This early work by H. H. Munro was originally published in 1911. 'The Chronicles of Clovis' is a collection of short stories, including 'The Great Weep', 'Tobermory', 'Adrian', and many more. Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, Burma in 1870. He was raised by aunts in North Devon, England, before returning to Burma in his early twenties to join the Colonial Burmese Military Police. Later, Munro returned once more to England, where he embarked on his career as a journalist, becoming well-known for his satirical 'Alice in Westminster' political sketches, which appeared in the Westminster Gazette. Arguably better-remembered by his pen name, 'Saki', Munro is now considered a master of the short story, with tales such as 'The Open Window' regarded as examples of the form at its finest.Hector Hugh Munro (18 December 1870 - 14 November 1916), better known by the pen name Saki, and also frequently as H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose stories satirize Edwardian society and culture.

I will take you from the first restriction to the years beyond, vividly portraying my battle with addiction and disordered eating."Written with candor and humor, Victoria's story is a heartfelt attack on one of the major problems in modern society: diet culture.

MOTHERS and OTHERSA Story Collection by Kimbeth Wehrli JudgeThese eight stories share a theme of families living their lives as well as they can, who value their days as educational and often humorous works-in-progress.The Five L's of Living Well is told by a middle-aged daughter, who attempts to protect her aging, self-absorbed, independent and quirky mother from herself. Flashbacks allow a glimpse of their lovingly difficult relationship as conclusions are drawn one insightful day.The Car Ride is a story about two young mothers coping with an eight-hour drive with their two seven-year-olds to visit a mutual best friend. The difference in parenting becomes clear and continues to be problematic as events unfold inside the car.Graduation Day is fondly told by Helen Clark's husband of 32 years, Steven, who recalls their flirtatiously platonic, purposefully abstinent, yearlong courtship climaxing with lustful sexuality and their decision to spend the rest of their lives together. Target Practice is told by the much younger daughter of a family of six. She recalls the day when she was twelve and her older married sister was baptized. She gives the reactions of her protective big brother, their pessimistic father, a lapsed Catholic, and their optimistic mother, concerned about religious hypocrisy. She tells how the kids, who were raised with loving honesty but without organized religion, gradually chose their own, and how her other sister brought those ideals to a dramatic head on that celebratory eve.Me and My POM is told by the adult godchild of a cantankerous 86-year-old female Marine whom she is trying to guide through the depression of being moved to an old people's home followed by the hysteria of her car privileges being taken away. She nicknames her godmother POM, for 'Pissed Off Marine'.How I Spent My Summer is a first person account of a mid-life female addicted to a pain killer wrongfully prescribed by her physician, who checks her into a local rehabilitation center, but then is called away because of a family emergency. Left on her own, with no personal doctor to manage her case, she describes the center's mismanagement in all its irony, using sarcasm to get through the ordeal that culminates with the heartbreak of her last assigned roommate.These Things Happen is told by the wife of a couple who decide to avoid going into a rest home in their later years by preemptively hiring an interior designer to set up their condominium for the safe simplicity of old age. Charles turns out to be less and more than they expected or ever would have chosen as they slog through over two years of unforeseen expense and upheaval in their buttoned down lives.Way To Go is a description of a utopian mansion carefully developed and maintained to house sixty healthy 80-year-old-and-older citizens in a pleasing and stimulating atmosphere, run by playfully pragmatic eccentrics.

These poems are all based on actual happenings or real questions that have come up in the life of Virginia Constant Freeze. They vary from humorous ones such as the little girl explaining why she can't sit still when she is listening to music to more serious ones like the one explaining that a password is required for almost everything you do. Is it necessary to have a unique one to enter heaven?

The watercolor creatures in the book, "I Can", by Dr. Marie Ramos, reveal diversity in art, while also reflecting her humorous personality, entertaining all age groups.

19-årige Victoria Schapiro fortæller råt for usødet om livet med en spiseforstyrrelse som ung dansk generation Z'er i denne ærlige, skræmmende, men også morsomme selvbiografi-møder-selvhjælpsbog.F*CK RESTRICTIONS – AND YOUR MOM TOO er en fortælling om kærester, sex, trænings-narkomani, afhængighed, frihed og håb. Det er historien om, hvordan Victoria blev fanget i sit eget liv, og hvordan hun – omsider – slap ud igen."Jeg var fjorten, da jeg udviklede en spiseforstyrrelse. Dårlige relationer, hormonel overload, min mors Botox-besættelse og kunstige bryster på sociale medier fuckede mit hoved op og gav mig angst, lavt selvværd og stress. Det resulterede i, at jeg begyndte at kontrollere min mad. Denne bog fortæller om min rejse – fra den første uskyldige slankekur til nonstop sult, selvpineri og sammenbrud – og vejen tilbage igen takket være professional hjælp."Fortalt med vid, bid og selvudleverende humor, er det Victorias håb, at hendes historie kan være et wakeupcall i forhold til diætkulturen, som med sociale medier er blevet et ræs mod afgrunden, der koster liv.Bogen udkommer både i en dansk og engelsk version, idet Victoria skrev det oprindelige manuskript på engelsk."En stærkt personlig, velskrevet, gribende, underholdende og klog bog ... En af den slags udgivelser, man ikke vidste, at man savnede ... Et lille fuldendt værk." ★★★★★ Berlingske

