  "Enchanting . . . Hardy's almost hopeful view of the world's inevitably chaotic future lifts this entertaining and well-told tale." 	Publisher's weekly 
  "Londonia fizzes with boisterous humour and quirky invention . . . the tale also helps to think through what really matters in life and perhaps to learn a lesson or two from our own current predicament." 		Hackney Citizen 
  Londonia, that’s where we are. A sprawl of a place surrounding The Cincture - all of it once London town. Some people say we’re in the year 2073, others cycle 60 . . . who gives a creepin’ beetle where we are in the history of man. Messed it up good and proper didn’t we – they, humankind generally. All I know is I got my shed, my friends and a little bit of an angle on stuff – visions, see inside persons, y’know.Anyway, ain’t about me so much this book, more about Hoxton and her life. Within half a clockface I knew she was different . . . not so many damefolk would take over a church after waking on a bench with not so much as a gnat’s knowledge of what happened in their life before that moment. Got it sorted she has: a finder’s life for her – whatever you want: coffee, a shootstick, fresh meat, Zeitporn, snash, gnole . . . her ‘an Jarvis, they’ll find it – for a goodly trade, of course. 
  All sorted until a jaunt into The Cincture caused her to learn something that opened up a chink into the past: something that started the ultimate finding mission. Anyway, I’m getting ahead of meself here. Pull up that armchair to the fire. I’ll put the kettle on if the waterman’s been. Jake’s the name – Jake the prophet.

  This classic collection by Bret Harte captures the rugged spirit, humor, and unexpected humanity of life in California’s Gold Rush-era mining camps. The titular story, The Luck of Roaring Camp , tells the poignant tale of a group of rough miners who find purpose and redemption through the care of an orphaned infant. Other stories blend sentiment, irony, and adventure, portraying gamblers, outcasts, and dreamers navigating love, loss, and fortune-seeking in the untamed West. Harte’s vivid characters and rich storytelling helped define the Western literary genre, blending realism with romanticism to paint a nuanced portrait of frontier morality, camaraderie, and fate. A foundational work of American regional fiction.

  The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis -...

  Riotous tales of the college playboy-next-door—the basis for the iconic television show. “Shulman’s creation was born a sitcom hero” (The A.V. Club). Including stories first published in Cosmopolitan and the Saturday Evening Post, this bestselling collection follows the romantic escapades of Max Shulman’s famed collegiate Don Juan. Like most undergraduates, Dobie Gillis is a bit scattered—sometimes he’s as quick as a whip, other times dull as a doorstop, and his major keeps changing from chemistry to law to journalism. But no matter what subject he should be studying, Dobie always has a girl on his mind.   In “Love Is a Fallacy,” Shulman’s best-known short story that to this day is taught in writing classes and English survey courses as an archetypal example of the genre, Dobie finds the perfect bride-to-be. She’s beautiful and gracious, but not too smart—a flaw that he sets out to fix, with the most hilarious and ironic of consequences. In “The Unlucky Winner,” Dobie and Clothilde Ellingboe cut corners in class to make more time for their dates. But after an impossible English assignment sends the couple deep into the stacks to plagiarize an obscure essay, Dobie finds himself in a ridiculous bind. And in “She Shall Have Music,” Dobie can’t focus on his duties as circulation manager for the college humor magazine because his girlfriend, Pansy, has been shipped off to New York by her purple-faced father. The desperate Romeo hatches a plan to save the magazine and visit his girl, but a series of bad decisions and a Lithuanian wedding band threaten to ruin everything.

  Universally Screwed - Thrown...

  On an alien moon a showdown is unfolding between a giant space slug that's heading towards a planet to destroy it, and a military group readying to defend their home world. A small fluffy dog runs through the night intent on regaining its previous life, and a pizza delivery man leaves his shift hoping to attend a university party. All of these events connect as sinister forces maneuver themselves in the background waiting to strike. 
  You should buy this audiobook. It's narrated by a real person. He's very good. 
  It's a comedy. 
  However, to help you in your retail purchasing decisions, might I offer you these possibilities: 
  1) You love it. Thus, you have a wonderful day, and this audiobook was well worth the purchase. 
  2) You hate it. Then you gift it to your frenemy, and it was once more worth the cost, as you finally one-up your nemesis. 
  3) You neither love it nor hate it, so you print the cover, encase it in resin and convert it into a coffee table as a discussion piece about the meaning of knowledge and the impermanence of the digital age, and again the audiobook has earned its keep. 
  4) Should you be lacking a printer, and you find that it falls under option 3 above, might I suggest that you use it to level out that wonky table in your memory palace instead. Why is that table in your memory palace wonky? I don't know, it's your memory palace. You should probably do something about that, and this audiobook can help. 
  I wish you well on your future purchase. 
  As one final incentive, here is a message for you from your future self that was sent back in time. 
  "Wow, I'm sure glad I purchased that audiobook. Maybe I should buy three more and give them out as inspiration/warnings for future authors!" please remove words as appropriate - your future self. 
  And if that doesn't prove time travel, I don't know what will. 
  Also, if you buy several copies you are winning at the game of life. Good for you!
