The Timeless Time Machine
The Timeless Time Machine is adult satirical literature featuring adult language and adult situations. The setting is London, England, 1899, at the turn of a new century, and the exciting advances of science and technology are dominant in the minds of people throughout the Western World. Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was born in England, and by the turn of the century, became one of the Founding Fathers of science fiction. Wells' most famous novels are The Time Machine, War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man, which were written and published between 1895 and 1905. H.G. Wells was a great student of history, and loved thinking about mankind's ultimate destiny. In his stories, H.G. Wells often tells through his characters what he believes is wrong with civilization, so that's why the author never ran out of characters for his popular novels. By mentally taking his readers into the future, Herbert George Wells skillfully demonstrates exactly where the human race would be evolving unless science, culture and emotional growth change their present courses. The Timeless Time Machine is a new adult-oriented satirical version of H.G. Wells' short classic novel, The Time Machine.

My fishcake and chips lay wrapped on the grass beneath the big elm tree by the far gate. The chip shop had a good reputation, but I was too nervous to think about eating. Humps 'n' Bumps Hilda put the last piece of saveloy into her mouth and got to her feet. I followed her and we stood face-to-face as she leaned back and hiked her skirt up with practised ease. I gulped, considered my options, and reached for my zip with trembling fingers. It was literally all over in a matter of seconds, and I think she must have got far more satisfaction from her saveloy than my clumsy and so brief performance.

Quietly Hostile will delight established fans and newcomers alike (Parade). "Brilliant and one of the funniest people I've ever read." --Roxane Gay - "The king of sparkling misanthropy and tender, loving dread." --Jia Tolentino "Absolutely hilarious.... If you are feeling down, or you feel like you haven't read anything you've loved in a long time, all you need is Samantha Irby.... She will make you laugh on every page." --Emma Straub, bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow, on The Today Show Samantha Irby's career has taken her to new heights. She dodges calls from Hollywood and flop sweats on the red carpet at premieres (well, one premiere). But nothing is ever as it seems online, where she can crop out all the ugly parts. Irby got a lot of weird emails about Carrie Bradshaw, and not only is there diarrhea to avoid, but now--anaphylactic shock. She is turned away from restaurants for being inappropriately dressed and looks for the best ways to cope, i.e., reveling in the offerings of QVC and adopting a deranged pandemic dog. Quietly Hostile makes light as Irby takes us on another outrageously funny tour of all the gory details that make up the true portrait of a life behind the screenshotted depression memes. Relatable, poignant, and uproarious, once again, Irby is the tonic we all need to get by. A BEST BOOK from Vogue, Esquire, PopSugar, Glamour, The Skimm, and more

Politically Incorrect
Are you happy with the US government and the current state of the union? If so, then you probably won't appreciate this book. For the other 99% of Americans, this book may be for you. This book takes sarcastic aim at liberals, politics, taxes, economy, civil rights, 2nd amendment, and a variety of other inappropriate topics in a less than politically correct manner. The book is infused with a mixture of facts, humor and opinions from the perspective of an irritated conservative American. Liberals will tell you not to read this book, as they don't want to be clouded by facts and logic that have no place in their misguided world. So, prepare yourself to laugh as you read about topics that probably annoy you too. My pen name that translates to Perry Red Neck says it all. I am a 50 something conservative from the backwoods of central Pennsylvania, and a person of little significance as my wife of 28 years will attest. My most prominent but certainly not endearing trait is probably sarcasm. I have always kept my political opinions to myself and small circle of conservative leaning compatriots, however the current state of affairs in the USA are prompting me to speak up even though my views will not be considered mainstream or conformist. This is my first attempt to publish a book, although I have written and am in the process of writing several others, in genres that include science fiction and humor.

