I Will Stand in my House Forever is a must read for anyone who has already cycled, or is contemplating the challenge and includes daily maps, road and traffic conditions as well as the contour of the route.

Download or read book It Was Just, Yesterday written by Mirja Unge and published by Comma Press. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Unge can do a lot with a little.' - The Guardian, Best Short Stories of 2011. 'It Was Just, Yesterday is both atmospheric and menacing.' - The Manchester Review. 'Unge has an unusual and arresting style that is worthy of recognition. At times, there is real beauty in her writing which often showcases a deeply poetic style and thrusts you into an atmosphere, a world, or a conflict with ease and immediacy.' - Kate Kerrow, The Short Review On Christmas Eve, a girl stalks an older man through wintery city streets, haunted by their shared past... In a remote woodland cottage, an eccentric explains to his granddaughter why he shoots cats whenever they make themselves too comfortable... In a checkout queue, a woman suddenly shows charity to a penniless guy she apparently doesn’t know... The characters in Mirja Unge’s debut collection are all, in their own way, evading something; whether failing to confront the true nature of an encounter, or avoiding responsibilities as a parent, sibling or friend. Abuse, betrayal and neglect lurk beneath a veneer of mutually maintained ‘normality’, waiting for an opportunity to resurface. Told, in most cases, through the eyes of teenage girls or young women, these stories exhibit a unique prose style that perfectly captures the conversational rhythms, and preoccupations, of their generation. Unge’s soft, winding syntax ushers the reader across the surface of each encounter at an unalterable pace — like the ever-betraying passage of time — whilst deftly hinting at the violence beneath. ‘A breathtaking and intensive read, full of warmth, humour and darkness.’ — Moa Eriksson, Hallandsposten ‘Mirja Unge has once again convinced me that she is one of the most important writers in Sweden today.’ — Eva Hultin, Nerikes Allehanda

Book excerpt: Step-by-step tying sequences for dozens of new patternsHatch charts and extensive catalog of patternsNo one has studied midges more intently than Don Holbrook. For 25 years he has scoured the limestone streams of central Pennsylvania, gathering and cataloging specimens, studying them under the microscope, and creating patterns to match every nuance of color, structure, and size. No one is as adept at fishing midges as Ed Koch, who literally wrote the book on the subject. Holbrook and Koch here combine to present the definitive work on tying and fishing the tiny naturals with which you can catch trout virtually all year long.

Book excerpt: A mystery, lightly laced with humour, and with paranormal overtones that are misinterpreted until the end. The story is contemporary but would fall loosely into the fantasy genre due to the revelations of later chapters. After a miserable year following the loss of his wife, Tom Kerr has just started running again, hoping it will prove a better way of dealing with stress than drinking. This will bring him into contact with a living myth, who could be the answer to both his prayers and a fifty-year-old mystery that has just reared its ugly head amidst strange occurrences in the local woods.

Book excerpt: In these two “astonishing” novellas (The New Yorker), the Booker Prize-winning author of Possession returns to the landscape of Victorian England, where science and spiritualism are popular manias, and domestic decorum coexists with brutality and perversion. "At once quirky and deep, brimming with generosity, imagination, and intelligence." —The New Yorker In Morpho Eugenia, an explorer realises that the behaviour of the people around him is alarmingly similar to that of the insects he studies. In The Conjugal Angel, curious individuals – some fictional, others drawn from history – gather to connect with the spirit world. Throughout both, Byatt examines the eccentricities of the Victorian era, weaving fact and fiction, reality and romance, science and faith into a sumptuous, magical tapestry.

Download or read book Golf on the Rocks written by Gary Sutherland and published by Headline. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Sutherland was a lapsed golfer, until he acquired his late dad's putter. After studying a crumpled golf map of Scotland, Gary decided to embark on a voyage. His target was to play 18 rounds of golf on 18 Scottish islands in honour of his dad, a ship's captain who, when he wasn't at sea, was never off the golf course. His journey would take him from the Northern Isles to the Outer Hebrides. Playing in the Harris hail and Arran sunshine, he would encounter an odd variety of golfing hazards, including sheep on the tees, cows on the fairways and electric fences round the greens. This is golf in the raw - a million miles from St Andrews. It is a life-affirming tale of remembrance and discovery. It's about having a laugh and holding on to what's dear. And it's about a putter with magical properties. You can believe what you choose to, but it all happened...

