Download or read book No Touch Monkey written by Ayun Halliday and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zine queen Ayun Halliday confesses the best-and worst-of her globetrotting misadventures. "I laughed hard on nearly every page of this shockingly intimate memoir and deeply funny book." -- Stephen Colbert Ayun Halliday may not make for the most sensible travel companion, but she is certainly one of the zaniest, with a knack for inserting herself (and her unwitting cohorts) into bizarre situations around the globe. Curator of kitsch and unabashed aficionada of pop culture, Halliday offers bemused, self-deprecating narration of events from guerrilla theater in Romania to drug-induced Apocalypse Now reenactments in Vietnam to a perhaps more surreal collagen-implant demonstration at a Paris fashion show emceed by Lauren Bacall. On layover in Amsterdam, Halliday finds unlikely trouble in the red-light district -- eliciting the ire of a tiny, violent madam, and is forced to explain tampons to soldiers in Kashmir -- "they're for ladies. Bleeding ladies" -- that, she admits, "might have looked like white cotton bullets lined up in their box." A self-admittedly bumbling vacationer, Halliday shares -- with razor-sharp wit and to hilarious effect -- the travel stories most are too self-conscious to tell. Includes line drawings, generously provided by the author.

Download or read book Above the Din written by Labar Laskie and published by Henschelhaus Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2021-05-23 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999, a 49-year-old woman tended her garden outside of the Chicago suburban home she shared with her husband, daughter and pet dogs. Extended family lived close by. She had a job that she loved. Life didn't get any better than this. One phone call changed everything. A random blood test had just revealed that she had hepatitis C. She'd never heard of it before. Not only did she have it, but it had been swimming in her bloodstream for 30 years, contracted from a blood transfusion in 1969. Tests would reveal that her liver was engulfed in chronic active liver disease - almost cirrhotic. Hepatitis C in 1999 was a degenerative, often incurable and deadly disease. Something had to be done. The only treatment at the time offered less than a 50% chance for cure and came with a plethora of nasty side effects. It was a yearlong regimen of chemotherapy that could trigger flu-like symptoms. And those patients who didn't respond to this difficult protocol frequently found themselves immunocompromised when it was over and sicker than before. The "wonder drugs" were still a long way off. While waiting 15 years for a cure, Labar Laskie took extraordinary measures - except the chemotherapy - to keep her symptoms at bay, calm her fears, and lift her spirits. Above the Din is her story. Color images throughout this graphic memoir.

Full of action, adventure, and mystery; a sister must save her brother, as the two are chosen Holy Warriors in a new world of rapture. The story follows our heroine, Lyvia, as she is tasked with the search for the only Holy Relic that will bring her brother, Shane, back to life. The only problem- the aforementioned object rests in the hands of her ex-boyfriend, who happens to be the Devil, himself. We find Lyvia in this dilemma following the second "Great Rain." Due to a hundred-year rainfall, the world as we know it has shrunk to one island of land. The rest of the globe is covered in ocean. This new world is called the "Realm," and it is sectioned into seven "Shires."
