  Unforgettable You

  Reid: According to my mother, I ruined my life the minute I quit ballet in college and destroyed her dreams of having a professional dancer in the family. My steady bartending job, friends, and fanfic hobby weren’t good enough apparently. Not that I cared what she thought anymore. Mostly. Things had been pretty conflict-free up until my new neighbor showed up and threw everything into chaos. 
    
  Sophie: I never expected to run into Reid Hayward of all people when I moved into my first off-campus apartment. To say that she isn’t thrilled to see me is an understatement. That’s fair, considering the last time we saw each other she and my sister were in the middle of a very loud breakup that I witnessed. Reid is still livid though, as if I was the one who lied to her and ended the relationship years ago. 
    
  Reid: The last time I saw Sophie Love, she was this annoying teenager who was always asking to tag along on my dates with her sister. That was a longggg time ago, because she’s all grown up now and I’m doing my very best not to notice. That becomes even more of a challenge when I discover that our beds are up against the same wall and I can hear … a lot of things. Personal, intimate things, if you know what I mean. My first instinct is to pound on the wall to get her to stop. My second is to listen. 
    
  Sophie: Mortification doesn’t begin to cover the way I feel after I realize she heard me last night. The awkward conversation after doesn’t kill me, but it does give me an idea. You see, I’ve only recently realized I’m not as straight as I always thought, and Reid works at the only sapphic bar in the state. If there’s anyone who knows about this stuff, it’s her. What if she took me under her wing and taught me how to date a woman? Reid doesn’t even like me, so it wouldn’t mean anything. Just a way to get all my nervousness and fumbling out of the way before I try to do this for real. It’s a wild idea, but what’s even wilder is that she agrees.

  Diary of a Man in Despair

  Friedrich Reck, Richard J. Evans

  Hailed as one of the most important works on the Hitler period, this is an "astonishing, compelling, and unnerving" portrait of life in Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1944—from a man who nearly shot Hitler himself (The New Yorker). 
   
   
    
  Friedrich Reck might seem an unlikely rebel against Nazism. Not just a conservative but a rock-ribbed reactionary, he played the part of a landed gentleman, deplored democracy, and rejected the modern world outright. To Reck, the Nazis were ruthless revolutionaries in Gothic drag, and helpless as he was to counter the spell they had cast on the German people, he felt compelled to record the corruptions of their rule. 
   
   
    
  The result is less a diary than a sequence of stark and astonishing snapshots of life in Germany between 1936 and 1944. We see the Nazis at the peak of power, and the murderous panic with which they respond to approaching defeat; their travesty of traditional folkways in the name of the Volk; and the author's own missed opportunity to shoot Hitler. This riveting book is not only, as Hannah Arendt proclaimed it, "one of the most important documents of the Hitler period," but a moving testament of a decent man struggling to do the right thing in a depraved world.

  The term “mafia” has been used to refer to various secret groups or organizations that are involved in various forms of organized crimes and are spread across the world in various countries. They are usually recognized by the name of the country in which they have originated. Most of the group members of the mafia belong to a particular nationality and operate in the particular country itself. The main goal of such mafia groups is to have full control over the various kinds of activities. They can even have a monopoly over certain criminal activities. But one should not be mistaken! Though several films, documentaries and plays have been enacted in the life of the mafias and the wrong deeds done by them, people might still get the impression that the mafias are good people. The people might be allured by the money-earning capacity of the mafias in no matter of time. The lavish lifestyle led by them and the kind of richness they possess, it might appear quite overwhelming on the exterior front. But the truth is that, on the inner side, it is all black. The mafias have their hands spoiled with the color of blood. Mafia members are constantly living under the violence from the other mafia groups and often end up getting killed or killing others. There is no room for peace in their lives. The world in the due course of the mafias and their menace, has witnessed several major wars. The Mafia Wars as it is called have been the root cause due to the disturbances created in one group or the other and in taking revenge on the other. As we live in the present era, there are still major mafia groups out there in several parts of the world.
