Thrift - A Companion to Self-Help

Samuel Smiles

First published in 1875, Thrift is Samuel Smiles' companion volume to his phenomenally popular Self-Help and Character. In it, Smiles argues that frugality and prudent saving form the true foundation of personal independence, dignity, and social progress. Drawing on historical anecdotes, biographical sketches, and moral reflection, he examines the habits of saving and spending across different classes of society, contrasting reckless extravagance with the quiet discipline of the thrifty. Equal parts economic treatise and moral guidebook, Thrift remains a fascinating window into Victorian ideals of self-reliance, and offers timeless — if occasionally quaint — lessons on managing money, avoiding debt, and building a secure future through one's own effort. A classic of 19th-century self-improvement literature, perfect for listeners interested in personal finance history, Victorian social thought, and the origins of the modern self-help genre.

Sea State - A Memoir

Tabitha Lasley

A Recommended Read from: Vogue * USA Today * The Los Angeles Times * Publishers Weekly * The Week * Alma * Lit Hub
A stunning and brutally honest memoir that shines a light on what happens when female desire conflicts with a culture of masculinity in crisis
In her midthirties and newly free from a terrible relationship, Tabitha Lasley quit her job at a London magazine, packed her bags, and poured her savings into a six-month lease on an apartment in Aberdeen, Scotland. She decided to make good on a long-deferred idea for a book about oil rigs and the men who work on them. Why oil rigs? She wanted to see what men were like with no women around.
In Aberdeen, Tabitha became deeply entrenched in the world of roughnecks, a teeming subculture rich with brawls, hard labor, and competition. The longer she stayed, the more she found her presence had a destabilizing effect on the men—and her.
Sea State is on the one hand a portrait of an overlooked industry: “offshore” is a way of life for generations of primarily working-class men and also a potent metaphor for those parts of life we keep at bay—class, masculinity, the transactions of desire, and the awful slipperiness of a ladder that could, if we tried hard enough, lead us to security.
Sea State is on the other hand the story of a journalist whose professional distance from her subject becomes perilously thin. In Aberdeen, Tabitha gets high and dances with abandon, reliving her youth, when the music was good and the boys were bad. Twenty years on, there is Caden: a married rig worker who spends three weeks on and three weeks off. Alone and in an increasingly precarious state, Tabitha dives into their growing attraction. The relationship, reckless and explosive, will lay them both bare.

Archer Vale

“Dude…have you ever watched two guys kiss?” 
I’m not sure how it happened. 
Zack promised to teach me how to skate, but instead we ended up in his bed, fully nude while watching hardcore videos on his laptop. He thought it’d be funny to show me gay stuff, but it did something to my brain. 
These days, my free time is spent alone in my dark bedroom. I surf the web for fringe content like “Hardcore Gay Findom” and “Gay MAGA Redpill”, but it’s not enough. 
I keep going back to his apartment. He makes me wear a collar. He films me and sells the videos online. 
My mind is broken. 
I’m addicted to showing my body…
