Book excerpt: As a little girl living with an autism spectrum disorder, Lily’s actions are constantly misunderstood; seemingly simple scenarios are so much more than they appear to be.

Book excerpt: With concise, thought-provoking passages, Derrick Jaxn shares what he learned in love once he discovered the difference between just hearing a woman and truly listening to her. There’s a fear that resides in most men disguised as pride of listening to things a woman is trying to get across during conflict in a relationship. The fear of being less manly, weak, or even unintelligent when genuinely considering how a woman’s adverse position may be right has crippled many into a life of childish stubbornness and immaturity. Derrick Jaxn has been there, and in Things She Wishes You Understood, he offers men a bridge to grow out of that fear as he poetically articulates the messages on the hearts of women, everywhere. For any man who’s struggling to overcome the disconnect in understanding his woman, or for any woman who ever felt unheard due to her inability to speak up for her emotional needs in a way a man could comprehend; this short, but powerful collection of quotes is for you.

Download or read book The Columnist written by Jeffrey Frank and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-08-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It a cocktail party, George H. W. Bush encourages Brandon Sladder, the prominent Washington columnist, to write his memoirs. Sladder has, after all, known just about everyone of importance. He has talked on intimate terms with world leaders, been a witness to enormous change, and expressed weighty opinions on important matters of state. He believes that his own life story could add much more than a footnote to our age. But what is meant to be a look back at his life and our times turns out to be far more revealing. The Columnist is Sladder's attempt to burnish his image for posterity. What emerges is something else: the misadventures of an irresistibly loathsome man -- self-important, social climbing, dangerously oblivious. He seems to be remarkably destructive to those who know him best -- employers, rivals, lovers, and family. In Brandon Sladder, Jeffrey Frank has created one of the most memorable rogues in contemporary fiction. By turns hilarious and dismaying, The Columnist is a dead-on, elegantly written portrait of the media and politics of the second half of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who was Andreas Reign? He may have been different things to different people. To my old friends, he was just a name that sounded cool. To my parents, he was a nuisance who took credit for all my work. Back in college, I was an engineering student, and that’s it- that’s all I can say about what I was; but he was always so much more - a writer, a poet, a painter, an artist, a dancer, a sculptor, but forevermore, a friend…he was all of those things, and somehow, none of those things. Nobody really knew who, or what, he was, perhaps not even me. I can tell you one thing about him though…he was everything that I dreamt of being, and the only thing I could never become…he was free. He was a breath of inspiration that whispered between my sighs and my words. He was a piece of me that didn’t understand purpose, and thus sculpted himself into whatever he needed to be. He was born of love, and he walked away lovelorn, to hide behind the words he wrote by my hand, in case someone came looking for him. Who was Andreas Reign? I was, or at least I always wanted to be. Saransh Kejriwal
