  The Coloring Book - A Comedian...

  From former SNL "Weekend Update" host and legendary stand-up Colin Quinn comes a controversial and laugh-out-loud investigation into cultural and ethnic stereotypes. Colin Quinn has noticed a trend during his decades on the road-that Americans' increasing political correctness and sensitivity have forced us to tiptoe around the subjects of race and ethnicity altogether. Colin wants to know: What are we all so afraid of? Every ethnic group has differences, everyone brings something different to the table, and this diversity should be celebrated, not denied. So why has acknowledging these cultural differences become so taboo?   In The Coloring Book, Colin, a native New Yorker, tackles this issue head-on while taking us on a trip through the insane melting pot of 1970s Brooklyn, the many, many dive bars of 1980s Manhattan, the comedy scene of the 1990s, and post-9/11 America. He mixes his incredibly candid and hilarious personal experiences with no-holds-barred observations to definitively decide, at least in his own mind, which stereotypes are funny, which stereotypes are based on truths, which have become totally distorted over time, and which are actually offensive to each group, and why.  As it pokes holes in the tapestry of fear that has overtaken discussions about race, The Coloring Book serves as an antidote to our paralysis when it comes to laughing at ourselves . . . and others.

  Moving to My Dog's Hometown -...

  Betsy Vereckey was thirty-seven and newly divorced when she rerouted her life from New York City to a tiny town in New Hampshire that she knew virtually nothing about, except that it was her dog's hometown. She was leaving behind a marriage that had ended, a soulless marketing job, and a Brooklyn apartment overrun with mice. Everything had gone south at once — a particular kind of collapse where the universe is practically yelling at you to take a hint and get your act together. 
  While Betsy's decision to move to New England was motivated by a desperate need for change, along with the fact that she'd been offered a garden apartment she could almost afford, sometimes challenging circumstances and a cosmic hunch lead you right where you're meant to be.  
  At turns humorous and poignant, this memoir tells the tale of a young woman trying to rebuild her life in a new place. It will resonate with dog lovers and readers interested in emotional, intimate tales of self-discovery following life's misfortunes. Whether sharing her experiences with fertility treatment, late-night encounters with bears, bad dates, parental loss, or taking another chance on love, this is an honest, uplifting account of one woman's quest to grow and heal from life's misfortunes.  
  Sometimes you have to make a big change to move forward in life, and sometimes that involves moving to your dog's hometown.
