The Physiology of Marriage
The Physiology of Marriage (1829) is a book length essay by French writer Honor矇 de Balzac. Written from the point of view of an author who has overheard scandalous conversations between two women, The Physiology of Marriage is both a critique of the institution of marriage and a satirical attempt to scientifically explain the cause and frequency of marital infidelity. The essay was an early success for Balzac, gaining him a reputation as a talented writer and creative critic of contemporary French society. The essay consists of a series of meditations that approach marriage through a variety of scientific, philosophical, and anecdotal methods. Arguing that marriage is an institution that runs counter to human nature, the author uses questionable mathematics to calculate the number of married women in France who are likely to seek out affairs in order to feel a passion denied to them. Describing the likely signs of marital infidelity-standoffishness, a change in dress, lack of romance-he claims that French men have grown far too accepting of their wives' affairs. Rather than reject the institution altogether-he sees it as integral to upholding the social order-the author suggests that young women be allowed a certain amount of freedom to explore their romantic inclinations and to prepare themselves for the banality of married life. The Physiology of Marriage finds satire in treating seriously and scientifically the often hidden and always complex matters of the heart, as well as through its suggestion that women, not men, are to blame for the proliferation of infidelity in France. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Honor矇 de Balzac's The Physiology of Marriage is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

I Wish I Was Billy Collins
Part standup comedy, part painfully revealing self-exploration, this is a tender, heartbreaking, hilarious book of poems about the male condition in the 21st Century. These are poems to read and reread and then to read aloud to friends. Even nonplussed strangers will smile knowingly after being ushered into Pete McLaughlin's world, laughing at his manic, self-deprecating take on the grim horror of waking up to find yourself a divorced middle-aged dude living by yourself with a cat, one given to fits of projectile vomiting. The poems range from a riff on the yearning of an "Angry Prius" who just wants to get out in the fast lane, one time, and drive all-out "mercilessly tailgating all comers, / even senior citizens," to the revelations of "Middle Age," about being picked up by a woman in her sixties who "plays teasing, exploratory footsie beneath the tablecloth/her unblinking green-light eyes/locked mercilessly onto mine/she winks knowingly, her big toe somehow in my pocket now."

My hunch turned out to be correct, as I again heard the sound more clearly -a cat's meow!

Why has South Sudan Become
Professor Martin Marial Takpiny has joined the rank of the very few South Sudanese public figures who understand and appreciate the importance of their personal experiences in public life as a resource that can be shared. Among his South Sudanese peers, the author is likely to evoke in the reader a sense of vicarious "participation" in the narratives and events retold here, or a twinge of nostalgia or sadness as individual cases may dictate. As for the younger generation and posterity or readers from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds, some of the episodes will certainly provide them with first hand "report" from an eye-witness. This book is a welcomed contribution - to some extent - to the understanding of the social and political evolution of the society of South Sudan, the world's youngest and struggling nation. MARTIN MARIAL TAKPINY was born in 1940 in Yirol District of what is today the state of South Sudan. He received primary and secondary education in Tonj and Rumbek in Bahr el Ghazal Province. After teaching for years, Marial went to the American University in Beirut which awarded him bachelor and master degrees in education. Back home from the Levant, Martin Marial Takpiny became a secondary school teacher and later lectured on Education at the new University of Juba. At the close of the last century, he was promoted Associate Professor and Dean of the newly created University of Bahr el Ghazal, based in Wau, the region's capital. Between Sudan's civils wars - from 1955 to 1972 and from 1983 to 2005 - Martin Marial Takpiny ventured into politics during which time he was elected to the People's Regional Assembly, the legislature of self-governing Southern Region. He later served briefly as commissioner of his Lakes home province. As a school teacher and university lecturer, Martin Marial Takpiny has taught many students, some of them now among South Sudan's ruling elites - in politics, military, business, academia, medicine and the like. His former students include the late Dr John Garang, the late SPLM/A leader, James Wani Igga, South Sudan's Vice-President and numerous prominent public figures among his compatriots. Professor Martin Marial Takpiny is married to Susan Ajak Simon Ngong. They have six daughters and a son. Having partially lost his eyesight due to diabetes, he depends on audiobooks instead of reading, previously one of his favourite hobbies.

L-earn-ing Every Stroke
Leaving the classroom behind, an enthusiastic middle school teacher embarked upon a solo paddle circumnavigating the Florida peninsula -- 1,500 miles of the romanticized Florida coastline called to his adventurous spirit.