How to Try to Go Out
Do you still remember when your sofa was small, your TV was rubbish, you could afford to eat out, and you still knew people that you liked? Going Out used to be great, but then COVID-19 struck and you were made to stay at home for TWO YEARS. Now, you can go WHEREVER you like. What are you waiting for? The world is your oyster, so sit comfortably on your massive sofa, switch off your big TV, relax with your favourite snack and think carefully about what you've been missing. Here is your essential guide on How to Try to Go Out (And All the Reasons Why You Shouldn't Bother).
Letting Go Is All We have to Hold Onto
All humor is philosophy. But Austrian linguist Ludwig Wittgenstein went further: "An entire treatise of philosophy could be written that consists entirely of jokes." Author Evan Hodkins similarly said: "The next religion will consist of an expansive catalog of humor." And Mexican poet Cesar Cruz added: "All art should comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable."And now, dear reader, you have stumbled upon a very curious but very relatable collection of all-original humor that blends these ideas together into easy-to-digest, family-friendly, bite-sized nuggets -- known as "The Eisenberg Principles" -- one-sentence laughorisms!---From the Preface: It's rare to find a trifecta of thought streams and modalities as unexpectedly intertwined as what we find in this one-of-a-kind collection of original, one-sentence jokes, "laughorisms" known as The Eisenberg Principles. In these one-sentence vignettes, the fields of philosophy and psychology are married into uproariously funny trysts of paradoxical play, each one like a piece of brain-candy which is no less serious in its treatment of the human condition as it is absurd. We are not only afforded a chance to glimpse into the thoughts of this wondrously twisted thinker, we are challenged to follow him into the surprising and impossible rabbit holes of language he unearths on every page.F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." This catalog of contradictions puts you through Fitzgerald's test, playing with the principles of paradox and polarity and taking you from the comforts of clich矇 to the chasms of contradiction with just a few strokes of a pen.
A Second Helping
A Second Helping: Whining and Dining on Long Island picks up where Tom Schaudel's first book, Playing With Fire, left off as a playful romp through the crazy world of restaurants, dining rooms, and professional kitchens.

Looking back through a fifty-year restaurant career, Tom has assembled a cast of characters that would be the envy of fiction writers everywhere. In this book, you will meet an f-bombing octogenarian, a D-level celebrity asking for separate checks at her wedding, an aspiring counterfeiter with a seriously flawed gift certificate, the nine-year-old antichrist, and a woman who flushed a six-carat diamond ring down a toilet bowl. This latest collection is guaranteed to make you stay up late and laugh out loud and is a must read for anyone who has ever eaten in a restaurant, worked in a restaurant, asked to use the restroom in a restaurant or, God forbid, dreamed of owning a restaurant.

Because Yaya knew you have to grow up to appreciate how you grew up. And you're never too old to purse-sue your dreams.========================"Growing up Greek takes a strong constitution.

If any of this pertains to you, you've come to the right place. Read on. There are only two requirements to being a professional Santa Claus: 1) be fat and 2) be funny. If you can check these two boxes - and you're an old, chunky guy with a white beard - it's possible to make a little extra cash for your holidays. You will also have a whole lot of fun. If any of this rings true with you, read on. This gig is quite seasonal. On Dec. 26, it's over. Then, you go on an eleven-month vacation, until next Thanksgiving. You will read about large, drunken, corporate bashes in fancy restaurants. You'll read about small, intimate family gatherings around the fireplace. Both are wonderfully festive, in their own ways. You will read about impromptu encounters in the frozen food section of the grocery store, as well as the parking lot of the post office. You will read about the 'ups' (cheerful children, wanting new bikes) and the 'downs' (saddened children, wanting their parents to stop fighting). You will read about sparkling kids. You'll read about obnoxious adults. For the past decade, Supe has portrayed Santa, treating it as a legitimate, lucrative gig. Here, he shares many of the nice (as well as, not so nice) things he's seen with his mirror-image view through Kringle's eyeglasses. Many times, he sees you before you see him. But, if 'you' want to try your hand at being 'him' - and you want to take it seriously - it's a cool and rewarding side job. Read on, prancer. Read on, comet. Read on, reader.

Ill-Gotten Gold
Join a fireside confession, about a quest for hidden gold in modern-day Pittsburgh. Hear a tale of chivalry, dishonesty, thievery, and the hazards of acting on youthful impulse. Quotes from "Ill-Gotten Gold"--"I believe we're all temporarily insane from 15-25. That doesn't excuse our behavior, at those ages, but it does help explain it." "'Wait, ' I said. 'So, would you two get knighted while I got hung for this?' They didn't answer; they just laughed and turned their smiling, youthful faces towards me."

Chapin's World
While the use of humor has declined, the need for it has increased. Since medical studies confirmed that laughter boosted the body's endorphins, natural painkillers, and reduced stress, the humor found in Chapin's World could be a lifesaver. The 'master of Personal disaster' is back, with his reluctant family, and 'less-than role model' friends, to make you laugh out loud. In his latest attempt of Chapin's World, fabrications ran the gamut of outlining his family orientation, to the author's inept deer hunt with his cousin. Chapin also did a little tinkering in his tin shed, suffered more than normal light-headedness on Pike's Peak, and, as usual, received an ill-advised consultation from his beatnik acquaintance, Guru Clyde. The reader is taken from babysitting mishaps with a grandchild, a struggle through the author's military training, to the recollection of a knock-down-drag-out with his children's pets. Be the first and, most likely, the only, one on your block to own Chapin's World: Go Stand in the Corner.
