The Funny Thing About Being Sober
Author: John C. Wolfe
Publisher: Wolfe Books
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
“The Funny Thing About Being Sober” is the punchline to "You Can't Die: A Day of Clarity." It contrasts, in a humorous, sometimes explicit way, the difference between life now, and life before rehab. Drunk or sober, the author is weird. Those around him are surprised to learn that he's even weirder sober than he was drunk. Soon after leaving rehab, the author learns what he long-suspected -- that, for decades, his alcoholism masked a different illness, one that he would now have to confront in sobriety. He does it mockingly, with an irreverent attitude and a steady stream of pranks, stunts and childish behavior, some of which make the news and go viral on Reddit and Buzzfeed. The author concedes that there was nothing funny about the final, shocking years of his alcoholism. In fact, as time goes by, he is stunned by how much he missed when he was drinking. Even though he got sober in 2013, he is baffled when he learns that many of his favorite 90s musicians died twenty years earlier. The author nearly died from alcoholism. At the time, he knew he was dying and accepted it. Having recovered, he refuses to accept his new diagnosis, opting instead to defeat it his own way. Instead of hiding his peculiarities, he puts them front and center. He is not afraid of stigmas, which makes his stories and observations of life thought-provoking and wildly entertaining.

Down Among the Gods
Author: Kate Thompson

ISBN: 148042417X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
The Greek god Hermes narrates this extraordinary novel of contemporary romance by award-winning author Kate Thompson “I have a story for you . . . It is a tale of immortals, acted by mortals.” So begins this story of two lonely people who meet at an adult education class. Jessie Parker has just turned forty. Between the recent death of her mother and the local library’s burning down, she feels bereft and adrift. Patrick Robinson, a journalist with artistic tendencies, is also searching for something. With the gods looking down upon them, Jessie and Patrick begin dating. Soon, they find themselves deeply in love, but caught up in the struggles that plague all relationships. Told from the perspective of the immortal Hermes, Down Among the Gods is a riff on the modern romance. By turns funny and moving, this remarkable novel lays bare the intimate yearnings of those who quest after love everlasting—whether on Olympus or right here on Earth.

The Games of the Dead
Author: Matthew Theisen
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 149179996X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Pablo Nuri, a Guatemalan refugee, has difficulty accepting that the only lasting American tradition is doing what the money tells him to do. Yet as he researches and studies history and stories he happens upon a thread of duality that weaves through the fabric of humanity and he feels compelled to trace the stability and changeability of cultures toward destiny. His wife thinks he should get a real job, but Pablo desires to search and find the Twin Houses representing good and evil because he may be able to unite them for a new creation or transcend both if they cannot be manipulated to do his will. Surely there must be more to existence in America than an amoeba dividing into Ronald Reagan and Charles Manson to mitotically spread images that gather followers to cull the herds of their nominal leaders' opponents. Cell by cell, Pablo believes he is building a freedom to be passed along to the next generation he thinks is becoming imprisoned at each dimensional level.
