NPR “Best Books of 2013” BookPage Best Books of 2013 Library Journal Best Books of 2013: Memoir Flavorwire 10 Best Nonfiction Books of 2013 A vivid, funny, and poignant memoir that celebrates the distinct lure of the camaraderie and community one finds drinking in bars. Rosie Schaap has always loved bars: the wood and brass and jukeboxes, the knowing bartenders, and especially the sometimes surprising but always comforting company of regulars. Starting with her misspent youth in the bar car of a regional railroad, where at fifteen she told commuters’ fortunes in exchange for beer, and continuing today as she slings cocktails at a neighborhood joint in Brooklyn, Schaap has learned her way around both sides of a bar and come to realize how powerful the fellowship among regular patrons can be. In Drinking with Men, Schaap shares her unending quest for the perfect local haunt, which takes her from a dive outside Los Angeles to a Dublin pub full of poets, and from small-town New England taverns to a character-filled bar in Manhattan’s TriBeCa. Drinking alongside artists and expats, ironworkers and soccer fanatics, she finds these places offer a safe haven, a respite, and a place to feel most like herself. In rich, colorful prose, Schaap brings to life these seedy, warm, and wonderful rooms. Drinking with Men is a love letter to the bars, pubs, and taverns that have been Schaap’s refuge, and a celebration of the uniquely civilizing source of community that is bar culture at its best.

Book Description
"23 Things I Wish I Could Ask..." isn't your ordinary self-help or spiritual book for grief and loss. A book of questions -- one question in quiet reflection on each page, It's more like a walk of discovery in a beautiful art exhibit, each piece of art asking you a different question.If you like or have thought about dipping your toe into philosophy, meditation, Stoicism and poetic readings in little bites to easily absorb....this book is a welcome, comforting read to open you up, make you feel what you needed to feel, ultimately joyful about moving your own life forward.If you've ever found yourself thinking about a loved one you've lost ... or about someone still alive but not around in your life, and wishing you could talk to them...ask them just one more question keeping you up at night and rushing into your thoughts during the day....this book is something to hold in your hands, by your night table or favorite quiet place with your morning or afternoon coffee or tea. "23 Things..." is a book of questions -- all questions -- the author wrote to open himself up and move his life forward.Mourning and grieving can be, after a point, destructive. Unanswered questions can be haunting. The author, Jan Zlotnick, found himself, before and during the pandemic, asking questions out loud to his parents, who died many years prior. He found that putting the questions in writing and reflecting on them was as much about listening to himself as listening for answers from his loved ones. It also made him think of the questions his own children and friends and family might have for him today. After the last page, where Jan recalls his most cherished question as a child in the dark...there is even a way to ask your own question to Jan.

They struggle with the 'hero's journey'. This book not only describes one such journey with great honesty and sensitivity, it also provides hope and proof of how to navigate the route. It could be a useful guide to the next generation who pass this way." - Professor Pat McGorry AO, University of Melbourne. Executive Director, Orygen, The National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health "This is a brave, candid and beautifully written description of the effect of depression that will be of enormous educational value for sufferers, their family and health professionals. The book also serves to provide much-needed hope that, with appropriate treatment and support, the outcome can be very positive." - Professor Garry Walter AM, Chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Sydney
