Inspiration Porn
Hilarious and bawdy musings on disability, sex, family, and Hollywood, from Emmy-winning writer and creator of the Netflix series Special.For years, Ryan O'Connell wished he was different. Raised in a small Southern California beach town described as "Laguna Beach with meth," his dad had taken off for greener pastures, and his alcoholic mom packed him lunches that wouldn't win any Top Chef: Quickfire challenges. On top of that, he had to be disabled and gay?! Luckily, Ryan always had a love for writing. There, he could "construct the narrative of my life before anyone can construct it for me." In essays that range from the poignant to the side-splitting, Ryan takes us along as he grapples with addiction, navigates the early days of writing for online media in NYC, and uses his voice to gain entrance into the cutthroat world of Hollywood, where he becomes a sought-after writer and creator. In other essays he asks the very important question: "Are Straight People Okay?" (short answer is no), explores the battle between your IRL vs URL identity, and ruminates on the healing power of being gay and on vacation. Finally, Ryan opens up his committed relationship and becomes a slut for the first time, keeping a diary of his sexual misadventures, and bravely healing his soul through his hole. In the tradition of writers like Samantha Irby and David Sedaris, INSPIRATION PORN is a candid and often raunchy look at a life lived without apologies.

Is Sex Necessary?
A sparkling literary spoof first published in 1929, Is Sex Necessary? is a sly, subversive response to the surge of earnest psychoanalytic sex manuals that flooded the American market in the Jazz Age. With mock-scholarly flair and deadpan absurdity, James Thurber and E. B. White dismantle the anxieties, theories, and taboos of modern romance-one ridiculous diagram at a time.This comedic collaboration marked the literary debut of both men, launching Thurber's career as America's master of neurotic whimsy and showcasing White's quiet genius for prose. Accompanied by Thurber's charmingly awkward line drawings, the book is a pitch-perfect send-up of both high-minded intellectualism and the fraught terrain of love and sex.Wickedly smart and delightfully inappropriate, Is Sex Necessary? remains one of the great comic gems of American letters-an irreverent tonic for the overly serious and an affectionate jab at our deepest, silliest questions.

Midas Living with a Bird in the Hood
Midas is an African gray parrot that was rescued in 2007. After posting some of our conversations on social media, many friends fell in love with the "cantankerous" old bird whose ability to be part of the conversation. He may be the cause of frustration one day but smiling about it the next because we live in the hood; we don't know what he is going to request or, should I say, demand at any given time. He has stopped us from arguing and made us laugh, left us wondering where he heard that from (as if we didn't know) and kept us in constant awe at his many phrases. There will only be one time when we cry because of Midas, which also means that the house will be very quiet. I hope that time doesn't happen for a very long time.

Of Birds and Words
Can you hear them calling? In Of Birds and Words forty bizarre birds in all their colorful plumage are waiting to tell you their stories. In this book, you will meet previously unknown owls, penguins, and many other fantastic birds born in the offbeat imagination of author Susan Bass Marcus. You'll find them in light-hearted poetry and fables with a nod to 19th Century illustrations of birds dressed like civilized humans offering social commentary. Of Birds and Words will introduce you to the cocoa snowcatcher, the golden irate, the artichoke bird, the crested daytripper, a bevy of repurposed terns, a fabulous Gerty bird, and more. The author is known for her fantasy novels, paranormal short stories, and a gentle humor book. This, her fifth work, plays with characters that are grouchy, aspiring, bored, mystical, magical, or just plain silly--all of them imaginary birds. Of Birds and Words includes a table of contents as well as a lexicon of invented Latin names (genus and species). Marcus drew and described each bird with idiosyncratic imagery and text. Her sympathies lie with the birds and with the hope that the reader will enjoy their antics.
The Last Lap
The Last Lap Retirement Village for Racing Whippets & "Trubulsom Porquapines" nestles in the village of Winklebutty, famed for its black truffles and stanky toe fungus outbreaks.When the Last National Winklebutty Bank threatens to foreclose on the property and send its canine residents to their doom in the factory owned by the evil Sausage Baron of Lumpy Bottom, Rocco Parmigiana, retired racing royalty Angeli Cup and her steed Destiny's Poo have only one option: limp right out of retirement.Can this unlikely duo race once more to win the most prestigious gong of them all-the Winklebutty Cup, complete with its victory stinky cheese?Standing in their way are age, incompetence, insolence, malfeasance, flatulence - and Rocco's nephew, Chad Cheerio, with his cheating cheetah Fate's Fur Art. It's the race that significantly slows a nation, and while 'there can be only one' winner, there can be as many losers as needed to fill the plot holes.Join the eccentric residents of The Last Lap as they attempt to rewrite the Winklebutty Bigbooty Museum and Burlesque Cabaret Restaurant's Big Book of Racing Records and smash through the fifth wall to face off with henchmen, henchwomen, henchshadows, and possibly even ... henchporcupines!- Editorial Reviews -5 STARSWhat I loved most about The Last Lap by AK McBalls was the way laughter and tension flowed together. Some scenes had me laughing, while others tightened with suspense, making me eager to see what might happen next. ... Angeli was the heart of the story for me. Her determination to hold on to the refuge pushed everything forward, and I liked how her strength sometimes slipped to reveal her fear. I cared about their struggles and wanted to stay with them until the end. The humor and chaos had me laughing, but the book also explores themes of betrayal, greed, loyalty, and the hope that pushes people on, even when the odds seem impossible. This gave the novel meaning without taking away its humor. I gladly recommend this book to readers who love a good laugh. - Georgia, Reader's Favorite5 STARSThe Last Lap is more than just a comedic story about a race to save a retirement home in a whimsical town; it offers a satirical take on a variety of social issues, conspiracy theories, and political commentary. The narrative dives into topics like corruption, police bias, alien abductions, and sports doping, among others. AK McBalls uses wordplay and frequently breaks the fourth wall, directly engaging with readers about Italian whippets and Winklebutty's history. ... The ending is particularly shocking, as it shifts from a plot focused on a wild race to a whodunit, making it highly engaging and suspenseful. Overall, this is an entertaining story and a must-read for anyone interested in unique tales that blend humor with social critique. Luwi Nyakansaila

Where's My Check?
Spoken Word Summaries for Wounded Warriors Here's your check! A lyrical mirror held up to power, pain, and perseverance. In this bold anthology, Carolyn Plummer Ayana delivers unflinching spoken word that gives voice to the wounded, the waiting, and the wide-awake. Her powerful rhythms and unapologetic truths explore the unchecked political forces and systemic failures that continue to erode justice, equity, and human dignity in today's America. These are not just poems-they are survival tools. Coping rhymes for those battling the weight of delayed promises and dismantled protections. They speak directly to the spirit of warriors-those bruised by bureaucracy, abandoned by leadership, or silenced by oppression. Blending biting critique with spiritual uplift, Ayana crafts each piece with the urgency of now, the wisdom of lived experience, and the fire of artistic revolution. Where's My Check? is a call to consciousness-and a check on a system long overdue for accountability.
