Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lethal Options is meant to be a double entendre, encompassing both the options that people have in life and the mistakes they make in choosing from them, as well as stock options whose promise of quick wealth also can make people choose their fates badlyeven lethally. Two brothers, Johnny and Tommy Gavella, grow up in a poor immigrant Italian family in a tough city with apparently very different outcomes. Johnny turns to crime at a young age, convinced that this lifestyle is the right one for him, giving him the opportunity to be bold and rich, as well as independent from a family he finds embarrassing and stifling. Precepts that he garners from a fathers tough love and a twisted sense of justice and fairness fuel his drive toward a lifetime of crime. He pursues the company of a gang of young toughs led by Tony Poloso and proves to them that he is worthy of their trust and respect. Eventually, he makes his way to North Carolina, leaving his successful, unlawful career as well as his family behind. Now, eight years later, he is summoned back home because of his mothers serious illness. During his return, we learn much more about Johnny and his motives, his affair with Tommys girlfriend Rosalie, and his surprising provenance. His mother Maria tells him of her youth in Italy and her own passion for a young Baron who was brutally murdered, her revenge on the murderer and the stunning, surprising meaning it has for Johnny. Tommy wants to emulate his brother while growing up but is forced by Johnny, his family and circumstances to be the legitimate success of the Gavellas. He studies hard, goes to college and ends up with both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees, becoming the Vice President for Research and Development at Calara Pharmaceuticals. Leading an outwardly successful life, he finds himself in debt for a large amount due to a foolish, though perfectly honest, mistake in playing the stock market. In financial desperation, he obtains a loan from Johnnys old criminal protg Tony Poloso in return for a promise that they would both become extremely wealthy on stock options and a dramatic increase in Tommys companys value when the drug he is developing for them is approved for marketing. However, Tommy knows that the drug has severe safety problems and that the only way it would ever be approved would be to falsify data to make it appear safe and effective. In a clever scheme, he arranges to control the clinical trial for the new drug by essentially inventing patients but covering it up in a manner that appears to be foolproof. Unfortunately, a suspicious friend and a disgruntled employee eventually reveal the scheme and Tommys future comes crashing down with attendant, horrible consequences for him as a consequence of his now bad debt to Poloso.. During this time, Johnny is drawn into Tommys difficulties and obliged to make some difficult decisions about himself and his future. He is torn by his feelings toward Tommys wife Rosalie, his new and shocking knowledge about his mothers past and his own heritage, and a moral dilemma between his family obligations and a return to a past life that he thought was safely buried. Love, hate, pride, deception, sex, desire, money and murder, all options that are freely chosen and whose consequences surprise and sadden.

Book excerpt: Meg likes to plan her life on a spreadsheet. Tania believes in letting the universe take charge. Theirs is an unlikely friendship, to say the least – especially since the two met because they used to date the same guy. At the same time. Now, as older, wiser twenty-nine-year olds (and flatmates, no less), they’re determined to enter their thirties with the one thing that's still missing from their halfway happy lives: that elusive long-lasting romance. When a routine conversation ends up with them laying bets on who will find love first, the battle lines are drawn. Now, if only ridiculous first dates, nosey aunties betting on their bet and complicated professional lives would get out of their way for the girls to find their One. And, really, what is the shortest way to finding love – via probability calculations on a-date-a-day week, or just being in the right place at the right time when the planets are all aligned and there are no Venus–Uranus oppositions?

