Beschreibung

In "Peck's Compendium of Fun," George W. Peck offers a whimsical and engaging collection of humorous anecdotes, witty observations, and playful musings that encapsulate the spirit of late 19th-century America. The book is characterized by its light-hearted prose and clever wordplay, inviting readers to revel in the joys of laughter and amusement. Peck's work is both a reflection of his era's fascination with humor as a social lubricant and an embodiment of the emerging American identity, as it skillfully blends satire, anecdotes, and comical narratives to entertain and provoke thought. George W. Peck was a prominent figure in American humor during his time, known not only as an author but also as a newspaper editor and politician. His life experiences, including his interactions with diverse communities and his sharp observation of everyday life, greatly informed his writing. Peck's unique ability to capture the essence of human folly and his commitment to highlighting the humorous sides of societal norms propelled him to write this delightful compendium, offering a glimpse into the light-hearted sensibilities of his time. "Peck's Compendium of Fun" is a must-read for anyone seeking to escape into a world of humor and joy. It appeals not only to aficionados of classic American humor but also to modern readers looking for timeless wit. With its engaging style and clever narratives, Peck's work reminds us of the enduring power of laughter to connect us across generations.

    Featuring fifty of the absolute worst birds to fly the earth, Kracht identifies each of their most terrible qualities, details exactly why they suck, and shows you why. Including all-new, all-worst fowl, such as: the absolute waste of feathers Cruddy Turdstone (Ruddy Turnstone), the utter a-hole Blank Staring-Eyes Flycrapper (Black Paradise Flycatcher), the outright loser Dowdy Woodfucker (Downy Woodpecker), and many more!

    Have you ever wondered where horse milk vodka comes from? Or how to fight off a mob of Malaysian monkeys? Is it bad luck to wash cow poop off of your shoe? Travel vicariously with Sam across the Orient to find the funny but true answers. 
    Sam savors every local culture he encounters much like Conan O’Brian and the late Anthony Bourdain—embracing the people, their food, and especially their curiosities. His humor and infatuation with humanity’s diversity fuel each story. 
    Teaching in Korea and Vietnam since 2015, Sam uses his time out of the classroom to explore the rest of Asia. His five-book series, Itchy Feet Travel Tales in Asia, covers his adventures (and misadventures) in Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. 
    Narrated by the author, these stories of the sublime and the surreal will have you giggling and gawking as you follow Sam through the weird and wonderful world of the East.

    A dark comedy about how to live your best life, even when you're dead.  
     
    Stacey was trying to live her best life, but now she’s dead. But why hasn't she passed on? Could it be her fatal car accident is actually murder? 
    Detectives Ed Beaufontaine and Rose Garafino have a long list of suspects, chief among them Stacey's fiancé, Liam. His business dealings and new relationship with Emily Jackson are raising a few eyebrows. As the detectives dig deeper, so does Stacey. 
    With nothing but time on her hands, she forensically examines her past relationships – her pathological ex, unreliable father, controlling psychologist, and toxic girlfriends – realising she might have been better off without them. She's hoping she can steer the detectives in the right direction before she's doomed to wander for eternity. 
    Because in the city of angels and 12 step programs, even the dead need a little help from time to time.