Book excerpt: Could you sacrifice yourself for your brother? “Forest and McLean could well become one of my all-time favourite detective duos.” A predator is bringing terror to the underclasses of Stirling. Acting Detective Inspector Forest is the man leading the hunt. He wants it resolved quickly; as well as the law, he has a reputation to uphold, especially with Detective Sergeant Senga McLean. First Minister Jack Collie wants independence for Scotland. Superintendent Hargreaves wants Forest’s plumbs on a skewer. The killer wants victims. And much more! As the body count rises, the press is having a field day, and everyone is getting it in the neck. The First Minister needs to save the independence campaign and massage his ego. He has to act. The Superintendent needs Forest to fail and have normal order restored to the ranks. Action must be taken. Forest needs to catch the killer, stop the killings and get his girl. And he could murder a pint! But how do you stop a killer who knows your every move? How do you fight your own department? How do you sway public opinion? How do you get the girl? And how do you keep laughing in the face of increasing adversity? From the fans. "...a fast-moving rollercoaster of how police investigations actually happen. Can't wait for book 2..." "Gripping and funny." "...deliciously dark humour combined with an edginess that made for a fantastically fast- paced thriller..." Interview with the author. So why crime fiction? As a former UK police officer, police procedurals, mysteries and crime fiction were the obvious choices. I mean, who better to write thrillers about serial killers than someone who was in the life. As a cop, that is, not as a killer! What spurred you on to write? Well, there are many great British and Irish crime fiction writers, and the Scottish crime fiction market is burgeoning. As a boy, I was an avid reader. Mysteries and thrillers to begin with, before graduating on to crime fiction. When I eventually gave in to my burning desire to write, it was inevitable, given my police background, that detective fiction was the stand I’d hang my author’s hat on. How would you define your genre? Humorous Scottish crime fiction. There are a multitude of fantastic police procedurals out there, with a lot of focus on the actual police processes, and there’s a tendency to assume that murder fiction, noir crime, mysteries, thrillers, etc have to be serious books. But trust me, the reality is that murder detectives rely on their humour to get them through the day. Without it, they’d probably end up serial killers themselves. *The New Edited and Revised August 2020 Edition*

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is there no Native woman David Sedaris? Or Native Anne Lamott? Humor categories in publishing are packed with books by funny women and humorous sociocultural-political commentary—but no Native women. There are presumably more important concerns in Indian Country. More important than humor? Among the Diné/Navajo, a ceremony is held in honor of a baby’s first laugh. While the context is different, it nonetheless reminds us that laughter is precious, even sacred. Bury My Heart at Chuck E. Cheese’s is a powerful and compelling collection of Tiffany Midge’s musings on life, politics, and identity as a Native woman in America. Artfully blending sly humor, social commentary, and meditations on love and loss, Midge weaves short, stand-alone musings into a memoir that stares down colonialism while chastising hipsters for abusing pumpkin spice. She explains why she does not like pussy hats, mercilessly dismantles pretendians, and confesses her own struggles with white-bread privilege. Midge goes on to ponder Standing Rock, feminism, and a tweeting president, all while exploring her own complex identity and the loss of her mother. Employing humor as an act of resistance, these slices of life and matchless takes on urban-Indigenous identity disrupt the colonial narrative and provide commentary on popular culture, media, feminism, and the complications of identity, race, and politics.

Download or read book Trout Country written by Bob Saile and published by Pruett Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than 25 years as Outdoor Editor of the Denver Post, Bob Saile has countless opinions and stories to share on the allure and adventure of trout streams and fly fishing. He serves up a compelling collection, with most of the essays set in the West. This is trout country -- the fish, the flies, the people, and the places. In his essay "Heavy Hitters, " Saile recalls as a boy reading an article by Joe Brooks about catching a brown trout on southwestern Montana's Big Hole River. For Saile, it was as if he was there. He experienced landing the trout as well as feeling a kinship with the writer. You will get the same feeling reading this lively collection which takes the reader from the South Platte to the Gunnison to the Pacific Northwest and the wilds of Alaska. "The fight carries out into the main current and the brown jumps, in that wild absolutely reckless way that browns have early in the fight, and I see it is a rather modest-size fish, maybe 13 inches.It looks good, though. Really good. Moments later, I have its black-and-red spotted side flashing back at me in the glint of water-reflected sunlight, and I extract the fly from the top jaw and slide the fish out of my hand into the flow. The first surface-take trout of the summer is in the books, and this pleases me. The rest will be in the gravy category now. And I know there will be more t come, because the river and the day have that look, that feel." The essays range from describing a bracing morning of ice fishing in Colorado, to the thrill of stalking an Alaskan salmon, to thoughts on fish management and its attendant bureaucracy. In Saile's conversations with other anglers, some well known, some not, but all of whom teach the author something about fishing and himself. If you care about rivers, trout, salmon, steelhead and fishing in general,this veteran writer and angler makes for a fascinating companion. For Saile,"the core difference between those who don't fish and those of us who do is as simple as this: We who do fish are especially blessed."

Book excerpt: If you have ever fly-fished or wished you had, Stream Feathers is a must read book to experience the mystique of fly-fishing in the wild Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania. Something quite unexpected happens to those who fish downstream for two miles in the company of the naturalist, Hoxie. There are adventures and unexpected encounters with wildlife around each bend. All combined with the thrill of fighting a pugnacious trout. In a sequence of 16 episodes, each farther down stream from the other, we follow Hoxie in his valiant quest to catch a trout larger than his dads 24 inch Brown Trout. In the end -- through deep truths found -- beating his dads trout becomes inconsequential. Photographs and Haiku reveal Hoxies adventures and chance discoveries in each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have always loved riding my bike; having the freedom to go where I choose, at my own pace. . . the physical pleasure and satisfaction of a hard day's ride, the fresh air, the work out, the fact that it's free. The bike has always been how I get to places. I wanted to see how far I could get.For Anna, a cycling enthusiast, the decision to ride 4,000 miles solo around the coast of the UK wasn't that hard. Following the river from London until it became the sea, then following the sea until it reached the mouth of the Thames again was a beautifully simple idea. But after epic highs, incredible lows, unforgettable scenery, and unpronounceable place names—as well as a hearty battle with some good old British weather—her simple idea turns into a compelling journey of self-discovery, and an eye-opening insight into what makes the island where she lives so special.
