Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting there hadn't been easy, but at long last, she'd made it. Maria Marchiano was in college. As the fourth of five children in a blue collar Chicago family, she'd had to finance her education herself. But money hadn't been Maria's biggest obstacle. Her outstanding grades and SAT scores won her a full scholarship to the prestigious New Whitegroves College. She had the discipline and skills needed to succeed, but lacked self-confidence and was encumbered by fear. For years, Maria bore the brunt of her mother's volatile anger while her alcoholic father had done nothing. Escaping her mother's dominance was the hardest task Maria had ever faced. Now at Whitegroves, her days of fear and pain were finally behind her she thought. Then she met Ted Rice .
Book Synopsis Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by : Robin Sloan
Download or read book Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore written by Robin Sloan and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon out of his life as a web-design drone, and serendipity, sheer curiosity and the ability to climb a ladder like a monkey have landed him a new gig working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But Clay begins to realize that this store is even more curious than its name suggests. There are only a few customers, but they come in repeatedly and never seem to actually buy anything. Instead they “check out” impossibly obscure volumes from strange corners of the store, all according to some elaborate, long-standing arrangement with the gnomic Mr. Penumbra. The store must be a front for something larger, Clay concludes, and soon he has embarked on a complex analysis of the customers’ behaviour and roped his friends into helping him figure out just what’s going on. But once they take their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the secrets extend far beyond the walls of the bookstore. Evoking both the fairy-tale charm of Haruki Murakami and the enthusiastic novel-of-ideas wizardry of Neal Stephenson or Umberto Eco, Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore is exactly what it sounds like—an establishment you have to enter and will never want to leave.
Download or read book Penumbra written by Songeziwe Mahlangu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mangaliso Zolo is a hapless recent graduate, still living in the southern suburbs of Cape Town near the university. Manga has an office job at a large insurance company, but he is anonymous and overlooked in this vast bureaucracy. Penumbra charts Manga's daily struggles with mental illness and the twin pull, from his many friends and acquaintances, between a reckless drug-fuelled lifestyle and charismatic Christianity. The novel brings an alternative experience of Cape Town to life, one far removed from both the gloss of tourism brochures and the familiar poverty of the Cape Flats. Mahlangu's voice is unlike anything South African literature has yet seen and this debut novel dissects young, urban slackers in South Africa with startling precision.

Book excerpt: From Robin Sloan, the New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, comes Sourdough, "a perfect parable for our times" (San Francisco Magazine): a delicious and funny novel about an overworked and under-socialized software engineer discovering a calling and a community as a baker. Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Southern Living Lois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. She codes all day and collapses at night, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Then, disaster! Visa issues. The brothers quickly close up shop. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. She must keep it alive, they tell her—feed it daily, play it music, and learn to bake with it. Lois is no baker, but she could use a roommate, even if it is a needy colony of microorganisms. Soon, not only is she eating her own homemade bread, she’s providing loaves to the General Dexterity cafeteria every day. Then the company chef urges her to take her product to the farmer’s market—and a whole new world opens up.

