When I Want Your Opinion . . . I'll Give It to You!
Author: Carlos Civita
Publisher: Xlibris
ISBN: 9781425769765
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In this captivating, often humorous book, Mr. Civita expresses his opinion on thirty-four prominent topics, divided in five groups: society, family, politics, us, and sports. On the first group, Mr. Civita's spotlight moves from the ambiguous definition of Ambition and today's healthcare problems, to his sarcastic view of gossip, stupidity, snobbism, and humanity's misuse of its gift of speech. On the second, he criticizes the excessive use of high-tech equipment by the young and the scarce time and attention that many parents dedicate to their children. On politics, Mr. Civita examines the differences and similarities of liberals and conservatives, censures the pacifist attitude, and responds to the question of why so many people hate Americans. On the fourth group, the author makes fun of hypochondriacs, superstitions, and soap operas, debates politeness, patience, optimism versus pessimism, and describes the dramatic life of a trauma surgeon. The fifth and last group includes two satiric stories: how to win a soccer world cup and the tricks that can help you defeat a better tennis player. Mr. Civita has succeeded in compiling appealing subjects, on which he offers his polemic and satiric view in this entertaining and witty book.

An American Love Story
Author: Rona Jaffe
Publisher: Dell
ISBN: 0804154015
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
Four smart women . . . and their foolish choice. In love with the same man. The wrong man. Women found him so easy to love. Clay Bowen had it all—charisma, good looks, and power in the glamorous world of television. Laura, the delicate dancer, gave up her dazzling career to marry him and have his child. Nina excelled at everything—except capturing her father’s complete attention. Bambi, his ruthless young “assistant,” thought she was using him. And Susan, a brilliant writer, couldn’t bear to think their twenty-year bicoastal romance was too good to be true. In her most riveting novel since The Best of Everything, Rona Jaffe weaves a compelling story of passion and obsession. Moving from the glittering capitals of the world and the epicenter of the TV and movie industries to the darkest depths of the human heart, she holds her readers captive to the very last page. Praise for An American Love Story “Jaffe comprehends the ambivalence of women in love like few other contemporary novelists.”—New Woman “Compelling . . . a novel of growth, despair, destruction and realization—a novel to read and have a daughter read.”—UPI “Savvy and sharp.”—St. Petersburg Times “Thoughtful, provocative.”—San Antonio Express-News
