Cheerfulosophy - Interviewing Mr Clemens

Antonino Mattei

Synopsis

A journey of fantasy in the form of an interview. I enjoyed expressing thoughts and reflections made through the constant teasing on the part of the interviewed subject, who can't stand me and doesn't even try to hide it, even if, deep down, he would not have wanted another interviewer. With a question and a blow to me as an answer, the whole interview unfolds. Seemingly chaotic and senseless, sometimes banal and offensive, but, for those who can read between lines, there is no offense, there is no malice and in the smile there is still a clue to reflect. I wish you lots of laughs in life starting with this book.

Splendid Little Schemes - A Novel

Robin Strong

It's not a pyramid scheme. It's an opportunity—for revenge. 
Victoria Sterling is living her dream life in Splendor Springs, where Mormons, mommy bloggers, and MLMs reign supreme. The flawless influencer only needs one more recruit to reach the top of Puremetics, but when she targets Anna Price, she unknowingly threatens her picture-perfect life. 
That's because a mistyped address sends down-on-her-luck Anna to the wrong house, crashing a meeting of the OWLS—an unlikely group of silver-haired activists. The rebel women convince Anna to enroll in Vicky's downline and help take down Puremetics from the inside. 
As their worlds collide, the cracks from Vicky's past become too large to ignore. With each shattering revelation, she wonders if she can maintain the shiny facade upholding her business empire or if taking down her corrupt boss is worth risking it all. 
With plenty of heart and humor, Splendid Little Schemes is a sharp and entertaining tale of ambition, friendship, and redemption.

What the Hell - How Wittgenstein...

Sophia Blackwell

Finally, a philosophy book that won't make you contemplate throwing yourself into the abyss! " WHAT THE HELL" tears into Ludwig Wittgenstein—history's most insufferable genius—with savage wit and zero academic pretension. 
Journey through the mind-bending contradictions of a trust-fund philosopher who claimed to solve all philosophical problems (twice!), while making everyone around him miserable. Discover how a man who couldn't maintain a single healthy relationship somehow revolutionized our understanding of language, meaning, and communication. 
From his early days writing numbered lists so pretentious they make Instagram influencers look humble, to his later career interrupting people to tell them they're using words wrong, this book exposes Wittgenstein in all his paradoxical glory. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question whether language has any meaning at all—just like Ludwig wanted! 
Whether you're a philosophy student desperately seeking comic relief, or simply enjoy watching neurotic geniuses get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide proves that even the most profound philosophical insights can come from someone you'd absolutely hate to be seated next to at dinner. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting in libraries and concerned looks from serious academics.

She's hoping she can steer the detectives in the right direction before she's doomed to wander for eternity. 
Because in the city of angels and 12 step programs, even the dead need a little help from time to time.