The Curse of the Square Crow
In this book of illustrated humorous verse, we take up the challenge of throwing some light on a few possibly puzzling phenomena encountered in real life, though how much light is hard to say. We must hope that others will in the future improve upon our efforts. For example, why do dogs so often delight in snapping wasps out of the air? How hungry can they be? The reason we have arrived at will astound you. There again, what is a completely novel way to win a cooking competition - even if you can't cook? It's all here.Have you thought about handbags recently? Why are they so often made from crocodile hide? We wonder about this.Apart from all this, would you like to find a way to make the summer longer and the winter shorter? Thought so! We show how to do it.There are so many other subjects, including advice on how best to cheer up an octopus that has been insulted, and an investigation on alternative meanings of various sayings, such as: 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away'. This one could be a real lifesaver!A question uppermost in many people's minds is whether reincarnation is a real possibility. We have made some small progress here perhaps.All these things and many more are considered, but the book is not intended primarily for children. All humans would benefit in some way from the homespun wisdom that is on offer here, and if their English is not as good as their French, there are explanations of the poems in French as well, though the poems are in English of course. In all, there are 33 poems in rhyming verse, each with an excellent illustration in full colour by Reine Mazoyer. What's not to like - as they say nowadays?
Frumpy Middle-Aged Mom

For nearly two decades, in the Orange County Register and many syndicated papers, readers have delighted in Marla Jo's subversive humor, cranky intellect, and huge heart on her journey through broke, single, after-40 motherhood, when she adopted Cheetah Boy and Curly Girl, to her oddball adventures around the globe, to the sublime ridiculousness of life next door. Even while facing a devastating diagnosis, Fisher teaches us that humor is the balm that eases and the very thing that binds us together.

No One Asked for This
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. From writer/director Cazzie David comes a series of acerbic, darkly funny essays about anxiety, social media, misanthropy, and growing up in a wildly eccentric family.For Cazzie David, the world is one big trap door leading to death and despair and social phobia. From shame spirals caused by hookups to panic attacks about being alive and everyone else having to be alive too, David chronicles her life's most chaotic moments with wit, bleak humor, and a mega-dose of self-awareness. In No One Asked for This, David provides readers with a singular but ultimately relatable tour through her mind, as she explores existential anxiety, family dynamics, and the utterly modern dilemma of having your breakup displayed on the Internet. With pitch-black humor resonant of her father, comedy legend Larry David, and topics that speak uniquely to generational malaise, No One Asked for This is the perfect companion for when you don't really want a companion."Blisteringly honest...kind of like if a David Sedaris book was written by an anxiety-ridden millennial who grew up in Hollywood."--Entertainment Weekly "Cazzie David is the delicious antidote to the poison of basic influencer culture. This book will make all misanthropes feel seen and loved--well, seen and tolerated."--Diablo Cody, screenwriter and author of Candy Girl

The Best of Me
"Genius ... It is miraculous to read these pieces ... You must read The Best of Me." --Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times Book Review For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing. Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler's lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say "give it to me" in five languages, and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird. But if all you expect to find in Sedaris's work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. Here, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms--at long last--with the other. Full of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that led Time Out New York to call David Sedaris "the funniest man alive", The Best of Me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing--quite often at himself--and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time. "If you're looking for some comic relief, look no further than David Sedaris." ―NPR A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A CNN and Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Month​

Burnt Suits and Shredded Ties
Well hello to you my new reader friend! I can only assume your perusal of this section is to help you decide whether this book is worth reading. Right, do settle down and let me tell you about my book. Okay, so, what had happened was, after a burnout in the summer of 2018 at the age of 28, I quit my corporate job as an accountant to fulfill a lifelong dream of taking a travel sabbatical. This book follows my backpacking adventures over a six-month period, between Portugal, Miami, South America and Mexico. Between attempting to save a life in the middle of the night in the Azores, hairy encounters in Colombia, wild nights in Miami and Mexico, struggling to stay sane in hostel dorms full of randy energetic youths, and meeting weird and wonderful people whose stories I share in the book, there is bound to be something you will laugh about as well as things you may strongly relate to. If you're looking for a lighthearted, chatty and humorous adventure book, then you, my dear friend, are in luck. Aside from the occasional bursts of laughter, I hope this book can inspire you to examine what work and life balance means to you, and encourage you to also fulfill whatever lifelong ambition or dream you have. A career is a marathon, not a sprint, and it's okay to occasionally press pause and recharge while figuring out your next move.
Knee-deep in Pandemia
What we have collected here is Kurt's very last artistic achievement: his own personal response to the COVID-19 pandemic through a series of surrealistic pen-and-ink illustrations. We have arranged them by date. Even when working within the confines of the Coronavirus lockdown in Chicago, Kurt found a creative way to respond to the pandemic with wit, playfulness, pointed satire, and mordant humor. The setting, of course, is the world of 2020, but the fashion of choice is the mask of the 17th century physician.

Nappy-Headed Negro Syndrome
It's here: the book that shows you how to talk about race without talking about race. Satirical observations on identity, judgment, and assumptions and unconscious bias. Nappy-Headed Negro Syndrome is a humorous view of contemporary American urban reality from the unique perspective of a Detroit newspaper columnist and copy editor-turned-cab driver--and after the laughter comes the weeping. For example, Oneita is at a party having a polite conversation with a stranger who thinks Oneita said, 'I'm a nigger' instead of 'l'm a knitter.' Oneita is a master at handling awkward situations and Nappy-Headed Negro Syndrome is a handbook to etiquette in the racially charged 21st Century.