"You are NOT funny!" she claimed, falsely.Nuns with Shotguns, Vol II of THE WORLD IS MY ASHTRAY, picks up where Pepperoni, Jalapeños & LSD left off. Paul and Lonnie disappear into a Rocky Mountain ghost town to decompress from a manic year in Boulder, Colorado. The town of Eldora is spectacular, serene, virtually uninhabited. Perhaps a hundred hermits are scattered throughout the mountain valley, cleaning their guns and guarding their bongs. Now twenty years old and even more determined to write his way to financial freedom, Paul hunkers down at his typewriter in his new, idyllic setting and begins banging out his first novel, helped/hindered by his numerous vices. "The liquid acid I'd taken to celebrate having liquid acid rolled clean and strong..." Full of Budweiser, hallucinogens, and a young man's lust, Paul cannot resist the temptation of the larger, manic world. Before long, he's relentlessly chasing new women, blasting through the mountains on his motorcycle, and tripping acid on the mountain peaks surrounding the Eldora valley. Wedding weirdness, stunning sunsets, puppy poop, brutal loss, hard drugs, continuous betrayal, and strange mountain saloons punctuate this continuation of P. H. Mountain's whirlwind comedic memoir. Set against the backdrop of the final decade before the tech revolution, Nuns with Shotguns is a full embrace of reckless living, an unapologetic testament to the stunning beauty of attacking life with the throttle open and arms spread wide. "I knew I had to die, dammit, but since I had to die, I decided there could be no better moment to do so, and the intense awareness of perfect death made me suddenly fall madly in love with life. The moon, the night, the cold sting of mountain air, a madman at the wheel, his wailing scream penetrating nature's wildly illuminated darkness. Damn. It was worth it, enduring all this long life, all the hidden terrors just over the horizon, the heartache and heartbreak, the hard work and easily achieved misery, if only for ten minutes as such."

Laughter keeps us sane-which is the first reason to laugh at the lunacies of living. Among the many other reasons are:Competent Computer Help: Technical Support: "And what is your problem?" Me: "My computer will not boot up when I turn it on." Technical Support: "So? Don't turn it on."Witty Husbands: We passed a billboard that advertised a package of Winston cigarettes with the slogan: "Finally, A Butt You Can Kiss." Doug said thoughtfully, "If I were the Cancer Society, I would rent the other side of that billboard and put up a sign that said, "Smoke These, And You Can Kiss Your Butt Goodbye."Roommates Who Won't Take Along Provisions: My roommate refused to take along a box meal because a box meal wasn't "cool." Now . . . we were headed into the Rockies, which are reasonably well known as a vast wilderness where people have perished for lack of food or stayed alive only by eating each other.Motels: We cruised slowly past the other two-the shabby, single-story, strip kind where you park your car directly in front of your room's door, either to keep a suspicious eye on it or for a quick getaway when the cops show up. The first motel was an ancient, grungy building, particularly uninviting, and the second, even grubbier, had assembled four rough-hewn guys in the parking lot with the promising look of those who would wake us up at two a.m. to the sounds of them breaking beer bottles over each other's heads. Also: Deranged neighbors, sadistic physical education teachers, oblivious military officers, children who have seen way too much, bad dates, friendly bikers, backwoods roadside assistance, camping, sailors and seasickness, and dogs with overflowing bladders.

The Western literary tradition begins with ancient Greek and Roman epics, winds its way through Milton, Shakespeare, and Dickens, and to where we find it today, a rich and beautiful catalog of the human experience. But to read all of that is just so much, well, reading, and who has the time or the energy? Lance Hansen does, and he's successfully combined an encyclopedic knowledge of literature with pithy criticism, the skills of a poet, and the artistic eye of a cartoonist to create Limerature 101: Literary Classics in Five Lines or Less (With Pictures). Presenting more than 60 of the great works of literature, summarized and satirized as jaunty, hilarious limericks, and with accompanying illustrations of their legendary creators.Presented as the text of a full-year university-level literature course, Limerature 101 takes readers on an informative but savagely humorous journey through the history of literature. The well-read and literarily curious will devour Hansen's takes on "Ancient and Influential Voices" (The Epic of Gilgamesh, Pride and Prejudice), "Titans of Global Literature" (The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Unbearable Lightness of Being), "American Revolutionaries" (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Catch-22), and "Modernists and Populists" (The Crying of Lot 49, Gone Girl). And each limerick is accompanied with an original, hand-drawn portrait by the author.ADVANCED PRAISE"A clever and funny read. Lance Hansen is a treasure!" --Noah Van Scriver"This book is smart, clever and funny - all the things I am not. I hate Lance Hansen!" --John Ficarra"Charming and hilarious." --Barry Blitt"Lance Hansen has created a wonderfully entertaining book of limericks. His insightfully clever poems accompanied by elegant line portraits makes this truly a feast for lovers of literature and drawing." --Joe Ciardiello"Love great literature, but hate all those goddamn words? With Limerature 101, Lance Hansen has your back." --Michael Gerber, Editor, The American Bystander

September 2023 der Bonner Sommer sich in seinem schönsten Kleid zeigt und die Sonne bei 30 Grad hell strahlend über dem alten Rathaus am Marktplatz ihr Bestes gibt, verdunkelt plötzlich ein langer Schatten das Bonner Brauhaus.

In Mummery, all the world's a stage. Historically, mummery requires silence, but on the stage crafted by Maura Way, nothing goes unsaid. Poem after poem presents a speaker unafraid to dissect the performance of a life in which every familiar story is rendered the strangest adventure. (Christopher Shipman) These poems are wise, genial, witty, and sharp as acid rain. They sing hard through American heartache. (Catherine Wagner) We're lucky when a poet's sense of humor merges with old-soul wisdom . . . . This poet, who, she avows, has "seen clowns from / both sides now." (Janet Holmes)
