Here I Am
Author: Jonathan Safran Foer
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 0374280029
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
A monumental novel from the bestselling author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer's Here I Am In the book of Genesis, when God calls out, “Abraham!” before ordering him to sacrifice his son, Isaac, Abraham responds, “Here I am.” Later, when Isaac calls out, “My father!” before asking him why there is no animal to slaughter, Abraham responds, “Here I am.” How do we fulfill our conflicting duties as father, husband, and son; wife and mother; child and adult? Jew and American? How can we claim our own identities when our lives are linked so closely to others’? These are the questions at the heart of Jonathan Safran Foer’s first novel in eleven years—a work of extraordinary scope and heartbreaking intimacy. Unfolding over four tumultuous weeks in present-day Washington, D.C., Here I Am is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. As Jacob and Julia Bloch and their three sons are forced to confront the distances between the lives they think they want and the lives they are living, a catastrophic earthquake sets in motion a quickly escalating conflict in the Middle East. At stake is the meaning of home—and the fundamental question of how much aliveness one can bear. Showcasing the same high-energy inventiveness, hilarious irreverence, and emotional urgency that readers loved in his earlier work, Here I Am is Foer’s most searching, hard-hitting, and grandly entertaining novel yet. It not only confirms Foer’s stature as a dazzling literary talent but reveals a novelist who has fully come into his own as one of our most important writers. “Dazzling . . . A profound novel about the claims of identity, history, family, and the burdens of a broken world.” —Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s “Fresh Air”

Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid
Author: Howard J Morris
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416595058
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
THE REVEALiNG, RiP-ROARiNGLY FUNNY GUiDE TO MAKiNG EVERY RELATiONSHiP SMARTER, SANER, AND HAPPiER. Since the dawn of time, when the first smitten caveboy tried to woo the object of his affections by shoving her into the mud, men have demonstrated that when it comes to women, they are profoundly stupid. And when it comes to men, women -- no matter how intelligent or mature -- are completely crazy. Based on this simple yet groundbreaking insight, comedy writers and real-life couple Howard J. Morris and Jenny Lee have devised a relationship guide that is refreshingly honest, completely hilarious, and surprisingly practical. Using their own crazy/stupid romance as an example of these forces in action, they set out to explain why women ask questions that they absolutely do not want answered -- and why men persist in answering them. What are men really thinking -- or crucially, not thinking? Why do women view even the most mundane events through an emotional prism? Why do guys suck at being romantic? And why does every conversation with a woman lead back to whether or not she's fat? Using wit, hard-earned wisdom, and a highly entertaining he said/she said format, the authors explore the surprising method to his dumbness and the valid reasons behind her insanity, while providing real solutions to perennial relationship problems. By teaching men how and why they're stupid around women and showing women how to "control the crazy" for everybody's sake, Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid helps couples to reach the place where giving isn't giving in, needing isn't needy, and where the sexes can break the dysfunctional patterns and find a way to live lovingly, happily ever after.

When the railroad tracks through Sumner are abandoned, twelve-year-old Jess McCormick and his little brother, Brian, find an opportunity to capitalize on the situation. Seventy-five miles of railroad right-of-way become a go-kart highway, practically running through their backyard. With technical skills beyond those of their peers, endless resources, tools and used parts, they become entrepreneurs by opening up a custom go-kart shop in an old work shed behind their house. Their shop becomes the go-kart center of the trail. Every kid in Sumner and the surrounding area comes to see the small-engine whiz kids about getting modifications made to their go-karts. Everyone scrounges, saves and raids area junkyards in search of resources to build the faster, better go-kart. Some come by the local pizza parlor to challenge Jess, who is known all along the trail to have the fastest go-kart. The hard working boys make a few enemies along the way, but they also embrace friendships. They make a little money, hang out a lot, go on a few hairy rides, and even get a friend or two out of a tight scrape. It isn't until they venture into the world of Jr. Drag Racing that their mechanical as well as business skills are really put to the test.
