Download or read book Cabin Fever written by Tom Montgomery Fate and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If Tom Montgomery Fate has not found the secret formula for the deliberate, balanced life, he is a chief disciple of the search.”—Chicago Tribune Try to imagine Thoreau married, with a job, three kids, and a minivan. This is the sensibility—serious yet irreverent—that suffuses Cabin Fever, as the author seeks to apply the hermit-philosopher’s insights to a busy modern life. Tom Montgomery Fate lives in a Chicago suburb, where he is a husband, father, professor, and active member of his community. He also lives in a cabin built with the help of friends in the Michigan woods, where he walks by the river, chops wood, and reads Thoreau by candlelight. Fate seeks a more attentive, deliberate way of seeing the world and our place in it, not only in the woods but also in the context of our relationships and society. In his search for “a more deliberate life” amid a high-tech, material world, Fate invites readers into an interrogation of their own lives, and into a new kind of vision: the possibility of enough in a culture of more.
Download or read book Broken Pieces written by Rose Marie Kemp Simon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-07-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Declaration of Independence proclaims that we believe all men to be created equally. It is true that all men are created equally, but all men are not the same. From a biblical perspective, God is not a respecter of persons (Romans 2:11). He is not, but we are. Our differences affect individual concepts of self and our relationships to other people in the world. Diversity causes problems with identity and identity is a creation issue. Any issue that stands between the individual and the Creator must be dealt with. Broken Pieces is a diary of poems about the authors trials and personal life experiences from a very long and difficult period of isolation, confusion and depression. It also contains a testimony of spiritual revelation of hope and peace. The goal of this book is to enlighten, to motivate others and to enhance self awareness, self love and clarity for purpose.
Download or read book Hearts of Darkness written by Dave Thompson and published by Backbeat Books. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). Hearts of Darkness is the story of a generation's coming of age through the experiences of its three most atypical pop stars. James Taylor, Jackson Browne, and Cat Stevens could never have been considered your typical late-sixties songwriters self-absorbed and self-composed, all three eschewed the traditional means of delivering their songs, instead turning its process inward. The result was a body of work that stands among the most profoundly personal art ever to translate into an international language, and a sequence of songs from "Sweet Baby James" and "Carolina in My Mind," to "Jamaica Say You Will" and "These Days," to "Peace Train" and "Wild World" that remain archetypes not only of what the critics called the singer-songwriter movement, but of the human condition itself. Author Dave Thompson, himself a legend among rock biographers, takes on his subjects with his usual brio and candor, leaving no stone unturned in his quest to shine a light on the dark side of this profoundly earnest era in popular music. Penetrating, pointed, and laced with vivid insight and detail, Hearts of Darkness is the story of rock when it no longer felt the need to roll.

Download or read book Village View written by James Collins and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A year living on Symi, a Greek island. James' blog posts from 2013, edited and set out in printed form with images by Neil Gosling, take us through one whole year living on a small Greek island in southeast Greece. From winter storms to summer visitors, from photo walks to book signings, and from goats to shrimp festivals, Village View gives us an upfront, honest and mildly edited account of James and Neil's eleventh year on Symi. "Symi's charm is in its people and the minutiae of their lives; James's great talent lies in his careful observation of the absurd and the amusing, the dramas and the difficulties, because nothing in Symi is ever simple, and in reporting what he sees with kind humour and a writer's eye for the details essential to lively travel writing." Anne Zouroudi, author of Bloomsbury's Greek Detective mysteries.

Download or read book Better Living Through Plastic Explosives written by Zsuzsi Gartner and published by Penguin Canada. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an emerging master of short fiction and one of Canada's most distinctive voices, a collection of stories as heartbreaking as those of Lorrie Moore and as hilariously off-kilter as something out of McSweeney's. In Better Living through Plastic Explosives, Zsuzsi Gartner delivers a powerful second dose of the lacerating satire that marked her acclaimed debut, All the Anxious Girls on Earth, but with even greater depth and darker humour. Whether she casts her eye on evolution and modern manhood when an upscale cul-de-sac is thrown into chaos after a redneck moves into the neighbourhood, international adoption, war photography, real estate, the movie industry, motivational speakers, or terrorism, Gartner filets the righteous and the ridiculous with dexterity in equal, glorious measure. These stories ruthlessly expose our most secret desires, and allow us to snort with laughter at the grotesque world we'd live in if we all got what we wanted.

Download or read book The Spoils written by Casey Pycior and published by Northern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep in the landlocked heart of the Midwest, the characters in The Spoils are drowning under the weight of masculinity, paralyzed in the grip of things left unsaid. These men are broken and breaking, struggling to reckon with the decisions they've made and those they have yet to face. Set mostly in and around Kansas, the stories in this powerful collection explore how men perform, in their jobs and personal lives, and investigate the gray area between doing what's best for oneself and acting a part to make others happy. A man questions whether he should leave his drug-addicted girlfriend and her son or stay, sacrificing his own well-being to be the boy's father. Fed up with the role of the stooge, a Washington Generals player takes his A-game to the Harlem Globetrotters and has to face the unforeseen consequences. A rookie prison guard sent to procure a death row inmate's final meal commits a small, subversive act of humanity. In a world where the line between right and wrong is constantly shifting, some struggle to do the right thing, while others eschew the line altogether and deal with the sometimes violent repercussions. The Spoils examines these difficult choices and will appeal to readers of literary fiction and short stories, especially readers of fiction based in the Midwest.
