Book Description
Introduction: The Prosperian Papers were originally prepared by James M. Gargle following a visit to the Kingdom of Prosperity some time ago. Gargle, a forgetful man, took to writing down events as he saw and heard about them, so that he would know what was happening to him. During his career, selling tiger lilies to Prosperians and buying potted Grungeon cactus plants, he recorded many adventures. They were the stuff of the day-to-day life of people and creatures in Prosperity, neighbouring Asperity and, sometimes, the Outside World. His notes became the basis of the Prosperian Papers which we offer to you here. The Kingdom of Prosperity is, in fact, a mixed blessing. While Prosperity has the famed Euphoria Pleasure Gardens and the renowned Royal Flying Desert Corps, it also has the Great Grungeon Desert with its fearsome heat, Grungeon Cactus and Gormless Grass. It is rather rainy in the winter too and desert tracks and trails are sometimes blown away by summer winds. Asperity, for its part, isn't much fun at all. In addition to the Great Vinegar Works with its pucker-causing fumes, Asperity's capitol, Woe, is about as tumbledown as a Prince's home town can be. The Prince Wilbur Swamp has two and a half times more creepy- crawly things than most other swamps. Asperians, talking through puckers unless they have rock candies on hand, tend to sound irritated a lot of the time--sort of like older sisters. In their part of the world, Prosperity and Asperity are more appreciated for their people and animals than for their geography. They make friends easily. They aren't too suspicious. And they think it is silly to work too hard. A Prosperian or Asperian--person or creature--is fun to have around, most of the time. James Gargle's stories provide Prosperian and Asperian history as it really happened. From them, it is possible to understand the rock candy-vinegar trade between Prosperity, the candy source, and Asperity, the vinegar producer. The problem of puckers--long a puzzle to scientists in the outside world--is explained in Zachariah Wince's monograph "Thoughts on why vinegar fumes make us pucker." The international scope of Prosperian rock candy is revealed in the sales records of Sweet*Tooth Farms. And the Prosperian belief in Asperian vinegar for Prosperian french fries is revealed as the obsession it truly was. The Prosperian Papers also tell us about the Royal Prosperian Flying Desert Corps--going past Watch Reports to the flesh and blood of General T. Oliver Grumble and his feisty band. Their efforts to protect the rock candy-vinegar trade from Moustapha and his Rock Candy Bandits offer tales of blood-tingling daring.

Book Description
In war, no one is safe. War has come to Thornstone, Tarkin’s Point, and Thoriddon, throwing all three nations into chaos. Led by the demon lord Vagborar, the legions of orcs are bent on nothing less than the total annihilation of both human and dwarf. With their demonic allies, they just might succeed. But not without a fight. As Serena tries to find answers and a path to victory, Orin and Brom fight with both sword and spell to turn back the tide of darkness. Beside them are a kingdom of dwarves and a city of humans, but even they may not be enough to beat back such a force. If they hope to survive, they need to come together, but with each nation under siege, uniting as one is easier said than done. When one of them is freed from battle, hope is rekindled, but prejudices rise to the surface, threatening everything. If any of them hope to survive, past actions and old hatreds must be forgotten. Hard decisions and painful sacrifices must be made. And pride and egotism must be set aside for the greater good. If not, a new age of evil will dawn upon the world.

DIVWith a chatty voice and sarcastic style, The Faker's Guide to the Classics condenses the great—but long and often complicated—novels, plays, and poems into bite-size nuggets of info that are easy to digest, cutting out the bloated analysis and nauseating debate of other reading guides. From Anna Karenina and Beowulf to Ulysses and Wuthering Heights, each of the 100 books profiled here is a classic that everyone talks about but only hardcore lit majors have actually read. Now, with The Faker's Guide to the Classics, you, too, can: Reminisce about books you were supposed to read for class but didn't; fudge literary discussions at fancy parties; impress a date with your incredible knowledge and wit; and cut through the ivory tower of world letters to read like a ninja! Each entry contains: a quick and dirty narrative description of plot points and overall story, including significant twists and surprise endings, told with humorous brevity; famous quotes from each work, accompanied by smartass responses; the original cover or an illustration conveying the work’s tone (or lack thereof). Brief author bios, including misdeeds and scandals, add illuminating and occasionally disgusting background to each work. All of the text appears in simple, contemporary English, so it’s easy to understand—and short enough to tweet. With this must-have guide, there’s no more need to worry whether a reference to Miss Havisham is an insult or to wonder what happened to Moby-Dick. Not reading the classics has never been easier! /div

Book Description
Intriguing and endlessly contentious ideas and images of apocalyptic measure come together in the book of Revelation. It is a rich and hermeneutically complicated Scripture that, unsurprisingly, has no universally accepted interpretation. Reading Revelation compares these four major approaches to Revelation by laying out the different interpretive translations provided by each school of thought in parallel columns.
