Download or read book The Most Fun Thing written by Kyle Beachy and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR • Southwest Review • Electric Literature Perfect for fans of Barbarian Days, this memoir in essays follows one man's decade-long quest to uncover the hidden meaning of skateboarding, and explores how this search led unexpectedly to insights on marriage, love, loss, American invention, and growing old. In January 2012, creative writing professor and novelist Kyle Beachy published one of his first essays on skate culture, an exploration of how Nike’s corporate strategy successfully gutted the once-mighty independent skate shoe market. Beachy has since established himself as skate culture's freshest, most illuminating, at times most controversial voice, writing candidly about the increasingly popular and fast-changing pastime he first picked up as a young boy and has continued to practice well into adulthood. What is skateboarding? What does it mean to continue skateboarding after the age of forty, four decades after the kickflip was invented? How does one live authentically as an adult while staying true to a passion cemented in childhood? How does skateboarding shape one's understanding of contemporary American life? Of growing old and getting married? Contemplating these questions and more, Beachy offers a deep exploration of a pastime—often overlooked, regularly maligned—whose seeming simplicity conceals universal truths. THE MOST FUN THING is both a rich account of a hobby and a collection of the lessons skateboarding has taught Beachy—and what it continues to teach him as he strugglesto find space for it as an adult, a professor, and a husband.

Book excerpt: She did not live up to the expectation that all adolescents have. She lived a cold and hard reality. In today's world, her only weapon was the same one that killed her. She always had in mind that happiness was not her thing. And that adolescence was going to be her worst battle, that she couldn't win every day. Hoping to see better days come, where she wouldn't have to force herself to feel what she doesn't feel; to express what she doesn't feel. Well... there are people in this world who don't know how to measure her words, who don't know how much each word affects a person and that each word can become an outflow of blood. She wanted to be loved and wanted by someone. He… He always wanted to save someone and be a hero. Fate did its thing and turned their lives upside down, uniting them for a reason that they both had to discover. She just wanted to be saved from that world. This… is the reality of thousands of adolescents in the world today. For those who seek victory in every battle, every day. For those, that the war has been lost. Suicide is not the solution. Neither does the blade. She didn't understand. And he came to make her understand... that life can smile at her, at everyone capable of smiling at her even with tears falling. Where she needed help. He was her salvation. (Based on real facts)
