Synopsis

In "Three Men on the Bummel," Jerome K. Jerome crafts a delightful continuation of his earlier work, "Three Men in a Boat." This humorous travel narrative follows the misadventures of three friends—J., Harris, and George—as they embark on a cycling tour through the scenic landscapes of Germany. Jerome's literary style is characterized by his witty observations and masterful command of irony, allowing him to explore deeper themes such as friendship, the burdens of travel, and the absurdities of life. This book not only entertains but also serves as a social commentary on Victorian values, capturing the zeitgeist of the era while remaining timeless in its appeal. Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927) was a British author and humorist, whose life experiences—ranging from his dramatic early years to his various professions—shaped his comedic outlook. His keen understanding of the human condition, coupled with his own travel escapades, informs the narrative's rich humor and intellectual insights. The juxtaposition of his characters' buoyant camaraderie against the backdrop of societal expectations reflects his skill in bridging both comedic and insightful storytelling. "Three Men on the Bummel" is highly recommended for readers seeking both humor and the charm of travel literature. Whether you are a fan of classic literature or just in need of a hearty laugh, Jerome's keen wit and relatable characters will leave you pleased and reflective, encouraging you to ponder the absurdities of your own journeys.

    Happy People Are Annoying

    Narrated by Josh Peck 
    A wonderfully candid memoir from one of the most recognizable faces of a generation, actor, writer, Youtuber, and television superstar, Josh Peck. In his warm and inspiring book, Josh reflects on the many stumbles and silver linings of his life and traces a zigzagging path to redemption. Written with such impressive detail and aching honesty, Happy People are Annoying is full of surprising life lessons for anyone seeking to accept their past and make peace with the complicated face in the mirror. 
    Josh Peck rose to near-instant fame when he starred for four seasons as the comedic center of Nickelodeon’s hit show Drake & Josh. However, while he tried to maintain his role as the funniest, happiest kid in every room, Josh struggled alone with the kind of rising anger and plummeting confidence that quietly took over his life. 
    For the first time, Josh reflects on his late teens and early twenties. Raised by a single mother, and coming of age under a spotlight that could be both invigorating and cruel, Josh filled the cratering hole in his self-worth with copious amounts of food, television, drugs, and all of the other trappings of young stardom. Until he realized the only person standing in his way...was himself. Today, with a string of lead roles on hit television shows and movies, and one of the most enviable and dedicated fanbases on the internet, Josh Peck is more than happy, he’s finally, enthusiastically content. 
    Happy People are Annoying is the culmination of years of learning, growing, and finding bright spots in the scary parts of life. Written with the kind of humor, strength of character, and unwavering self-awareness only someone who has mastered their ego can muster, this memoir reminds us of the life-changing freedom on the other side of acceptance.

    Leisure suits! Muscle cars! An annoyingly ethical cocktail-loving alien! Social justice radicals! Time-traveling terrorist music critics! Just like Jane Austen used to write! Why couldn't Alan be cool like people in the '70s? After breaking up with his girlfriend Sheila and unsatisfyingly teaching English in South Korea, he befriends an alien grad student, Coff, who lets him time-travel to swingin' 1967 England to live out his retro-boogie fantasy. But now 70 years old in Edmonton, Canada, Alan takes a chance in meeting Sheila again to confess his past, causing problems in time that Coff will need more than Fleetwood Mac and fuzzy dice to fix. When time-flow conflicts result in them being harassed by university radicals and half-real fictional characters out to prevent Starship from recording "We Built This City" in 1985, Alan, Coff, and Sheila must travel to a San Francisco disco in 1979 for a final showdown against the time-terrorists. Shorter of Breath is an enjoyable romp through expat life in Korea, retro 70's culture, and classic rock music.
