Download or read book These Precious Days written by Ann Patchett and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beloved New York Times bestselling author reflects on home, family, friendships and writing in this deeply personal collection of essays. "The elegance of Patchett’s prose is seductive and inviting: with Patchett as a guide, readers will really get to grips with the power of struggles, failures, and triumphs alike." —Publisher's Weekly “Any story that starts will also end.” As a writer, Ann Patchett knows what the outcome of her fiction will be. Life, however, often takes turns we do not see coming. Patchett ponders this truth in these wise essays that afford a fresh and intimate look into her mind and heart. At the center of These Precious Days is the title essay, a surprising and moving meditation on an unexpected friendship that explores “what it means to be seen, to find someone with whom you can be your best and most complete self.” When Patchett chose an early galley of actor and producer Tom Hanks’ short story collection to read one night before bed, she had no idea that this single choice would be life changing. It would introduce her to a remarkable woman—Tom’s brilliant assistant Sooki—with whom she would form a profound bond that held monumental consequences for them both. A literary alchemist, Patchett plumbs the depths of her experiences to create gold: engaging and moving pieces that are both self-portrait and landscape, each vibrant with emotion and rich in insight. Turning her writer’s eye on her own experiences, she transforms the private into the universal, providing us all a way to look at our own worlds anew, and reminds how fleeting and enigmatic life can be. From the enchantments of Kate DiCamillo’s children’s books (author of The Beatryce Prophecy) to youthful memories of Paris; the cherished life gifts given by her three fathers to the unexpected influence of Charles Schultz’s Snoopy; the expansive vision of Eudora Welty to the importance of knitting, Patchett connects life and art as she illuminates what matters most. Infused with the author’s grace, wit, and warmth, the pieces in These Precious Days resonate deep in the soul, leaving an indelible mark—and demonstrate why Ann Patchett is one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

Book excerpt: From the authors who created the One Word movement, impacting schools, businesses, and sports teams around the world, comes a charming fable that can be read and shared by everyone. If you could choose only one word to help you have your best year ever, what would it be? Love? Fun? Believe? Brave? It’s probably different for everyone.

This engaging, fully illustrated fable follows Stevie, a young boy falling asleep on the first day of school. His teacher gives the class an assignment: to find the one word that will help them have their best year ever. To discover their one word, they must look inside themselves, look up, and look out.

His search helps him discover a lot about himself, what he loves, and what is important to him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adventures of Harry and Paul continue with the second book in the series of The Adventures of Harry and Paul. Paul John Hausleben's first full-length novel is the novel that many readers and critics consider his ultimate masterpiece of storytelling. The novel also provides a segue to the many other adventures and stories that follow. The author’s first book, The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul was the first book in the series of adventures. Those stories were where readers first met the two (arguably) most famous characters of the author, but most readers and critics agree that The Night Always Comes is where the author defined them forever and where we fell in love with them. Now, many years after its initial release, The Night Always Comes is a reader's favorite and the novel that carries the label of a true classic, with heartwarming storylines laced with the author's extraordinary flair for humor and details, and his wide assortment of fascinating characters. This novel will bring you to tears, but it will also lift your spirits up with laughter and the joy of life. Most of all, it remains unforgettable while the story etches itself forever into the mind of the reader. When the bombastic, yet ever loveable, but overwhelming Harry M. Redmond Junior purchases a brand-new fancy sports car, and slips behind the wheel of his famous Trans Whizzer (AKA Trans Am) the wild adventures begin. Once more, Harry drags his best friend Paul John Henson along for the ride. While Paul narrates the adventures via a captivating play-by-play, we experience it all as the two heroes meet beautiful young women; they fall in love; they get themselves and their women into crazy adventures and situations, and then as they experience the joy and love of life, they also experience the heartache and the despair of life too. This novel contains one of the author’s most famous humorous chapters “The Flipper Strikes Back” as Paul hilariously details a horrifying ride on a sadistic amusement park ride! The Night Always Comes is still the novel that clearly defines this very talented author, within volumes and volumes of his extensive library of material, and it will forever remain a favorite work of Mr. Paul John Hausleben.
