Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
When Varud completed reading the novel of his favourite author, he had the sudden urge to write a story from his life that had just passed by. His school life was ending and he knew the days which he enjoyed the most will never return again. He will never again wait ecstatically outside his house, eagerly waiting for the pool car to meet his friends. He will no longer carry his cricket bat to school on every Saturday. He will never have to worry and study for long hours before the exam. His commutes will be quiet and lonesome and no more made of laughters and happiness. He will fall in love again and maybe again, but he will miss the innocence of being in love for the first time. He will no longer be in that classroom, in the same clothes just like his friends and listening to his favourite teacher. Thus he decided to save the memories for a lifetime. Memories made of happiness, success, failure, rejections, friendship, agony and innocence.

Pages : 186
Book Description
When life is funny, make some jokes about it. Billy Plimpton has a big dream: to become a famous comedian when he grows up. He already knows a lot of jokes, but thinks he has one big problem standing in his way: his stutter. At first, Billy thinks the best way to deal with this is to . . . never say a word. That way, the kids in his new school won’t hear him stammer. But soon he finds out this is NOT the best way to deal with things. (For one thing, it’s very hard to tell a joke without getting a word out.) As Billy makes his way toward the spotlight, a lot of funny things (and some less funny things) happen to him. In the end, the whole school will know -- If you think you can hold Billy Plimpton back, be warned: The joke will soon be on you!

Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Max and Gretchen have just broken up after a tumultuous ten year relationship filled with several unique highs and devastating lows. Max, a recovering alcoholic and writer by trade, begins emailing Gretchen the day after they break up regaling her with stories of their past that made him think of her in an attempt to win her back, all the while ignoring Gretchen's request for space. Max can't seem to get himself together, while Gretchen flourishes with a new job, an active social life and supportive friends. Through a series of first person exchanges between Max and Gretchen that include emails, texts, Facebook updates and tweets that take place over the course of a year, the heart of their relationship comes to light and the reasons why they fell in love and the heartbreaking circumstances that led to their demise become devastatingly clear. As Max begins to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and once again finds his self-confidence and strength, Gretchen begins to sort through her past and begins rethinking some of the decisions she made regarding her relationship with Max. In an era where person-to-person conversations and talking over the phone have become a thing of the past, "This Made Me Think of You" is an honest look at how being so connected to each other, through so many different mediums, can lead to misunderstandings and at times lead us to give up the people we love most in the world.
