Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards.

Download or read book Way Station written by Clifford D. Simak and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugo Award Winner: In backwoods Wisconsin, an ageless hermit welcomes alien visitors—and foresees the end of humanity . . . Enoch Wallace is not like other humans. Living a secluded life in the backwoods of Wisconsin, he carries a nineteenth-century rifle and never seems to age—a fact that has recently caught the attention of prying government eyes. The truth is, Enoch is the last surviving veteran of the American Civil War and, for close to a century, he has operated a secret way station for aliens passing through on journeys to other stars. But the gifts of knowledge and immortality that his intergalactic guests have bestowed upon him are proving to be a nightmarish burden, for they have opened Enoch’s eyes to humanity’s impending destruction. Still, one final hope remains for the human race . . . though the cure could ultimately prove more terrible than the disease. Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, Way Station is a magnificent example of the fine art of science fiction as practiced by a revered Grand Master. A cautionary tale that is at once ingenious, evocative, and compassionately human, it brilliantly supports the contention of the late, great Robert A. Heinlein that “to read science-fiction is to read Simak.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I understand how adultery happens. I know, your first thought is "Of course you can - you're a cheater." That's true, but that's certainly not the whole story. That's always what a cheater says, right? Once again, you are correct. If you're looking for a typical romance, then run - run far. After ten years of marriage I realized my husband barely touched me anymore. There was the obligational monthly sex, but even that was starting to fizzle. I was twenty-nine and he was thirty-two. We should've been doing it like bunnies, night and day, or at least a couple times a week, to be more realistic. But that hadn't happened in years. It didn't hit me until I'd been gone a couple of weeks. Then when I got home we both fell asleep that night, me snuggled up against his back like we always slept. But that's all we did. We just ... slept. No big deal you say? Wrong. It was a very big deal. It was the night I realized we had a real problem. I have a choice to make, but I'm so torn. Do I stay where I'm at or do I go with Kaden, with the man who's showing me I still have a lot to live for ...
