Summary

The Diary Of A Nobody George Grossmith, Weedon Grossmith - Mr Pooter is a man of modest ambitions, content with his ordinary life. Yet he always seems to be troubled by disagreeable tradesmen, impertinent young office clerks and wayward friends, not to mention his devil-may-care son Lupin with his unsuitable choice of bride. Try as he might, he cannot avoid life's embarrassing mishaps. In the bumbling, absurd, yet ultimately endearing figure of Pooter, the Grossmiths created an immortal comic character and a superb satire on the snobberies of middle-class suburbia - one which also sends up late Victorian crazes for spiritualism and bicycling, as well as the fashion for publishing diaries by anybody and everybody

    The sun's been setting for several months. Nobody's blinking. And no matter how hard he blows, the referee's whistle doesn't make a sound. Time to make up some new rules. 
    With audacious humor, unpredictable turns, and outlandish calls, Zebra Skin Shirt is the brilliantly-conceived conclusion/solution to Gregory Hill’s Strattford County Series. 
    Before the clocks stopped, Narwhal Slotterfield was an ordinary basketball referee. He blew his whistle. He stretched the rules. He even had a girlfriend. 
    But then the clock thing happened.  
    Now it’s 7:23 pm, Narwhal’s in a diner in the middle of the Great Plains, and now is all he’s got.  
    Left to wander a planet where people stand like manikins and raindrops never reach the earth, our ref soon realizes he has the power to officiate the universe itself, an endeavor that leads him along a philosophical mobius strip wrapped around the world as tightly as a wedding ring.  
    A love story, in other words.  
    DANGER! THIS NOVEL CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF: Hallucinatory drugs, self-loathing, time-warpage, and numerous flashbacks. Also: fifty-eight instances of the word fuck.

    Fueled by cheap vodka and low standards in her twenties, Jana naively assumes that “happily ever after” is just a dark, sweaty nightclub away. 
      
    In this memoir, Jana meets men. A lot of men — at bars, online, on New York rooftops. But with every face-licker, toe-sucker, and internet creep who just wants to bathe with her, it becomes clearer that hers is a ghost story, not the fairy tale she expected. Still single in her thirties, with the specter of loneliness looming, she realizes she’ll need to adjust her approach to dating and her relationship with herself, or risk being haunted by the mistakes of her dating past, and a future of shirtless bathroom selfies. 
      
    Though Ghosted by Jana Eisenstein depicts the struggle to find lasting love in a world where romantic connections are ephemeral and difficult to conjure, at its heart, it’s a story about learning to accept that when it comes to dating, there are scarier fates than ending up alone.

    Did You Know ?Even though one pound of feathers and one pound of lead are known to have the same weights, it was said that lead felt heavier when people tested it.The color of the medications we take can subconsciously influence how we believe they will work. Even if the pills are nothing more than a placebo, the colors scheme fools our brain and body into thinking we've taken anything active. And, that, my friend, is how we are fooled by science.Typically, when female dogs poop, they automatically arrange themselves to face either north or south. They act this way because they are sensitive to the magnetic field of the Earth.Water has a triple point. Or, to put it another way, it may both freeze and boil at the same time.
