Tough Sh*t
Author: Kevin Smith
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 110155424X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
That Kevin Smith? The guy who did “Clerks” a million years ago? Didn’t they bounce his fat ass off a plane once? What could you possibly learn from the director of “Cop Out”? How about this: he changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-three, and since then, he’s done whatever the hell he wants. He makes movies, writes comics, owns a store, and now he’s built a podcasting empire with his friends and family, including a wife who’s way out of his league. So here’s some tough shit: Kevin Smith has cracked the code. Or, he’s just cracked. Tough Sh*t is the dirty business that Kevin has been digesting for 41 years and now, he’s ready to put it in your hands. Smear this shit all over yourself, because this is your blueprint (or brownprint) for success. Kev takes you through some big moments in his life to help you live your days in as Gretzky a fashion as you can: going where the puck is gonna be. Read all about how a zero like Smith managed to make ten movies with no discernible talent, and how when he had everything he thought he’d ever want, he decided to blow up his own career. Along the way, Kev shares stories about folks who inspired him (like George Carlin), folks who befuddled him (like Bruce Willis), and folks who let him jerk off onto their legs (like his beloved wife, Jen). So make this your daily reader. Hell, read it on the toilet if you want. Just make sure you grab the bowl and push, because you’re about to take one Tough Sh*t.

The Sixteen - The Sensational Story of Britain's Top Secret Military Assassination Squad
Author: John Urwin
Publisher: Kings Road Publishing
ISBN: 1784183075
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
'WE'VE GONE TO A LOT OF TROUBLE TO GET YOU HERE. THERE IS ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU MUST UNDERSTAND: NOTHING OF WHAT YOU SEE OR HEAR CAN EVER BE REPEATED. OFFICIALLY, THIS PLACE DOES NOT EXIST.'As an eighteen-year-old called up for National Service, John Urwin thought his would be an ordinary tour of duty. He had no idea that when he was posted to Cyprus he would be recruited into a top-secret unit called 'the Sixteen', whose task was to assassinate key figures throughout the Middle East.He has never spoken about this elite unit in the 40 years since it was disbanded, but now he breaks his silence to tell their full amazing story.No government has ever officially confirmed the existence of the Sixteen and nothing has ever been revealed about this mysterious group. Their training in unarmed combat and weaponry was said to have surpassed that of the SAS.His description of their four key missions is explosive and a riveting account of the turbulent 1950s in the Middle East. The Cold War was approaching its height and there was a very real fear that there might be a nuclear conflict between the superpowers. When there was a mission to be undertaken that no government could be seen to endorse, the Sixteen would do the job. They underwent unique training to ensure they had completely eliminated all fearLong after he left the Sixteen, John Urwin continued to use his skills in the unarmed combat courses he ran, but nothing compared to the heart-stopping action he saw while in active service. This is an extraordinary account - no previous depiction of a military group, in book or movie, has remotely compared to the secrecy, skills and sheer professionalism of the Sixteen.

The Ballbreaker
Author: Jerome Washnis

Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
I served with the 7th Infantry Division in the Pacific back in 1945 and 1946 and that, I believe, is what inspired me to write this story. But this is not a war story, not at all, even though all the action takes place in wartime America in 1944. It is, rather, a salty tale about the trials and tribulations of a young man who was caught up in the wartime draft of that era. I mention my military service only to lend credence to some of the events that take place in this story. I took pains to express myself in simple, everyday language throughout the book, and used easy to understand words and phrases to make a point in various situations. The book itself is made up of interrelated comic situations … absorbing events and circumstances told in a ribald fashion, and which I tout as sophisticated adult humor.
