For the following six years, his home is a floating 50-foot, self-contained environment that not only supports he and his crew, but also challenges them to face the
Download or read book Hollywood written by Larry McMurtry and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One thing I’ve always liked about Hollywood is its zip, or speed. The whole industry depends to some extent on talent spotting. The hundreds of agents, studio executives, and producers who roam the streets of the city of Los Angeles let very little in the way of talent slip by." In this final installment of the memoir trilogy that includes Books and Literary Life, Larry McMurtry, "the master of the show-stopping anecdote" (O, The Oprah Magazine) turns his own keenly observing eye to his rollercoaster romance with Hollywood. As both the creator of numerous works successfully adapted by others for film and television (Terms of Endearment, Lonesome Dove, and the Emmy-nominated The Murder of Mary Phagan) and the author of screenplays including The Last Picture Show (with Peter Bogdanovich), Streets of Laredo, and the Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain (both with longtime writing partner Diana Ossana), McMurtry has seen all the triumphs and frustrations that Hollywood has to offer a writer, and he recounts them in a voice unfettered by sentiment and yet tinged with his characteristic wry humor. Beginning with his sudden entrée into the world of film as the author of Horseman, Pass By—adapted into the Paul Newman–starring Hud in 1963—McMurtry regales readers with anecdotes that find him holding hands with Cybill Shepherd, watching Jennifer Garner’s audition tape, and taking lunch at Chasen’s again and again. McMurtry fans and Hollywood hopefuls alike will find much to cherish in these pages, as McMurtry illuminates life behind the scenes in America’s dream factory.

Book excerpt: The epic four-volume cycle that began with Larry McMurty's Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece, Lonesome Dove, is completed with this brilliant and haunting novel—a capstone in a mighty tradition of storytelling. Texas Rangers August McCrae and Woodrow F. Call, now in their middle years, are just beginning to deal with the enigmas of the adult heart—Gus with his great love, Clara Forsythe; and Call with Maggie Tilton, the young whore who loves him. Two proud but very different men, they enlist with a Ranger troop in pursuit of Buffalo Hump, the great Comanche war chief; Kicking Wolf, the celebrated Comanche horse thief; and a deadly Mexican bandit king with a penchant for torture. Comanche Moon joins the twenty-year time line between Dead Man's Walk and Lonesome Dove, following beloved heroes Gus and Call and their comrades-in-arms—Deets, Jake Spoon, and Pea Eye Parker—in their bitter struggle to protect an advancing Western frontier against the defiant Comanches, courageously determined to defend their territory and their way of life. At once vividly imagined and unflinchingly realistic, Comanche Moon is a sweeping, heroic adventure full of tragedy, cruelty, courage, honor and betrayal, and the culmination of Larry McMurty's peerless vision of the American West.

Download or read book The Adventures of Herbie Cohen written by Rich Cohen and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author Rich Cohen tells the story of Herbie: the king of Bensonhurst, the world’s best negotiator—and Cohen’s wise, wisecracking father. Meet Herbie Cohen, World’s Greatest Negotiator, dealmaker, risk taker, raconteur, adviser to presidents and corporations, hostage and arms negotiator, lesson giver and justice seeker, author of the how-to business classic You Can Negotiate Anything. And, of course, Rich Cohen’s father. The Adventures of Herbie Cohen follows our hero from his youth spent running around Brooklyn with his pals Sandy Koufax, Larry King, Who Ha, Inky, and Ben the Worrier (many of them members of his Bensonhurst gang, “the Warriors”); to his days coaching basketball in the army in Europe; to his years as a devoted and unconventional husband, father, and freelance guru crossing the country to give lectures, settle disputes, and hone the art of success while finding meaning in this strange, funny world. This book is an ode to a remarkable man by an adoring but not undiscerning son, and a treasure trove of hilarious antics and counterintuitive wisdom. (Some of this stuff you can use at home.) It’s a bildungsroman, a collection of tall tales, the unfolding of a unique biography coiled around Herbie’s great insight and guiding principle: The secret of life is to care, but not that much. Includes black-and-white photographs
