Going to the Last
Author: K D Knight
Publisher: Modest Publishing
ISBN: 1843961393
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
For too long the author considered himself a writer of racing fiction. It is a neglected market, with good reason. No fictional account, and certainly not the tawdry thrillers which constitute the niche genre, can ever come close to replicating the reality of the sport. Horse racing is the quintessence of drama, the story unfolding daily from every corner of the country, with guest appearances from Ireland, France and other countries when the sport here must draw breath. The cast of these short stories is drawn from all the cardinal points of society, from the aristocracy to rough diamonds, from the glamorous to the mucky boots of stable yards, to people who are quite simply the best human life can aspire to. And then there are the horses, the true stars, the species racing people put on a pedestal. Horse racing is tragedy and comedy. It is everything Shakespeare aspired to. In stories which embrace most strands of storytelling Going to the Last: Stories of Horses and Racing is a brave but foolhardy attempt to reflect the beautiful truth of a remarkable sport.

Not Cool
Author: Greg Gutfeld
Publisher: Crown Forum
ISBN: 0804138559
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Behind every awful, dangerous decision lurks one evil beast: the Cool. From politics to the personal, from fashion to food, from the campus to the locker room, the desire to be cool has infected all aspects of our lives. At its most harmless, it is annoying. At its worst, it is deadly, on a massive scale. The Cool are the termites of life, infiltrating every nook and cranny and destroying it from within. The Cool report the news, write the scripts, teach our children, run our government—and each day they pass judgment on those who don’t worship at the altar of their coolness. The cool fawn over terrorists, mock the military, and denigrate employers. They are, in short, awful people. From what we wear and what we eat, to what we smoke and who we poke, pop culture is crafted and manipulated by the cool and, to Greg Gutfeld, that's Not Cool. How do the cool enslave you? By convincing you that: - If you don't agree with them no one will like you. - If you don't follow them you will miss out on life. - If you don't listen to them you will die a lonely loser How do you vanquish the cool and discover your own true self? Read this book. In Not Cool, Greg Gutfeld, bestselling author of The Joy Of Hate, lays out the battle plan for reclaiming the real American ideal of cool--building businesses, protecting freedom at home and abroad, taking responsibility for your actions, and leaving other people alone to live as they damn well please. Not Cool fights back against the culture of phonies, elitists, and creeps who want your soul. It’s not a book, it’s a weapon—and one should be armed with it at all times.

Film Quotations
Author: Robert A. Nowlan
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 147662058X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 776
Book Description
Certain lines define a movie. Marlene Dietrich in Morocco: “Anyone who has faith in me is a sucker.” Too, there are lines that fit actor and character. Mae West in I’m No Angel: “I’m very quick in a slow way.” Jane Fonda in California Suite: “Fit? You think I look fit? What an awful shit you are. I look gorgeous.” From the classics to the grade–B slasher movies, over 11,000 quotes are arranged by over 900 subjects, like accidents, double entendres, eyes (and other body parts!), ice cream, luggage, parasites, and ugliness. Each quote gives the movie title, production company, year of release, speaker of the line, and, when appropriate, a comment putting the quote in context.