The Art of Invention
The art of invention and designEverything is invented and designed, one way or another. Some objects are designed well, while others are not; some are designed pretentiously, others unassumingly; some are designed to optimize materials and techniques, while others are wasteful. While some objects naturally attract our attention for their extraordinary character and desirability - an eccentric and expensive pair of sneakers, for instance, or a gleaming sports car - many others are so apparently ordinary as to go unnoticed. Every day we use dozens of them, from elastic bands to Band-Aids, erasers, and mascara wands. If they work well, chances are we won't pay them much attention. However, in spite of their modest price and demure presence, some of these things are true masterpieces of the art of design and deserve our unconditional admiration.Are all inventions essential or useful?Space has its urban legends of course, and the Million Dollar Space Pen is one of the more enduring ones. It is neither as outlandish nor as unbelievable as the story about faking the Moon landings, and even though it seems more credible than a massive government conspiracy, it is probable that fewer people have heard it.The story goes like this: in the 1960s, NASA astronauts discovered that their pens did not work in zero gravity. So like good engineers, they went to work and designed a wonder, million dollar pen. It worked upside down. It worked in vacuum. It worked in zero gravity. It even worked underwater! And it only cost a million dollars!At the same time, the Russians were ramping up their efforts to conquer space before the Americans, and they also realized that their normal pens did not work in space...So the crafty Russians used a pencil...Every now and then, people have ideas. Some of them are "Eureka" moments, a sudden illumination. A flash of imagination that drives progress forward. And often a patent is needed... A patent is defined as "a government authority or licence conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention".Basically, in layman's terms, "I have to protect this before someone else has the idea and steals it from me !!!".Anything, from glasses for chickens, dog umbrellas, breast-shaped pillows to rooster-shaped airplanes can be patented, and has been. Here is a collection of some of the funniest, most ridiculous or even absurd patents deposed since the 31st of July 1790, when Samuel Hopkins was issued the world's first patent for a process of making potash, an ingredient used in fertilizer.

The Days Are Long, But the Years Are Short
Blink and they'll be grown. As new parents, the words of older, wiser parents don't make a bit of sense. Blink and they'll be grown? We blinked and three toilet paper rolls disappeared down the flusher, and now there's sewage water flooding the bathroom. We blinked and three pounds of apples mysteriously disappeared, and no one's responsible. We blinked and someone drew hieroglyphics all over the living room wall with a permanent marker. We blinked and...oh. They're grown. Examining the phenomenon of one day that can last sixty-seven hours and one year passing in the blink of an eye, Rachel once again opens up the doors to her home and her family and shares what it means to parent growing and changing children. With the wit and hilarity readers have come to expect, she examines the laughable challenges facing parents at practically every turn of a kid's life; highlights rites of passage like The Funk and a parent's fall from "The Cool Club"; and details the many different personalities kids assume in their day-to-day, year-to-year lives-from listening personalities to sleeping personalities. But every essay collected within these pages keeps its eye on a sometimes subtle, sometimes overt truth: one day, sooner than we can even imagine, they'll grow up. The Days Are Long, But the Years Are Short includes humorous essays like: The Speaking Personalities of Children How to Misuse LEGOs: a Generous Guide How to Leave the House With Kids: a 5-Step, Foolproof Plan The Subjectively Fun Games Boys Play The Never-Ending Nuances of Rule-Making for Kids Sometimes I Want to Change My Name Co-Parenting: a Tale of Inconsistency and Chaos The Day I Stopped Eating Food Where Kids Could See It and many more. Hailed as "The Erma Bombeck of a new parenting generation," Rachel's sixth full-length book of humor essays is, at its heart, a celebration of the madness that is parenting-every moment that drags on and on and on, every year that flies away faster than a kid who knows he's in trouble. Rachel is the wife of one man and the mother of six sons who daily give her inspiration for comical essays. Her work can often be found on Huff Post Parents, Scary Mommy, Babble, Motherly, and Today's Parent. She lives with all her males in San Antonio, Texas.
Personas of a Project II
Personas of a Project II: Ennoblement of the DiaryBy: J. Wiggins AKA Official Personas of a Project II is a book of poems, quotes to live by, AOLs (Analogies of Life), and illustrations that encompasses Official's life and imagination in an artistically and purposely designed manner, or as he puts it in one of the enclosed pieces, "It's like an intricate exhibit astronomically presented in a manner exquisite by my nature as intended."The subtitle of this book, "Ennoblement of the Diary," symbolizes a rise to noble rank, an upgrade, so to speak. This book is a testament to that statement as far as his writing and understanding of life. About the AuthorJ. Wiggins aka Official obtained his B.A. in business communication (with a minor in psychology) from Bryant University. He completed active duty service to his country as an Avionics Tech. for the United States Marine Corps, and he also obtained his BSCJ (concentration in Law Enforcement) from AIU Online. He is currently a police officer in NY. Lastly, I published my 2nd book (which you are reading now); a major personal accomplishment for me.Official may have made some advancement in his writing and in his personal life, but it doesn't change who he is. Our past prepares our present, which paves the way for our future, and no matter where a person goes in life, they should NEVER forget from where they came.
