Sinossi

In "Baled Hay: A Drier Book than Walt Whitman's 'Leaves o' Grass,'" Bill Nye delivers a clever and satirical exploration of rural American life and the complexities of agriculture. Through a series of humorous essays and observations, Nye employs a conversational tone that dances between the playful and the poignant, reminiscent of 19th-century literary humor. His work serves not only as a reflection of the agrarian society of his time but also engages with broader themes of nature, labor, and the American identity, making it a noteworthy contribution to the genre of pastoral literature. Bill Nye, an esteemed humorist and writer from the late 19th century, drew inspiration from his own experiences living in the American West. His background as a farmer and his keen appreciation for the natural world informed his writing, allowing him to authentically capture the essence of rural life. Nye's penchant for wit and satire reveals societal truths that resonate even today, making his work both enjoyable and thought-provoking. "Baled Hay" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate humor interwoven with insightful commentary on agricultural practices and rural existence. Nye's unique voice and perspective make this book a timeless read, appealing to those seeking both amusement and a deeper understanding of the human experience within the American landscape.

Then Leo asks Samantha to be his plus one to the wedding, as his fake fiancée. What’s up with that? So when Stella is kidnapped the eve of her wedding it’s up to Samantha to get to the bottom of these mysteries. Samantha vows three things:

    ***MATURE AUDIENCE*** 
    Living Dead Lovers READ BY THE AUTHOR. 
    Living Dead Lovers follows the life and times of famed psychic-medium, half-Romani gypsy, Valentina ‘Cabbage’ Moone, from her mute infancy trawling the roads of Europe to a fiery-tongued, hard-drinking, speed-loving clairvoyant with a complete disregard for human life, including her own of late… 
    Psychic medium Cabbage brings forth more than she can chew with womanizing dead racing-car driver, Marty ‘Magma’ Molloy, who doesn’t want to give up the chase. 
    A twisted love affair never meant to be. Necrophilia: that’s what the sceptical call it. Romantics call it the yin-yang love between being and human being, light and, oh, so very dark. 
    And her guardian angel Mr. Brick Shithouse makes it even more complicated...

    Vik Island weight-loss group, Losers Club, is on the mainland for the Police Scotland Bravery Awards and, even better, they’re staying in a posh hotel.  With housekeeping trollies full of free stuff just lying about the place, waiting for the unwary pilferer, Mrs Hubbard’s only regret is that she didn’t bring a bigger handbag.   
     
    Diet sheets have been abandoned and Gordon’s dungarees are straining at the seams, so what could be nicer than a gentle stroll up Bennachie to offset all those breakfast sausages?  Anything.  Anything could be nicer because this is no gentle stroll. 
     
    When the Losers stumble upon the body of a young woman on the hillside, they quickly become entangled in a web of deceit surrounding local road protestors.  The very police officers awarding them for bravery seem determined to write off the death as a drug overdose, and it is up to Losers Club to convince them otherwise.   
     
    Soon, the hunt is on for an elusive whistleblower, and the Losers find themselves pitted against the establishment.  As the conspiracy deepens and the bodies start piling up, they realise that they can trust no one
