Sinopsis

In "Dodo Wonders," E. F. Benson crafts an exquisite tapestry of wit and social observation set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England. This novel follows the eccentric Dodo, a character who embodies both the absurdities and complexities of upper-middle-class life. With a narrative style that blends comedic prose and sharp commentary, Benson explores themes of identity, social hierarchy, and the trials of modernity. The rich dialogues and vivid characterizations provide a keen insight into the era's cultural mores, making it an inventive reflection of the Edwardian society. E. F. Benson was not only an accomplished author but also a member of a prominent literary family and a notable social commentator of his time. His experiences, including his education at Cambridge and his observations of the British social stratum, deeply influenced his writing. The creation of Dodo—a character that straddles the line between charm and unconventionality—can be seen as Benson's critique of societal norms, distilled through an artful lens of humor and empathy. "Dodo Wonders" is highly recommended for readers seeking a fascinating exploration of character and society, woven into a narrative that balances humor with poignant reflection. Benson's deft storytelling and insightful observations offer a delightful experience for anyone interested in early 20th-century literature and the intricacies of human relationships.

    In her book Self-Inflicted Wounds, comedian, actress, and cohost of CBS’s daytime hit show The Talk, Aisha Tyler recounts a series of epic mistakes and hilarious stories of crushing personal humiliation, and the personal insights and authentic wisdom she gathered along the way. The essays in Self-Inflicted Wounds are refreshingly and sometimes brutally honest, surprising, and laugh-out-loud funny, vividly translating the brand of humor Tyler has cultivated through her successful standup career, as well as the strong voice and unique point of view she expresses on her taste-making comedy podcast Girl on Guy. Riotous, revealing, and wonderfully relatable, Aisha Tyler’s Self-Inflicted Wounds: Heartwarming Tales of Epic Humiliation is about the power of calamity to shape life, learning, and success.

    What Readers Are Saying: “A lighthearted, easy breezy read!” “Fun and entertaining.” “This book got to my heart.”  
    The kid in the grocery store has his eyes. His hair. His birthmark. 
      
    Bryan Lassiter is an exotic dancer by night, construction company owner by day, and—oops—a father, apparently, to a boy he never knew existed until right this moment. 
    Jenna Corrigan has spent three years building a good life for Trevor, the nephew she’s raising as her own. His father is listed as unknown on the birth certificate, and as far as Jenna’s concerned, that’s exactly where he can stay. 
    Except the man staring at Trevor from across the aisle is clearly nobody’s unknown. 
    Letting her guard down would be a mistake. Forcing the issue would be his. But falling for each other could be the biggest mistake of all. 
      
    Sometimes one wrong turn can be oh so right.

    A perfect story for fans of Gaiman and Pratchett's GOOD OMENS, SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD'S END.
    Arthur Crazy is drunk and seeing ghosts.
    
    
    This is not a metaphor. The dead are walking and talking, and it doesn't matter that Arthur doesn't believe in them. They believe in him.
    
    
    Too drunk to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he's the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he's the only one who can help.
    
    
    As forgotten legends and lost demons stir all over the cobbled streets and snickelways, Arthur finds himself at the centre of an unfolding mystery—a light in the desert, a fart at a funeral—and he is about to discover that an unfortunate surname isn't the only thing that makes him stand out.
    
    
    Arthur just wants to sober up, have a kebab, and go home, but his conscience is knocking loud and clear, demanding he open the damn door. He may not be the hero the dead need, but he's the one they're stuck with. Besides, one of those ghosts seems kind of cute.
