  A Comic History Of Rome - A Wry...

  Forget dusty textbooks and noble senators. The real history of Rome is a chaotic, blood-soaked circus of power-crazed maniacs, backstabbing politicians, and enough megalomaniacs in togas to outfit a farce. 
  Behind the marble pillars and glittering triumphs lay a world of two-faced demagogues and ruthless ambition. Gilbert Abbott A Beckett’s legendary Comic History of Rome drags the Eternal City’s glorious past into the gloriously witty gutter where it belongs. 
  This is history as the finest form of satire. Witness the original sibling rivalry between Romulus and Remus, which ended—like so much in Rome—in betrayal. From the daring escape of Cloelia from the Etruscan camp to the grim reality of the gladiatorial arena, no sacred cow is left unskewered. A Beckett’s narrative, both “compendious and correct,” guides you through the chaos with dry, avuncular wit, suggesting we take the reign of Romulus with “an entire cellar of salt.” 
  Now, listen as the venerable figures of antiquity are revived in all their farcical glory: eavesdrop on the Senate’s petty squabbles, follow Hannibal’s troublesome Alpine holiday, and endure the terrible poetry and even worse governance of Emperor Nero. The original illustrations are vividly brought to life through the narrator's sharp performance, preserving the unique charm of this classic. 
  So, don your metaphorical laurel wreath and ready your laughter. This audiobook invites you to experience the hilarious rise and fall of an empire—a story far richer, and funnier, than any textbook would ever dare admit.

  Another perfect holiday read with lots of romance and laugh out loud comedy, Chasing Victory is the fourth entry in the Dartmouth Diaries. 
   
  Kit Davies has been dating the gorgeous Captain Jason Buchannan for six months. Six whole months of being wheeled out as his significant other at various Naval functions. While she's not convinced she has the makings of a future Officer's wife, things have been pretty good, and at least she hasn't caused a diplomatic incident - yet. 
   
  Then one memorable evening, Jason drops a bombshell. His father’s health is failing and he wants to retire from the Royal Navy, and relocate to his crumbling ancestral home in the wilds of Scotland. And he wants Kit to go with him. 
   
  But Kit has too much unfinished business in Dartmouth to just up sticks and leave. She’s worked hard to build up her Event Management business, then there’s her best friend Tory who’s just had a baby, and her Aunt Flo who to date still hasn’t told Kit the whole truth about her father. 
   
  When Hollywood superstar Noah Westbrook agrees to help finance Jason’s plans to convert his pile of ruins into a luxury hotel, Kit begins to get desperate. How can she leave everything she’s ever known for a man she’s only known for six months? It’s no secret that she has trust issues, not to mention a ridiculous fear of change. In fact, burying her head in the sand is probably her strongest talent... 
   
  Decision time comes as Jason’s father Hugo goes missing from hospital. It’s no surprise to anyone that Tory’s irresponsible father is at the bottom of it, but in deciding to drag his old friend on an impromptu road trip across the country, the meddling Admiral may finally have gone too far… 
   
  Chasing Victory is the perfect laugh-out-loud, feel good book for fans of funny love stories, especially quirky British Romantic Comedies.

  Hailey’s Exploitation: A Cute Freshman, Her Lecherous Tutor, and His Horny Son.  An ENF Story of Submission and Shame. Freshman Hailey O’Brien is one cute little honey—and Professor Alec Larsen can’t keep his dirty mind and hungry eyes off her. That’s why he’s been so willing to give her extra help for all these weeks—for which Hailey is very grateful. Sadly, professional protocol prohibits him from laying his equally hungry hands on her.
   
  But his son Oliver can.
   
  Poor Oliver. Alec’s freshman son doesn’t stand a chance with women—certainly not a beauty like Hailey. He’s awkward, gangly, and homely to a fault. There is absolutely no way this kid would ever be able to even be noticed by a girl like Hailey, let alone score with her.
   
  Well, this gives Professor Larsen an idea. A very dirty idea.
   
  Capitalizing on Hailey’s plan to become a social worker, he informs her that she could be of great “service” to this poor, awkward boy by letting him get in a little “practice” on her. Talking, kissing, that sort of thing.
   
  Well, even that is a bit much for Hailey to agree to—until her kindly professor reminds her that he has, after all, given her a whole lot of free help all semester. And one generous deed deserves another. Finally, she agrees.
   
  But that’s only because Hailey doesn’t realize that talking and kissing are just for starters.
   
  Professor Larsen is far too perverted—and Oliver is far too horny—to be satisfied with a bit of kissing. Much to this quivering young woman’s shock, she is about to offer Oliver a whole lot more than her sweet lips!
   
  Oliver is about to become very educated. And his dad is about to one heck of a good time himself! Especially after Hailey’s very tight jeans come off!
   
  Fans of ENF erotica featuring beautiful, young, submissive college chicks who find themselves in the most embarrassing, debasing, humiliating situations imaginable—this one is for you!

  There's no wrong way to be a woman. There are countless wrong ways to be a man. 
   
   
   
  James Breakwell should know. He's tried just about all of them. Journalism. Pig ownership. Felony lawn gnome theft. Whatever masculinity is supposed to be, this can't be it. But can you really fail at something no one can quite define? Apparently. 
   
   
   
  Now, in a series of funny, sharply observed, and occasionally poignant essays, everyone's favorite internet-famous father of four daughters lays down a lifetime of lessons in what it means to be a man. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll wonder what really happened to those creepy lawn gnomes on that deserted country road. (Spoiler alert: They're right behind you.) 
   
   
   
  If you ever wanted to know how to fail at altruism, dodge the priesthood, and stumble your way into unexpected wisdom, this book is for you. 
   
   
   
  How to Be a Man (Whatever that Means) presents a vision of manhood that looks very different from what you'll see on TV. And that's a good thing. Probably.

  The Thesmophoriazusae

  The Thesmophoriazusae, or Women Celebrating the Thesmophoria , is a comedy by Aristophanes that satirizes gender relations, religion, and the power of women in ancient Greek society. The plot centers on Euripides, who fears that the women of Athens—gathered to honor the goddess Demeter at the all-female Thesmophoria festival—will punish him for portraying them negatively in his tragedies. To secure his safety, he enlists his father-in-law Mnesilochus to infiltrate the festival disguised as a woman. Chaos ensues when Mnesilochus is caught, leading to a series of farcical escapes, witty wordplay, and sharp literary parody. Through slapstick humor and biting satire, Aristophanes critiques both Euripides’ dramatic themes and the social norms surrounding gender and religious ritual, making The Thesmophoriazusae a clever and provocative exploration of art, identity, and societal critique in classical Athens.
