Book excerpt: THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Sparkling with mystery, humor and the uncanny, this is a fun read. But beneath its effervescent tone, more complex themes are at play.” —San Francisco Chronicle In his wildly entertaining debut novel, Hank Green—cocreator of Crash Course, Vlogbrothers, and SciShow—spins a sweeping, cinematic tale about a young woman who becomes an overnight celebrity before realizing she's part of something bigger, and stranger, than anyone could have possibly imagined. The Carls just appeared. Roaming through New York City at three a.m., twenty-three-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture. Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship—like a ten-foot-tall Transformer wearing a suit of samurai armor—April and her best friend, Andy, make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube. The next day, April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world—from Beijing to Buenos Aires—and April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight. Seizing the opportunity to make her mark on the world, April now has to deal with the consequences her new particular brand of fame has on her relationships, her safety, and her own identity. And all eyes are on April to figure out not just what the Carls are, but what they want from us. Compulsively entertaining and powerfully relevant, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing grapples with big themes, including how the social internet is changing fame, rhetoric, and radicalization; how our culture deals with fear and uncertainty; and how vilification and adoration spring for the same dehumanization that follows a life in the public eye. The beginning of an exciting fiction career, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a bold and insightful novel of now.
Download or read book Segregated Love written by Samuel Anderson and published by Cottnot Blewgrynn Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s not only segregated love but forbidden love. The type of love that’s looked down upon in the south. It’s the type of love that made the Sheriff of Houston an outlaw - with a bounty placed on his head. Bestselling historical and cultural author, Samuel Anderson, bestows the fiction story set in the old town of Houston, Texas, where two friends had turned an early childhood friendship into a kill or be-killed relationship. Segregated Love is the perfect combination of historical fiction, erotica, and action. Sheriff Hank Thompson is a wealthy plantation owner. He inherited his father’s empire and the votes of Houston, Texas, making him a second-generation sheriff of the town. Like his father, Hank treats all people with respect regardless of their skin color, unlike Henry, who sees the slaves as equivalent to animals. Though Hank does not need any more slaves, he impulsively buys a new one only for two reasons: she was intoxicating to look at, and he couldn’t let his former friend - Henry - buy her. Hank knew the things Henry would do to this beautiful Black woman, and he wasn’t going to let that happen. The Sheriff introduces this new lady to his farm and other slaves. He has a weird affection for her, and gradually the two begin to reveal this feeling as a mutual occurrence which resulted in a secret intimate relationship. When Hank frees two of his favorite slaves, Henry makes it his mission to destroy him - his goal all along. The town finds out about the freed slaves and the forbidden relationship Hank was involved in, and Hank is stripped of his badge and labeled as an outlaw. He faces an ultimatum of traveling as far away as he can go or hang by the neck in front of the whole town. Meanwhile, Henry takes over as sheriff, capturing Hank’s newly bought slave and using her for sex and torture. Tormented by the mental images of abuse she must be going through, Hank decides to go back into his old town - after disappearing for three months - to save the love of his life, even if it means somebody will collect the bounty placed on his head. And, though he’s the fastest gun in the south, he’ll still need the help of his new friends from the Native American village he’s been living in this whole time.

Download or read book Then We Came to the End written by Joshua Ferris and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Hemingway Foundation / PEN Award, this debut novel is "as funny as The Office, as sad as an abandoned stapler . . . that rare comedy that feels blisteringly urgent." (TIME) No one knows us in quite the same way as the men and women who sit beside us in department meetings and crowd the office refrigerator with their labeled yogurts. Every office is a family of sorts, and the Chicago ad agency depicted in Joshua Ferris's exuberantly acclaimed first novel is family at its best and worst, coping with a business downturn in the time-honored way: through gossip, elaborate pranks, and increasingly frequent coffee breaks. With a demon's eye for the details that make life worth noticing, Joshua Ferris tells an emotionally true and funny story about survival in life's strangest environment—the one we pretend is normal five days a week.

Download or read book Dan Versus Nature written by Don Calame and published by Candlewick. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From screenwriter Don Calame comes another outrageously funny and raunchy tale of teen boys whose plans go awry — this time, on a survivalist camping trip. Shy and scrawny Dan Weekes spends his time creating graphic novels inspired by his dream girl and looking out for his mom as she dates every man in the state of California. Then his mom drops a bomb: she and her latest beau, Hank, are engaged, and she’s sending her “two favorite men” on a survivalist camping trip to “bond.” Determined to trick Hank into showing his true — flawed — colors on the trip, Dan and his nerdy germaphobe best friend, Charlie, prepare a series of increasingly gross and embarrassing pranks. But the boys hadn’t counted on a hot girl joining their trip or on getting separated from their wilderness guide—not to mention the humiliating injuries Dan suffers in the course of terrorizing his stepdad-to-be. With a man-hungry bear on their trail, no supplies, and a lot of unpleasant itching going on, can Dan see his plan through now that his very survival depends on Hank?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: KENDRA BARES ALL Fans of the E! smash hit series The Girls Next Door fell in love with sporty Playboy beauty Kendra Wilkinson’s care- free spirit, infectious laugh, and down-to-earth nature. Now that she’s moved out of the world’s most famous bachelor pad and into her own delightfully chaotic world on Kendra as wife to NFL star Hank Baskett and mother to their newborn son, we’ve watched her hilarious antics as she adjusts to domestic life. But how much do we really know about the fun-loving star? In this humorous and optimistic, sometimes heartbreaking, but always unfailingly honest memoir, Kendra reveals the highs and lows of her extraordinary journey. She wasn’t always the quintessential girl next door. Before she was a reality television superstar, Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend, or one of the most popular Playboy cover models ever, Kendra was an athletic tomboy whose father walked out on her family when she was a little girl. She grew into a rebellious teenager with a serious drug habit before she quit cold turkey and beat the odds to graduate from a high school that almost didn’t give her a second (or third, or fourth) chance. Following her rocky teenage years, an out-of-the- blue phone call from Hugh Hefner changed everything. Kendra dishes candidly about life in the Playboy Mansion: the sex, the parties, the show, and even her relationships with her Girls Next Door costars—Hef, Holly, and Bridget. She tells the true story about how she and Hank met and built a relationship in secret while she was still Hef’s girl- friend and a public face of Playboy. Finally, she reflects on the slew of unexpected changes in the short space of a year that have brought her sliding into home from Playboy party girl to wife and mother with a blooming Hollywood career. If you think you’ve seen all of Kendra, think again. She’s only warming up. . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver details the economic forces that persuaded him to put Silveto to rest and to return to the studios of such major jazz recording labels as Columbia, Impulse, and Verve, where he continued expanding his catalogue of new compositions and making recordings that are at least as impressive as his earlier work. Silver's irrepressible sense of humor combined with his distinctive spirituality make his account, which is well seasoned with anecdotes about the music, the musicians, and the milieu in which he worked and prospered, both entertaining and inspiring."--BOOK JACKET.
