Download or read book The Library Book written by Susan Orlean and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Orlean’s bestseller and New York Times Notable Book is “a sheer delight…as rich in insight and as varied as the treasures contained on the shelves in any local library” (USA TODAY)—a dazzling love letter to a beloved institution and an investigation into one of its greatest mysteries. “Everybody who loves books should check out The Library Book” (The Washington Post). On the morning of April 28, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. The fire was disastrous: it reached two thousand degrees and burned for more than seven hours. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed four hundred thousand books and damaged seven hundred thousand more. Investigators descended on the scene, but more than thirty years later, the mystery remains: Did someone purposefully set fire to the library—and if so, who? Weaving her lifelong love of books and reading into an investigation of the fire, award-winning New Yorker reporter and New York Times bestselling author Susan Orlean delivers a “delightful…reflection on the past, present, and future of libraries in America” (New York magazine) that manages to tell the broader story of libraries and librarians in a way that has never been done before. In the “exquisitely written, consistently entertaining” (The New York Times) The Library Book, Orlean chronicles the LAPL fire and its aftermath to showcase the larger, crucial role that libraries play in our lives; delves into the evolution of libraries; brings each department of the library to vivid life; studies arson and attempts to burn a copy of a book herself; and reexamines the case of Harry Peak, the blond-haired actor long suspected of setting fire to the LAPL more than thirty years ago. “A book lover’s dream…an ambitiously researched, elegantly written book that serves as a portal into a place of history, drama, culture, and stories” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis), Susan Orlean’s thrilling journey through the stacks reveals how these beloved institutions provide much more than just books—and why they remain an essential part of the heart, mind, and soul of our country.

Download or read book The Hood written by Quietstrength and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This marvelous autobiography chronicles the unbelievable life of its author from his troubled childhood in Scotland through his glorious golden years in Whistler to his traumatic fall from grace in Vancouver, Canada. This magnificent manuscript is a true, factual real-life story that highlights and challenges pretty much everything we all take for granted in our modern lifestyles. Through his incredible journey, the author not only gives a blow-by-blow narrative of his roller-coaster life but also, from these experiences, presents a whole different perspective on this thing we all call life. It really is an astonishing story that the very few that have heard it compelled him to write as it could not only become an inspirational self-help book for those experiencing similar struggles in their own life but also a drastic warning of what can really happen in a heartbeat to anyone, anywhere, anytime on this planet we call home. Put simply, this is a phenomenal must-read autobiography novel that no matter who you are—male or female, rich or poor, sick or healthy, CEO or garbage collector—yes, everyone should read. From his genuinely sensational life story, Andrew explores the very core of our civilization and presents a very different perspective on what we all now use as measures of success like power, wealth, must-have toys, etc. His trials and tribulations, that simply have to be read to be believed, offer a very different alternative course for humanity to gain what we all privately seek deep down inside us all, namely acceptance, friendship, confidence, faith, hope, true happiness, and pure love, which in reality fly in the face of the more materialistic goals. But rather than being some naive, idealistic, ivory tower novel, everything is based on the real world. It is truly a monumental masterpiece that even the Hollywood scriptwriters would have a hard time of dreaming up. A truly wonderful book for the ages, and if it doesn’t change the world, it might just change your world.

Born and raised in New York City, Ramona Keene dreams of attending photography school and traveling to Paris, but her reality never quite catches up with her imagination. Instead, she works at her uncles' quaint bookstore, where the tea is plentiful and all the adventures are between the covers of secondhand books. But when the new landlord arrives with his Evil Nephew in tow, Romy's quiet life comes crashing down. He plans to triple the rent, something her uncles can't afford. In order to earn the money to help save the bookstore, Romy applies for a job at ExLibris Expeditions, a company that re-creates literary journeys. Romy snags the oddest internship ever: retrace Phileas Fogg's journey from Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days and plan a suitable, contemporary adventure for a client. The task is close to impossible; sticking to the original route means no commercial aircraft permitted, and she’s got a lot less than eighty days to work with.

Worse, Dominic Madison turns out to be the – unfortunately hot – nephew of her family’s worst enemy. Can Romy win the race and circle the globe in time to save the bookstore? And what happens when she starts to fall for the very person who may just be the death of her dreams?
