Book Description
A smart, funny classic about a young and beautiful American woman who moves to Paris determined to live life to the fullest. The Dud Avocado follows the romantic and comedic adventures of a young American who heads overseas to conquer Paris in the late 1950s. Edith Wharton and Henry James wrote about the American girl abroad, but it was Elaine Dundy’s Sally Jay Gorce who told us what she was really thinking. Charming, sexy, and hilarious, The Dud Avocado gained instant cult status when it was first published and it remains a timeless portrait of a woman hell-bent on living. “I had to tell someone how much I enjoyed The Dud Avocado. It made me laugh, scream, and guffaw (which, incidentally, is a great name for a law firm).” –Groucho Marx "[The Dud Avocado] is one of the best novels about growing up fast..." -The Guardian

Book Description
Author Benjamin Lorr wandered into a yoga studio—and fell down a rabbit hole Hell-Bent explores a fascinating, often surreal world at the extremes of American yoga. Benjamin Lorr walked into his first yoga studio on a whim, overweight and curious, and quickly found the yoga reinventing his life. He was studying Bikram Yoga (or "hot yoga") when a run-in with a master and competitive yoga champion led him into an obsessive subculture—a group of yogis for whom eight hours of practice a day in 110- degree heat was just the beginning. So begins a journey. Populated by athletic prodigies, wide-eyed celebrities, legitimate medical miracles, and predatory hucksters, it's a nation-spanning trip—from the jam-packed studios of New York to the athletic performance labs of the University of Oregon to the stage at the National Yoga Asana Championship, where Lorr competes for glory. The culmination of two years of research, and featuring hundreds of interviews with yogis, scientists, doctors, and scholars, Hell-Bent is a wild exploration. A look at the science behind a controversial practice, a story of greed, narcissism, and corruption, and a mind-bending tale of personal transformation, it is a book that will not only challenge your conception of yoga, but will change the way you view the fragile, inspirational limits of the human body itself.

Book Description
Greg Wilson would argue that broken branches could break minds and futures, and with some authority. But most things in life, even if broken by trees, can be repaired and occasionally improved upon; sometimes, even people can fit that mold. Once he gains the experience through his own emotional disintegration he becomes the focal point of amazing transformations. His mature caring allows him to help others, and in very unusual manner. His growth is slow and sometimes seemingly contradictory, from teacher and mentor to ranch-hand to sheepherder, and finally, back to teacher and mentor. Even in his darkest hours, he's storing and accumulating what's he learned. But in his brightest hours, he can cure broken minds and hearts with his inspirational strengths. It's in the latter persona that he draws a cluster of the most remarkable people each with their own story, their own contribution. And then there's the hauntingly chilling end of the story and "the voice." Those present then reach beyond any destination or experience any of them have ever visited with perhaps the exception of one the Navajo princess.
