Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime–unless it kills them first. Or throws them through time, converts them to a soul-sucking, dimension-hopping sorcerer, or simply obliterates them at a sub-atomic level. In the eighteen stories that follow, half-orc bounty hunters merge with NAFTA regulations and aliens take much-needed coffee breaks. Do elves file TPS reports? Can a robot have a work-spouse? Add love, regret, friendship, the inevitable sternly worded HR email, and an arsenal of guns, death rays, explosives, necromancy, and… Santa Claus. Work gets weird when taking it offline requires structural sabotage and best practices include outsmarting The Devil. Refreshments will be served with a side of eldritch chaos. No experience unnecessary. Proactive dynamic self-starters wanted.

Download or read book Following the Equator written by Mark Twain and published by . This book was released on 1899 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As America's finest writer, Mark Twain could make entertaining reading -- and great literature -- out of almost anything. Twain was practically bankrupt in 1894 due to investing heavily into ill-advised schemes. So, in 1895 at age 60, he undertook a two-year round-the-world lecture tour, in which he circumnavigated the globe via steamship, including stops at the Hawaiian Islands, Australia, Fiji Islands, New Zealand, India, South Africa and elsewhere. He describes a rich range of experiences -- visiting a leper colony in Hawaii, shark fishing in Australia, tiger hunting, diamond mining in South Africa, and riding the rails in India. The personalities of the ship's crew and passengers, the poetry of Australian place-names and the success of women's suffrage in New Zealand, among other topics, are the focus of his wry humor and redoubtable powers of observation. An evocative and highly unique American portrait of nineteenth-century travel and custom, this book has a serious thread running through it, recording Twain's observations of the mistreatments and miseries of mankind.

Book excerpt: Chuck Palahniuk’s world has always been, well, different from yours and mine. In his first collection of nonfiction, Chuck Palahniuk brings us into this world, and gives us a glimpse of what inspires his fiction. At the Rock Creek Lodge Testicle Festival in Missoula, Montana, average people perform public sex acts on an outdoor stage. In a mansion once occupied by The Rolling Stones, Marilyn Manson reads his own Tarot cards and talks sweetly to his beautiful actress girlfriend. Across the country, men build their own full-size castles and rocketships that will send them into space. Palahniuk himself experiments with steroids, works on an assembly line by day and as a hospice volunteer by night, and experiences the brutal murder of his father by a white supremacist. With this new direction, Chuck Palahniuk has proven he can do anything. BONUS: This ebook edition includes an excerpt from Chuck Palahniuk's Doomed.

Book excerpt: I have always been the kid in class who listened to who cracked jokes from the back row. While other students dreaded giving speeches, I eagerly volunteered, using the opportunity to test out my new voice with what I had written. I lived for that rush of adrenaline when a well-timed point hit and the room erupted in aww. For me, speaking in front of a crowd isn’t just about being heard - it’s a passion that runs deep. That’s why I recently started writing jokes and comedy sketches in my free time, carefully crafting monologues and witty dialogue. I’d perform scenes and routines for family and friends, heart racing as I worked to elicit the sweet, sweet sound of real laughter from my audience. Their reactions validated that desire burning inside me – I needed to write comedy as more than just a hobby. Over the years, I have refined my comedic voice through trial and error, failure and small wins. I’ve treasured each lesson learned about timing, delivery, and connecting with crowds. My notebook overfloweth with countless rejected jokes and unfinished sketches on every topic imaginable. But the gems that emerge and earn genuine, gut-busting laughs? Those make every crumpled up page worth it. I wrote this book to share my unique comedic perspective honed from years of study and practice. These hand picked selections of jokes, monologues, and sketches represent the best of my work - the content I know can generate real laughs because I’ve tested it myself on willing crowds. Consider this book a glimpse inside my brain, which swirls constantly with attempts to find humor in this crazy world we live in. It’s the guide I wished I had when I first ventured into comedy with nothing but a desire to bring levity into people’s lives. My hope is that these jokes not only make you laugh, but inspire you to look at the world through a more humorous lens. Now turn the page and get ready to laugh until it hurts!

Download or read book Stephen Kingäó»s Modern Macabre written by Patrick McAleer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Stephen King has continued to publish numerous works beyond one of the many high points of his career, in the 1980s, scholarship has not always kept up with his output. This volume presents 13 essays (12 brand new) on many of King’s recent writings that have not received the critical attention of his earlier works. This collection is grouped into three categories—“King in the World Around Us,” “Spotlight on The Dark Tower” and “Writing into the Millennium”; each examines an aspect of King’s contemporary canon that has yet to be analyzed.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Here is the Nobel Prize winner in her own words: a rich gathering of her most important essays and speeches, spanning four decades that "speaks to today’s social and political moment as directly as this morning’s headlines” (NPR). These pages give us her searing prayer for the dead of 9/11, her Nobel lecture on the power of language, her searching meditation on Martin Luther King Jr., her heart-wrenching eulogy for James Baldwin. She looks deeply into the fault lines of culture and freedom: the foreigner, female empowerment, the press, money, “black matter(s),” human rights, the artist in society, the Afro-American presence in American literature. And she turns her incisive critical eye to her own work (The Bluest Eye, Sula, Tar Baby, Jazz, Beloved, Paradise) and that of others. An essential collection from an essential writer, The Source of Self-Regard shines with the literary elegance, intellectual prowess, spiritual depth, and moral compass that have made Toni Morrison our most cherished and enduring voice.

Download or read book Out There written by Russell Ferguson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1992-02-11 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out There addresses the theme of cultural marginalization - the process whereby various groups are excluded from access to and participation in the dominant culture. It engages fundamental issues raised by attempts to define such concepts as mainstream, minority, and "other," and opens up new ways of thinking about culture and representation. All of the texts deal with questions of representation in the broadest sense, encompassing not just the visual but also the social and psychological aspects of cultural identity. Included are important theoretical writings by Homi Bhabha, Helene Cixous, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and Monique Wittig. Their work is juxtaposed with essays on more overtly personal themes, often autobiographical, by Gloria Anzaldua, Bell Hooks, and Richard Rodriguez, among others. This rich anthology brings together voices from many different marginalized groups - groups that are often isolated from each other as well as from the dominant culture. It joins issues of gender, race, sexual preference, and class in one forum but without imposing a false unity on the diverse cultures represented. Each piece in the book subtly changes the way every other piece is read. While several essays focus on specific issues in art, such as John Yau's piece on Wilfredo Lam in the Museum of Modern Art, or James Clifford's on collecting art, others draw from debates in literature, film, and critical theory to provide a much broader context than is usually found in work aimed at an art audience. Topics range from the functions of language to the role of public art in the city, from gay pornography to the meanings of black hair styles. Out There also includes essays by Rosalyn Deutsche, Richard Dyer, Kobena Mercer, Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Gerald Vizenor and Simon Watney, as well as by the editors. Copublished with the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York Distributed by The MIT Press.
