Download or read book Hard Laughter written by Anne Lamott and published by Viking. This book was released on 1980 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Lamott's poignant first novel, reissued in an attractive new edition. Writer (and sometime housecleaner) Jennifer is twenty-three when her beloved father, Wallace, is diagnosed with a brain tumor. This catastrophic discovery sets off Anne Lamott's unexpectedly sweet and funny first novel, which is made dramatic not so much by Wallace's illness as by the emotional wake it sweeps under Jen and her brothers, self-contained Ben and feckless, lovable Randy. With characteristic affection and accuracy, Lamott sketches this offbeat family and their nearest and dearest as they draw ever closer in the intimacy Jen prizes "among the other estimable things: good music, good hard laughter, good sex, good industry, and good books."

Arranged in ascending order of length so as to entice the reader to lose themselves in the story, Stories for Short Attention Spans opens the window on the essence of hope.
Book Synopsis The Five Minute Iliad Other Instant Classics by : Greg Nagan
Download or read book The Five Minute Iliad Other Instant Classics written by Greg Nagan and published by Gallery Books. This book was released on 2000-08-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Homer really blind, or was that just his shtick? Was Dante a righty or a lefty? Why aren't there any pictures of Jane Austen in a bikini? What made Oscar so Wilde? How much did Hemingway? These are just some of the many great questions of Western literature ignored in this book. From the author of A Prairie Home Companion's beloved "Five-Minute Classics" comes The Five-Minute Iliad and Other Instant Classics, a witty and profane lampoon of the Western literary canon -- the Spinal Tap of literature. "I will never write such wordy trash again," Leo Tolstoy said of War and Peace after reading Homer in the original Greek. Tolstoy's pledge inspired humorist Greg Nagan to whet his double-edged verbal sword and offer this gleefully twisted take on what contemporary readings of the Great Books say about our society today. From The Iliad to On the Road, these fifteen parodies provide a riotous romp through Western civilization (one version of it, anyway) from Homer to Kerouac, from Ancient Greece to Postwar America, from the Lyrical Epic to the Breathless Gush. Nagan's mirthful mayhem will delight those who've read the Great Books, and those who haven't read them will find these literary caricatures entertaining in their own right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short Stories from a Short Attention Span is exactly what it seems. It is a collection of stories that are too short to be turned into novels, partially because of the author's short attention span. These stories were written purely for fun or to be used in sermons or messages. Most of the stories attempt to teach morals and convey biblical teachings, but others are just the product of my imagination.

An ill-fated decision to grow 200 marijuana plants in his garage. Raising three children as a single parent (who happens to grow pot). Accepting personal accountability for his lot in life.

Book Synopsis The Picture Frame, and Other Stories by : Robert Drake
Download or read book The Picture Frame, and Other Stories written by Robert Drake and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book of stories -- most never before published -- Robert Drake has written his most poignant collection thus far. With the theme of the picture frame, Drake has included people, places, and events of a most recent past. "Crowded in the picture" are unforgettable images of memory and grace, love and remorse. But more than the characters and the subjects of the story, the draw of this collection is once again Drake's use of language. The language is the language of the South. It is the language of humanity. While the stories look back, they do so without regret. They were great times, but so is the present. From the town of Woodville to St. Mark's Square in Venice, Drake's powerful language draws the reader not only into the book, but also into the photographs.
Download or read book Short Shorts written by M. Gaston and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short stories are the fast food of literature, word-bites suitable for commuters, car poolers, subway riders and plane-hoppers. If you don't have time for "War and Peace" you can always find time for a short story. In these pages you will meet a depressed out-of-work sports writer, a young girl who discovers disturbing facts about her family's past, a homeless man leading a band of rebels in a strange quest, a man torn between two impossible choices, and two teenage girls caught in a hilarious situation as they try to run a pet hotel, among others. Romance, suspense, humor, pathos, infidelity, suspense, surprise--it's all here. So buckle your seat belts, wherever you are, and prepare yourself for lots of unusual twists and turns. Read one story on your lunch hour, read one sitting on the beach, read one in bed right before you turn off the light. Each story will give you something to think about, entertain you, and leave you (hopefully) wishing it was an entire novel. (Sometimes a "side dish" is better than the entree).

As the consequences of failure become dire, he has few leads, and the clock is ticking. Only with the help of his friend Maggie—an ancient djinn with a complex past—can he hope to recover the stolen property, save the world, and just maybe wring a favor out of the Great Constant himself.

The author helps parents and educators of the present age to transform with renewed understanding and expanded paradigms of parenting a genius; the child! The author offers solutions that work and empowers parents to enable the child and remove the label given to the child by combining personal growth methods with innovative parenting techniques of the present era. It gives in-depth information regarding the development of the child and prepares parents and the child to transition smoothly into preschool with the most effective, practical, and workable separation guidelines. The guidelines help parents effectively communicate positive enforcements over the limiting negative emotions to transform the child into a fearless, yet a sensitive and a complete super-being.
