Book Description
A note from the author: "Writing is a solitary and often scary enterprise. I alone have heard your silent screams, so I have written this book to help you achieve what everyone who has the courage to live the creative life deserves: complete, utter, slavish adoration and worship. Also: incalculable wealth that insulates you from the concerns of ordinary people." &break;&break;And there you have it. Fondling Your Muse is John Warner's innovative and slightly insane book of instruction for those who want to write, and those who think they already can. It's packed with quirky (possibly deranged) advice guaranteed to make you laugh out loud in the most embarrassing fashion possible. You know what we mean. It also includes a special chapter entitled "Everything Stephen King Knows About Writing Successfully: Plus Some Things I Know That He Doesn't Because He Isn't That Special." No other book currently available has this chapter! &break;&break;And Fondling Your Muse provides the kind of wise, insightful guidance that's missing from all of those self-serious, mind-numbingly awful books that promise riches and fame by writing only 20 minutes a day. &break;&break;Let's say you're looking for a tried-and-true recipe for literary success. Warner reveals all of the best ones, including these succulent concoctions: &break;&break; Contemporary Romance Quiche al la Nicholas Sparks ("Tasty with a side of hackneyed potatoes.") &break; Tom Clancy Techno-Thriller Surprise ("Preparation is usually subcontracted to others.")&break; Chick-Lit Cacciatore ("Satisfies many, every single time. I can't explain how either.")&break; Harlequin Romance Salad ("Thoroughly rip bodices, pound prose until purple, and combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.")&break; John Grisham's Legal Thriller Stew ("Boil in pot until ingredients bubble over line of believability.")&break; Contemporary American Literary Fiction Flambe ("Served in smaller and smaller quantities as the years go by.") &break;&break;It doesn't get any better than that. So go ahead - get Fondling today!

Book Description
A pot roast left unguarded. An open bedroom door. An ill-timed squat. Dogs seem to have impeccable timing. Yet how quickly calamity turns to comedy in the company of a dog, and the wrong moment turns out to be just the right one. In this delightful follow-up to Dog Is My Co-Pilot, which won the Best Book of the Year award from the Dog Writers Association of America, the editors of The Bark bring together more stories, essays, and artwork that highlight the hilarity of dog behavior and the comical interactions between dog people and their four-legged friends. From playful puppies who wreak havoc in the home to dogs with a whole array of comic shticks and tricks, Howl celebrates the verve and the laughs pets offer their people. It includes laugh-out-loud reflections (and confessions), rib-tickling tales, and whimsical vignettes from well-known writers such as: • Dave Barry • Margaret Cho • Al Franken • Kinky Friedman • Pam Houston • Haven Kimmel • Neal Pollack • And many more!

Author: John Donne Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA ISBN: 9780192840417 Category : English poetry Languages : en Pages : 532
Book Description
This authoritative edition was formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Donne's poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by rarely published letters and extracts from Donne'ssermons - to give the essence of his work and thinking. John Donne (1572-1631) is today celebrated as one of the greatest of the metaphysical poets, whose verse was daringly original and whose use of imagery and conceits marked a new, intellectual approach to poetry. His Satires, Elegies, and Songs and Sonnets, which contain his most famous love poems,were complemented by his religious writing, both verse and prose. He was one of the most renowned preachers of his day, and this volume does equal justice to the full range of his work. In addition to nearly all his English poetry this volume includes over 130 extracts from Donne's sermons, aswell as the full text of his last sermon, 'Death's Duel'. A distinguishing feature of the selection is that the works are arranged in the chronological order of their composition.

Book Description
Hi, I'm Drew. Welcome to my book. The hidden sub-sub-title is "Drawings I made while I was supposed to be working." These cartoons are drawn just as poorly as the ones in The New Yorker, except they are actually hilarious. I drew these cartoons while hiding in an empty cubicle in a giant beige building in the middle of a giant beige office park. See, you and I are like soldiers fighting on the battlefield of boring, since I am sure you have some sort of job too. This book is small enough to hide in your briefcase or pocket. I will award you the beige heart, the official office-slacker badge of bravery. So, just go buy the book. Give a lopsided head dude something to eat. For the price of six fancy cups of coffee, you can make a difference. Do it today.