Download or read book Center Center written by James Whiteside and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “James Whiteside is an electrifying performer, an incredible athlete, and an artist, through and through. To know James is to love him; with Center Center, you are about to fall in love.” —Jennifer Garner “A frank examination and celebration of queerness.” —Good Morning America A daring, joyous, and inspiring memoir-in-essays from the American Ballet Theatre principal dancer-slash-drag queen-slash-pop star who's redefining what it means to be a man in ballet There's a mark on every stage around the world that signifies the center of its depth and width, called "center center." James Whiteside has dreamed of standing on that very mark as a principal dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre ever since he was a twelve-year-old blown away by watching the company's spring gala. The GLAMOUR. The VIRTUOSITY. The RIPPED MEN IN TIGHTS! In this absurd and absurdist collection of essays, Whiteside tells us the story of how he got to be a primo ballerino—stopping along the way to muse about the tragically fated childhood pets who taught him how to feel, reminisce on ill-advised partying at summer dance camps, and imagine fantastical run-ins with Jesus on Grindr. Also in these pages are tales of the two alter egos he created to subvert the strict classical rigor of ballet: JbDubs, an out-and-proud pop musician, and Ühu Betch, an over-the-top drag queen named after Yoohoo chocolate milk. Center Center is an exuberant behind-the-scenes tour of Whiteside’s triple life, both on- and offstage—a raunchy, curious, and unapologetic celebration of queerness, self-expression, friendship, sex, creativity, and pushing boundaries that will entertain you, shock you*, inspire you, embolden you . . . and maybe even make you cry. *THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR CHILDREN.

Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction Zach Wells is a perpetually dissatisfied geologist-slash-paleobiologist. Expert in a very narrow area – the geological history of a cave forty-four metres above the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon – he is a laconic man who plays chess with his daughter, trades puns with his wife while she does yoga, and dodges committee work at the college where he teaches. After a field trip to the desert yields nothing more than a colleague with a tenure problem and a student with an unwelcome crush on him, Wells returns home to find his world crumbling. His daughter has lost her edge at chess, she has developed mysterious eye problems, and her memory has lost its grasp. Powerless in the face of his daughter’s slow deterioration, he finds a mysterious note asking for help tucked into the pocket of a jacket he’s ordered off eBay. Desperate for someone to save, he sets off to New Mexico in secret on a quixotic rescue mission. A deeply affecting story about the lengths to which loss and grief will drive us, Telephone is a Percival Everett novel we should have seen coming all along, one that will shake you to the core as it asks questions about the power of narrative to save.

Book Synopsis The Particulars of Peter by : Kelly Conaboy
Download or read book The Particulars of Peter written by Kelly Conaboy and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This might be one of the month’s, if not the year’s, sweetest books — zaniest, too.” ―The Washington Post "A hilarious addition to the dogoir canon.” ―People "Perhaps the greatest love story ever told.” ―Refinery29 "The feel-good book the world needs." —PopSugar From one of the Internet's most original voices, a hilarious journey through the odd corners of obsessive dog ownership and the author's own infatuation with her perfect dog Peter. The author met Peter in the spring of 2017. He -- calm, puppy-eyed, with the heart of a poet and the soul of, also, a poet -- came to her first as a foster. He was unable to stay with his previously assigned foster for reasons that are none of your business, but which we will tell you were related to frequent urination. The rescue needed someone free of the sort of responsibilities that would force her to regularly leave the house for either work or socializing, and a writer was the natural choice. Thus began a love story for the ages. The Particulars of Peter is a funny exploration of the joy found in loving a dog so much it makes you feel like you're going to combust, and the author's potentially codependent relationship with her own sweet dog, Peter. Readers will follow Peter and his owner to Woofstock, "the largest outdoor festival for dogs in North America," and accompany them to lessons in Canine Freestyle, a sport where dogs perform a routine set to music, creating the illusion that they're dancing with their owners. From learning about Peter's DNA, to seeing if dogs can sense the presence of ghosts, The Particulars of Peter will give readers a smart, entertaining respite from the harsh world of humans into the funny little world of dogs. Readers will accompany this lovable duo through exciting trips, lessons, quiet moments of connection, and probably a failure or two. By fusing memoir and infotainment, The Particulars of Peter promises to refresh the perennially popular dog lit category in a scrumptiously bighearted barnstormer of a book.
