Book Description
I spent twenty years of my life in the game. I made a lot of money, had more cars than one man could ever dream of having, and went to all the parties. Man, those were the good ol days. Now all thats left are the stories I have to tell. Dont get me wrong, I still have lots of money, but as I sit here now at the age of forty-eight, I wonder if God understands the things Ive done. I wonder what hell say to me when I meet him face to face and try to explain it all. There are many other stories like mine, but my story has a twist to what I had done and why Ive done it. I went from rags to kingpin with the help from some good friends. The reason I am telling you my story is so you can get a feel of what my life has been like. And why I had to start a new one.

Book Description
Dred Scott Vanderpool grew up in a drug-infested community in Washington State, not far from the Canadian border. He started smoking hashish during his teen years and never stopped. Dred, who was also known by the nickname Chunky, graduated from college ahead of schedule and decided to pursue drug trafficking full time in lieu of a more traditional career path. Chunkys first order of business post-graduation was setting up a legal business entity that allowed him and his partner in crime since childhood, Tafari Winslow, to funnel illegal revenues into legitimate bank accounts. These two close friends and business associates worked hard to amass millions in cash, selling cocaine, hashish, and marijuana all over the West Coast. When they agreed it would be prudent to deposit dirty money into bank accounts they had opened in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland that was the beginning of the end.

Money make me cum . . . money, money make me cum . . . Chastity Jones is the real thing. She's beautiful, she's classy, and she's got money to spend. Other people's money. As long as there are men around, 19-year-old Chastity will be rolling in their dough.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
