Agents & Patients - A Novel
Anthony Powell
A wealthy Londoner falls victim to conmen on a journey through interwar Europe in this early novel by the celebrated author (New York Times). Unsavory artists, aristocratic nitwits, and charlatans with an affinity for Freud—such are the oddballs who animate the early novels of Anthony Powell. A genius of social satire and dry wit, Powell built his comedies on the foibles of British high society between the wars. These slim yet vastly entertaining novels reveal the early stirrings of the unequaled style, ear for dialogue, and eye for irony that would reach their caustic peak in Powell’s epic A Dance to the Music of Time. First published in 1936, Agents and Patients chronicles the exploits of the memorably named Blore-Smith, a decent enough chap with more money than sense. Feeling that his life has grown dull, he finds adventure in the company of two con artists—one an aspiring filmmaker, the other a would-be psychoanalyst. Their elaborate ploys bring Blore-Smith to the art galleries and whorehouses of Paris, Berlin, and beyond. Filled with eccentric characters and piercing insights, Powell’s work is achingly hilarious, human, and true.

Wolf Cub Chlo

Read laugh out loud jokes in part I and learn my secret joke formula in part II. Learning how to tell your own jokes sparks creativity and creates endless hours of fun; Perfect for subway rides, airplane travels, long road trips and bored days at home. Q: What did the fallen horse say to the other horses? A: Help! I've fallen and I can't "gitty-up!" Clean comedy for the whole family. Perfect for young budding comedians of all ages. Children love to tell jokes to parents, friends, and other family members. A pun is a figure of speech that uses similar-sounding words or exploits multiple meanings of a term. Written by Wolf Cub Chlo, the first section of this easy-to-read book provides a question-and-answer style with several examples of puns. The second section of this children’s picture book teaches children—and their parents—how to come up with a pun by using a similar-sounding word or phrase. Children love a good pun or joke that tickles your 'punny bone. Puns will keep kids entertained ... Puns can also serve as a lesson in spelling since puns often use similar-sounding words that have a different spelling. Knight and night sound the same but have very distinct spellings and different meanings. What do you call a knight who is afraid to fight? Sir Render. Oh, surrender. A pun makes people think of what that word should be or how it should be spelled. I think teachers will benefit from this book by giving children some examples of puns and how to make them up. Often, puns start with a question: What do baseball players eat on? Home plates!"- Readers favorite review, 5 stars

Discernment
Roy M. Close
Cedric Willow is a middle-aged journalist and senior warden at St. Bartholomew by the Lake, a small Episcopal parish in Minneapolis. St. Bart's church is a widely admired icon of mid-century modern architecture, but its congregation is aging and attendance is on the decline. When the incumbent rector resigns, Cedric forms a search committee—a "discernment" committee, in Episcopal parlance—and embarks on a nine-month search for a new spiritual leader. Complicating his task: a bitter feud between two members of the vestry, the fact that he's an atheist, and a disruptive voice in his head called Op Ed. There's also the Church Lady, a mousy junior warden who aspires to his position, who strikes him as pious to a fault, and with whom he is falling in love. Discernment is a novel about trying to do the right thing in a world with no easy answers, and what happens when altruism and self-interest collide.
