"Oddest Human Records" explores the extraordinary world of record-breaking achievements, delving into the motivations and capabilities that drive individuals to pursue the seemingly impossible. The book examines a range of unusual human endeavors, from extreme physical abilities like lifting heavy weights with eyelashes to the dedication required for strange collections, such as amassing thousands of traffic cones. It highlights how these pursuits, while unconventional, reveal profound insights into human nature, our desire for recognition, and our relentless push to break boundaries.

 
The book progresses by examining extreme body abilities, the psychology of unusual collections, and unexpected talents. It showcases individuals who have mastered peculiar skills, challenging conventional notions of giftedness. The exploration is framed within the context of individual determination and societal recognition, considering the influence of record-keeping organizations. These records showcase human potential and challenge us to reconsider our definition of achievement.

    ‘Unseen: The Barefoot Runner’ is the honest and heartfelt story of Pinky Hills’ journey through pain, loss, and healing. In this memoir, Pinky shares her struggles with mental illness, trauma, and grief—things that many people face but few talk about openly.

It conveys a message of hope for anyone who feels unseen or alone.

    Want to know what Vietnam was really like? This is not another war book. These are the personal stories of 100 veterans, ordinary men and women, black and white, real stories from real people in their own words who were caught up in an all too real war. From the Delta to the DMZ, from 1965 to 1975, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Australian, and New Zealanders, come walk in their boots.  
    The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most were just trying to survive. As we all knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad.  
    And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank, job, and race. But whether we were truck drivers, nurses, helicopter pilots, infantryman, clerk typists, medics, engineers, MPs, sailors out on Yankee station, artillerymen, or cooks, from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home. 
     That's the diversity of experience you'll find in this book. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy and you will. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop.

    On a sunny day in a business park near Portland, Oregon, forty-two-year-old web developer Kevin Maloney is in the throes of an existential crisis that finds him shoeless in a field of Queen Anne's lace, reflecting on the tumultuous events that brought him to this moment. Growing up in the suburbs, young Kevin suffered "a psychological break that ripped me from my humdrum existence" mainlining high fructose corn syrup and episodes of The Golden Girls. Thus begins a journey of hard-earned insights and sexual awakening that takes Kevin from angst-ridden Beaverton to the beaches of San Diego, a frontier-themed roadside attraction in Helena, Montana, and a hermetic shack on an organic lettuce farm. 
     
     
     
    Everything changes when Kevin falls in love with Wendy. After a chance tarot reading lands them on the frigid coast of Maine, their lives are unsettled by the birth of their daughter, Zoë, whose sudden presence is oftentimes terrifying, frequently disturbing, and yet—miraculously—always wondrous. 
     
     
     
    The Red-Headed Pilgrim is an irresistible novel of misadventure and new beginnings, of wanderlust and bad decisions, of parenthood and divorce, and of the heartfelt truths we unearth when we least expect it.
