Pages : 162
Book Description
The content of the book is all true. It is easy to look back and see the pattern of how your life occurrences go after they happen. If you are not careful, you might learn something after reading how my life was impacted. This could and will happen to you also. If you think there is any way possible that if you believe and speak out loud that someone is listening, you are 100 percent correct. You do not have to believe me; the easiest, most positive way is to believe for yourself. You do not have to change anything; just as you are yourself, ask questions. Know that by finding peace and talking on a regular basis to someone who died just so you could have freedom. It is very simple, not complicated at all; those eight million minutes you spent on your phone, give it up a little. Get the app. Or read a little. If you're not careful, there might possibly be a miracle or so with your name on it. When you wake up tomorrow morning, remember Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE). May the faith be with you.

One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night
Author: Christopher Brookmyre
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802193889
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
“Pulp Fiction meets And Then There Were None” in this comic mystery set during a high school reunion off the coast of Scotland (Booklist). Gavin Hutchison has a plan to create a unique “floating holiday experience” on a converted North Sea oil rig. It’ll be a haven for tourists who want a vacation without the hassle of actually going anywhere. And what better way to test out his venture than to host a fifteen-year high school reunion, the biggest social event of his life? Believe it or not, the plan goes all wrong. Not only does no one remember Gavin, but his wife has discovered his philandering ways and plans to ditch him with a very public announcement in front of his assembled guests. That includes the uninvited ones, like a band of party-crashing mercenaries who are about to bring out the very worst in these very old friends. “Champagne bottles morph into defensive weapons” in prize-winning author Christopher Brookmyre’s comedy of betrayal, blackmail, revenge, and survival (Hartford Courant). “Furiously paced and wonderfully absurd, with more one-liners than a Colombian coke dealer.” —Maxim “Broad humor . . . and breakneck plotting.” —The New York Times Book Review

Book Description
For the first time, Faber publish a selection from the poetry of Philip Larkin. Drawing on Larkin's four collections and on his uncollected poems. Chosen by Martin Amis. 'Many poets make us smile; how many poets make us laugh - or, in that curious phrase, "laugh out loud" (as if there's another way of doing it)? Who else uses an essentially conversational idiom to achieve such a variety of emotional effects? Who else takes us, and takes us so often, from sunlit levity to mellifluous gloom?... Larkin, often, is more than memorable: he is instantly unforgettable.' - Martin Amis
