The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens...

Jerry Torre, Tony Maietta

The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is Jerry Torre's touching and at times haunting memoir about his teenage days as caretaker of Grey Gardens, the now-celebrated mansion chronicled in the iconic documentary Grey Gardens and two feature-length films. The book, co-written with film historian Tony Maietta, is a behind-the-scenes look at "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" and their bizarre and reclusive life of squalor amidst the tremendous wealth of East Hampton, the family bond that developed between Jerry and them, and the day everything was turned upside down forever with the arrival of documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. 
 
 
 
What begins as a teenager coming upon what he assumed was an old, abandoned house takes on new dimensions when suddenly Edie appears on the porch draped in a shower curtain with an apron tied around her head. "You must be the Marble Faun," she tells the stunned Jerry. Rather than chasing him away as he at first feared, she invites Jerry to meet her mother upstairs. So begins a strange, unusually close friendship with the two women as Jerry takes on the task of volunteer gardener, often sleeping in their living room and staying out of mother-daughter arguments. The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is Jerry's look back on the filming of Grey Gardens but also how the notoriety the movie achieved changed his life along with the Beales's.

Position of Power - How to Win...

Warren MCFADDEN

Chapter 1
How to regain your power after begging and pleading
How can you regain the power back after doing all the begging and pleading and crying and all that shit like that?
when you are begging and pleading and crying, understand that’s natural. It’s called the fear of loss, you have the fear of losing something. You might not notice that the person already mentally checked out on you for whatever reason only they can tell you.
This is what you can do to regain your power back:
1. Stop all that- because it’s not going to do any good. The more you beg and plead and do all this nice stuff and jump though all these monkey ass hoops for this person, they don’t care, they are not there mentally, their mind gone, so the best thing for you to do is stop, just stop. That’s the first thing you can do to start regaining your power back, stop all that.
2. Then what you want to do is Become independent- the more you don’t need that person, the more that person wants you. It’s backwards, its nature, it is set up that way. The more you don’t want something the more you get it. Kind of like rich people, they get richer because they are already rich, they are not working for money. But what I’m trying to tell you is this, when you don’t need them and you are self-reliant, and you are independent and you don’t need them for absolutely nothing, they’ll want you. Now this goes in business, whatever area of your life you want to place it in, when you don’t need it there it is. Really this is how you operate from a position of power, always remember people want what they can't have.

Erwin Rommel and the Afrika...

Editors Charles River

One of his biographers called him “a complex man: a born leader, a brilliant soldier, a devoted husband, a proud father; intelligent, instinctive, brave, compassionate, vain, egotistical, and arrogant.” As that description suggests, every account of Erwin Rommel’s life must address what appears to be its inherent contradictions. Fittingly, and in the same vein, he remains one of the best remembered generals of World War II and history at large, despite the fact he was on the losing side, and he was defeated at the most famous battle of his career, the decisive Battle of El Alamein. 
With the Axis forces trying to push through Egypt towards the Suez Canal and the British Mandate of Palestine, American forces landed to their west in North Africa, which ultimately compelled Rommel to try to break through before the Allies could build up and overwhelm them with superior numbers. Given that the combined Allied forces under Bernard Montgomery already had an advantage in manpower, Montgomery also wanted to be aggressive, and the fighting would start in late October 1942 with an Allied attack. At Alamein, 195,000 troops in 11 divisions faced off against 50,000 Germans (four divisions) and 54,000 Italians (eight divisions), where they were able to use their superior numbers and weapons to defeat the Axis troops. Over the next few weeks, the Allies made steady progress and forced Rommel to conduct a fighting retreat to safety until his army linked up with another Axis army in Tunisia, but the fighting at the end of 1942 inevitably compelled all Axis forces to quit the theater, the first time since the beginning of the war that Africa was safe for the Allies. 
After leaving North Africa, Rommel spent much of the later part of the war strengthening German defenses across the Atlantic in anticipation of an amphibious Allied landing, which would come in June 1944.

The Joyous Cosmology -...

Alan W. Watts, Richard Alpert,...

A classic account of the psychedelic experience 
 
 
 
The Joyous Cosmology is Alan Watts's exploration of the insight that the consciousness-changing drugs LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin can facilitate "when accompanied with sustained philosophical reflection by a person who is in search, not of kicks, but of understanding." More than an artifact, it is both a riveting memoir of Watts's personal experiments and a profound meditation on our perennial questions about the nature of existence and the existence of the sacred.
