Summary

New costume? Check. Superhero mentor? Check. Government conspiracy to cover up the End of the World? Uh... check? 
  
Luke Gillis is barely dragging himself through school. Who said community college was easy? Of course, it would help if he were more focused on grades and less on becoming a costumed crime fighter.  
  
But who can blame him? Liquor store robberies and rampaging monsters are a hell of a lot more exciting than college algebra. And if Twitter is any indication, his new public image is surging into superstardom! 
  
Okay, let's be honest—it isn't. 
  
But why, then, has the U.S. Army so eagerly scooped up his alter ego—the dashing superhero Spitball—for an urgent, top secret mission? And what does it have to do with the former-hero-turned-outlaw known as the Miracle Worker? 
  
And if this is really Spitball's big break, why is everyone trying to kill him? 
  
Non-stop sci-fi action with the humor of Spider-Man, the gritty noir of Watchmen, and an appetite like The Walking Dead! Don't miss the genre-shattering debut of the Identity Crisis Universe! 
  
See why readers and critics agree: "[Brink's] balancing of character impact against non-stop action is just glorious... Hungry Gods is NOT just your ordinary 'SPLASH!! BAM!! ##*** POW!!' comic event. It's really, really good (and a rereader)." -- Mallory Heart Reviews 
  
Capes aren't just for kids anymore! The Identity Crisis Universe (IDCU) takes the comic books you grew up on, gamma-irradiates them, and sets them loose upon the world! Superhero adventure for grown-ups.Book 1: Hungry GodsBook 2: Secret OriginsBook 3: Deus Ex Machina

    Washington Square

    Washington Square is a short novel by Henry James. Originally published in 1880 as a serial in Cornhill Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine, it is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, domineering father. The book is often compared to Jane Austen's work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. James was hardly a great admirer of Jane Austen, so he might not have regarded the comparison as flattering. In fact, James was not a great fan of Washington Square itself. He tried to read it over for inclusion in the New York Edition of his fiction (1907-1909) but found that he couldn't, and the novel was not included. Other readers, though, have sufficiently enjoyed the book to make it one of the more popular works of the Jamesian canon. (summary from Wikipedia)

    What if Pinocchio and Jesus are the same? 
    What if all that you know about Shakespeare is wrong? 
    Is being blind and rich worth it? 
    Is the world run by a satanic Mouse cult? 
    What is the secret link between the Grimm brothers and Nazism? 
    This book will change your life... provided you read it. Why? It shall show you how humour can adopt the most bizarre shapes ever, whilst in the process helping your mind to look at the world in the most original ways. Interwoven with pearls of mystical-esoteric-alchemical wisdom, this book is an homage to the meta-loving mind, creating worlds within worlds with a common thread: humour and an irreverent attitude with the pedantic and intellectual approach to life and the universe. 
    Like someone once never said: this is like Borges on acid. Or Rumi on nothing. 
    A tour-de-force through the magical delirious realism that only a naturally perturbed mind can conjure. And a read that will perfectly suit those who love to have their brains (and spirits) tickled. 
    A smoothie made with the best (and the worst) of: Gurdjieff, Borges, Shakespeare, Brothers Grimm, Wilde, Shaw, Monty Python, Community, David Foster Wallace, Rumi, Hafiz, Sedaris, Chappelle, Lynch, Ouspensky, Bennett, Frost… and many more.

    Mr Pim Passes By

    A.A. Milne will be forever associated with the timeless "Winnie the Pooh" books. In the Pooh stories and in his poetry for children Milne was able to enter the world of childhood in a unique way. Adults continue to enjoy the books as precious windows into their own childhood memories but also because the writing has a wry and winsome humour that speaks to any age. Yet Milne was a successful writer of humour long before he created these children's masterpieces, producing a fine body of articles, novels and plays. 
    "Mr Pim Passes By" is Milne's own adaptation of his successful play of the same name, first produced in 1919 and running for 246 performances. 
    The somewhat self-centred and over comfortable world of George Marden is suddenly disrupted by the arrival of the somewhat aged and confused Mr Pim. This seemingly routine social visit throws George and his family into a comic situation which raises serious questions about a past determined to rear its disturbing head! 
    Head Stories Audio presents " Mr Pim Passes By" by A. A. Milne - narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.

    Bill Maher first came to national attention as the host of the hit program Politically Incorrect, in which he offered a combustible mixture of irreverence and acerbic humor that garnered him a loyal following. In his popular and long-running HBO television show, Real Time with Bill Maher, his reputation for being a hilarious provocateur continues. One particular segment of the show—             "New Rules"—             strikes a chord with viewers every week. Within these rules, Maher takes comic and serious aim, bringing all his incisiveness, wit, and signature exasperation to bear on topics ranging from cell phones ("I don't need my cell phone to take pictures or access the Internet. I just need to make a phone call!") to the conservative agenda ("Stop claiming it's an agenda. It's not an agenda! It's a random collection of laws that your corporate donors paid you to pass!"). In this collection, Maher brings these brilliantly conceived riffs to audio, along with some singularly Maher-ian "editorials"—             editorials nothing like the standard fare found on the pages of the local newspaper!