Download or read book Penumbra 2 written by Anne Katherine and published by . This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penumbra 2 begins where Penumbra 1 ends, a continuation of the life of Priest Sammuel and the introduction of subsequent lives inhabited by the person we now know as Anne Katherine. Each life is layered carefully to illustrate how we are offered 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th chances to fix our past mistakes. While Sammuel, a respected and gifted priest, fought to save the life of his beloved niece, victim of a devious attack by veiled adversaries, the very nature of the continent of Atlantis-the climate, its culture, even the core of integrity that ran through all human life-was changing. Would Sammuel find the inner strength to stand against the renegade priests whose quest for power was threatening their world? Sarel was a humble tanner when the disciple came to his small village. A brightness burned from this man, and Sarel left his tools and followed him, learning of the great teacher who had been slain by the authorities. Sarel gave himself to their mission and paid a great price. On his vision quest, Path to New saw men climbing upon each others' backs as they scrambled up a distant shore. And the lives and culture of his people were then threatened as these men thundered toward them. He was tribal shaman and had a second chance, in this life, to save his people. But he and his father, the chief, disagreed on how this might be done. A mistake would cost everyone's lives. Anne Katherine, MA, a respected and gifted therapist and author of 6 bestselling self-help books, 9 books altogether, discovered that people could transform their problems and free themselves from issues that kept them stuck in unhappiness. But these methods were beyond conventional therapy. If she spoke up, would she lose face among her friends and colleagues? She had a third chance, in her current life, to risk her personal status in order to spread a life-saving message. An excerpt: "I was concerned about what some of my friends would think of me, now that I've revealed I have this whole secret spiritual life. I see now that this is the exact worry that plagued Sammuel. I feel a balm on my heart that I've forged ahead and let Penumbra 1 and Penumbra 2 be published. I've fixed my former mistake. This is an incredibly blessed feeling and I invite you to discover it." "Penumbra is going to change the way we think about our personal histories. This is the cusp of a new way of understanding." The Rev. Sherry Buckner
Book Synopsis A Journey Through Afghanistan by : David Chaffetz
Download or read book A Journey Through Afghanistan written by David Chaffetz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, David Chaffetz and a fellow American student slipped from the protection of Western culture and immersed themselves in the customs, fears, and hopes of the Afghan people, setting out on horseback through the mountains and into a lonely, hermetic world of nomads and isolated villages. Chaffetz's vivid, honest, and often poignant account of their experience reveals a great deal about the people of Afghanistan-and Willard Wood, his traveling companion, contributes a foreword considering the experience of the Afghan people in the new light of autumn, 2001.
Download or read book Penumbra 1 written by Anne Katherine, Ma and published by . This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penumbra 1 traces the adventures of one soul as it inhabits the body of a priest in Atlantis, a temple prostitute in Syria, a nomad in the Middle East, and a well-known and respected contemporary therapist, Anne Katherine. Starting in pre-historic times and continuing to the current era, her story resumes in Penumbra 2 as she becomes a messenger for the disciples, a Dutch farmboy, a Scots woman, and a Native American shaman. Sammuel was but a boy on a mountain farm, not knowing that it was unusual that he could shift the position of a cloud or bring a bird to his finger. Then a group of priests recognized his gifts and took him to the Temple where his natural skills were cultivated and channeled. He found his beloved there and an adversary also. These relationships presented him with two different paths--one would take him to the mission he was born to, the other would detour him toward a lesser good. It was a time of great earth change and he was to be an important part of what unfolded. But the choices he was making as a student and a young priest were building the man he would become. Could concern about others' opinions be powerful enough to keep him from fulfilling his mission? Kalea lived in a small desert village until she was taken from her mother and sold to the temple. She was called a priestess, but her duties required her to serve the priests. She was surrounded with people who loved her and wanted to help. Could she find purpose in a life she hated? Habib wandered the desert with his nomadic tribe. After lusting after a protected female, he nearly lost his life near the oasis. A dream offered him a new idea about a more noble way of being a man. Would he choose it? Perhaps we live in another time of great earth change. Perhaps you have your own special calling. Are signs, dreams, or people nudging you? Do you get stopped by pride, fear, or not recognizing the help that is near you? Penumbra will open your mind to the possibilities that are hidden in the flow of your own life. Observe how the mistakes of a former life can be repaired in this life and that sickness and unhappiness can be healed by amending old errors. "I've fixed my former mistake. This is an incredibly blessed feeling and I invite you to discover it." "Penumbra is going to change the way we think about our personal histories. This is the cusp of a new way of understanding." The Rev. Sherry Buckner "A beautiful book, filled with psychological and spiritual insights." Dr. Glen Smead

Book Synopsis Umbra, Penumbra & Me by : Renee Paule
Download or read book Umbra, Penumbra & Me written by Renee Paule and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Umbra, Penumbra and Me is a collection of the first four observational books written by Renée Paule. They chronicle her self-reflective philosophical journey in a style that's amiable and engaging. Throughout this book, Renée questions the many facets of life that we take for granted by lifting the lid on convention, and challenging the status-quo - unlearning all that society has taught her in the process, and freeing her mind of conditioning. There is much to think about in these pages and it can make for uncomfortable reading, as questions we tend to avoid are raised and discussed - this is not, as Renée calls it, 'cotton wool' philosophy. This collection is 'self-help' in the truest sense; there are no answers provided and it is left to the reader to cogitate and draw their own conclusions - conclusions that Renée maintains we already know but shy away from. If there is one thing that stands out in this work it's that 'we' are responsible for what happens in our world - there is no-one else to blame. You may not always like what you read herein, but will be hard-pressed to refute it.

Book excerpt: The journey that had to be taken... Everyone struggles to figure out who they are and what to do with their lives at some point, right? I took it personally. When I decided to embark on a modern-day vision quest to figure it out, my friends and family thought I was crazy. Maybe I was. I was positive that a cosmic intervention would deliver me to a heightened sense of identity and purpose when I declared my intention to the universe and followed the signs and synchronicities. It did. Over twenty years ago, I left my world behind to embark on an amazing journey. "Living Penumbra" is an untainted and sometimes-chilling account of that journey, told through a series of intimate journal entries spanning over fifteen years.
