Book Description
A daring expose of the systemic war on women in the United States. Shows how systems and clubs organized by and for men have crippled the lives of the middle-class, women, children, and the less advantaged in our society - either deliberately or because "That's the way the game is played!" Provides a lesson for all of us, especially women and "enlightened" men, as we try to cast off the old ways of doing business. In a style of American songwriter and humorist Kinky Friedman, the author covers issues seldom put into print with intelligence, humor and wit and candor that is both refreshing and entertaining. She covers a period of significant social and economic change in a unique fashion and shows how the Greedy Old Bastards are able to maintain the status quo and feed their insatiable appetites for power and wealth, even when their practices harm our country, our environment, and our people. Learn what it takes for a woman to maintain her sanity in their corrupt man's world. Topics not to miss are: The military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, and the plastic surgery industrial complex.

Book Description
Half orc. All badass. A female chieftain in a brutal wasteland society fights to take what is hers in an action-packed, foul-mouthed fantasy adventure from the author of The Grey Bastards (“Nonstop action, though not for faint hearts.”—The Wall Street Journal). Fetching was once the only female rider in the Lot Lands. Now she is the proud leader of her own hoof, a band of loyal half-orcs sworn to her command. But in the year since she became chief, the Lots have tested her strength to the breaking point. The Bastards are scattered, desperate, their ranks weakened by a mysterious famine, their fortress reduced to smoldering slag. And their troubles are only growing. A pack of ravening beasts circles their camp, while grasping human nobles hatch a plan that will shift the balance of power in the Lots. Fetch and her comrades are still standing defiant—they’re Bastards, after all—but even the toughest half-orc can take only so much; and Fetch knows they’re on the verge of ruin. As she strives to lead her hoof to safety and unravel the plots set against them, Fetching must journey through forbidden elven lands, overcome long-standing hatreds, battle a monstrous wizard of terrifying power—and, worst of all, delve into the dark truths of her own existence. She’s no stranger to fighting the world, but on this journey, sharp steel and a strong hog won’t be enough. To survive these trials, she’ll have to defy not just her foes but the very nature of the Lots. The True Bastards is the sweeping, ambitious second entry in the Lot Lands series, an irresistibly thrilling, gritty, foul-mouthed adventure that deepens, expands—and again upends—the Bastards’ unforgettable world. Advance praise for The True Bastards “[An] action-packed sequel . . . the story is filled with relentless action and powered by a cast of adeptly developed and emotionally appealing characters. . . . Fans will be overjoyed not only with the return of some beloved characters, but also with the novel's conclusion, which sets up the storyline for a much larger adventure to come. Imagine an outlaw biker gang of half-orcs riding giant war pigs and you've captured this saga's gloriously dirty soul.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Chapter 63: Dai Mao The maid contacted the assassin and two days later brought a response to Ta Dao. "Miss, please send your servant to contact the assassin. There is news." The maid stood in front of Ta Dao, with no joy on her face after completing the assigned task, only anxiety and fear. "What did they say over there?" "The contact said that there are no assassins in the capital." "What does that mean?!" Ta Dao's hand trembled, almost smudging her eyebrows. She put down the brush, expressionlessly said, "They don't want to accept?" "A few months ago, there were several assassination incidents in the capital. The court ordered a thorough investigation.

Book Description
A survey of the quirks and quandaries of the English language, focusing on our strange and wonderful grammar Why do we say “I am reading a catalog” instead of “I read a catalog”? Why do we say “do” at all? Is the way we speak a reflection of our cultural values? Delving into these provocative topics and more, Our Magnificent Bastard Language distills hundreds of years of fascinating lore into one lively history. Covering such turning points as the little-known Celtic and Welsh influences on English, the impact of the Viking raids and the Norman Conquest, and the Germanic invasions that started it all during the fifth century ad, John McWhorter narrates this colorful evolution with vigor. Drawing on revolutionary genetic and linguistic research as well as a cache of remarkable trivia about the origins of English words and syntax patterns, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue ultimately demonstrates the arbitrary, maddening nature of English— and its ironic simplicity due to its role as a streamlined lingua franca during the early formation of Britain. This is the book that language aficionados worldwide have been waiting for (and no, it’s not a sin to end a sentence with a preposition).
