  This e-book is quite helpful in a hands-on and practical sense, which is one of its primary advantages.

  An absorbing and often hilarious account of the author's 12 years as closeted cabin crew for British Airways.  It's a story of love, creativity and acceptance, the transformative power of lesbian love and more.  Told with the wit and verve that characterised her debut novel, Karen's memoir of flying as cabin crew offers a fascinating insight into the profound impact of long-haul life.  Having come out as a lesbian she is forced to go back in as colleagues advise her that it is not ok to be gay, unlike male cabin crew. Brimming with vertiginous loops and extreme globe-trotting, against a backdrop of exotic locations, hotel bars and nightclubs, Karen slowly unravels as the inability to truly be herself reverberates. This is the story of how Karen finally came into land. How she learned to look after herself and discovered her true strength. "Atmospheric and idiosyncratic, this is a memoir that entertains and emboldens" Observer

  One of the most successful nightclub and theater comedians in America started out a long way from the stage, in the tiny farming community of Lithonia, Georgia. James Gregory was born into a family with lots of love but little money. His parents paid the doctor for his delivery with "a bushel of beans and a peck of tomatoes." 
   
   
   
  Before he became "The Funniest Man in America," James was a successful salesman of everything from encyclopedias to log homes. His philosophy: take care of yourself so nobody has to take care of you. When he started over as a comedian, this commitment to hard work and honest dealing would be the key to his "business" of comedy. James loves working people—because that's what he is, too. 
   
   
   
  James was quickly discovered—not just in the South, but across America—by folks who love down-home, wholesome humor. He became the court jester of country music royalty, too, from Randy Travis to "Whispering" Bill Anderson to the Possum himself, George Jones. Whether it's entertaining our troops in the Persian Gulf after 9/11, working the road with greats like Steven Wright and Jay Leno, or facing a heart-stopping emergency that sent him into a coma, James has squeezed a dozen lifetimes into a half-century of comedy. This book is the best James Gregory story yet—as only he can tell it.

  Travels Through France And Italy

  Tobias Smollett

  In Travels Through France and Italy , Tobias Smollett offers a sharp-witted and often acerbic account of his 1765 journey across continental Europe. Written in the form of letters, the narrative captures Smollett’s observations on the customs, manners, politics, and social conditions of France and Italy during the mid-18th century. With little patience for foreign eccentricities or perceived backwardness, Smollett delivers biting commentary on everything from French cuisine and Italian architecture to medical practices and local superstitions. Though often critical and biased, his travelogue provides a vivid and historically rich portrait of Enlightenment-era Europe through the eyes of a skeptical, opinionated Englishman. Combining satire with cultural insight, it remains a classic of early travel literature.
