  Finalist Pacific Book Awards 2018! A celebration of one of the most simple joys in life: the unwitting comedy of children.   Is there anything more likely to make you laugh and put a smile on your face than the innocent and funny remark of a child? Ever since Art Linkletter first published Kids Say the Darndest Things in 1957, people have laughed and been delighted with the things kids say. The Danes have a word for the feeling of happy delight that you get from simple things in life: “hygge.” In I’m So Full of Happy Today: The Hygge Wisdom of Children you will explore many of the hilarious things kids say in our world today, like these quotes:   Dylan, age 5, “Mom, did it hurt much when you gave birth to Daddy?”Keira, age 8, “Being in love is like having a birthday in your stomach.”Miley, age 3, “When I grow up, I want to be pregnant. Or a princess.”Jack, age 5, “Mom, how old were you when you were my age?”  The latest in funny kids books: I’m So Full of Happy Today is a heartwarming collection of the remarkably observant, funny, and wise things said by children, aged two to ten years.

  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.

  "The Chorus Girl" by Anton Chekhov portrays a dramatic encounter between a married woman and a chorus girl named Pasha. As the story unfolds, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, Pasha's adorer, is present in her summer villa. The atmosphere is oppressive due to the heat, and both characters eagerly await the respite of an evening walk. Suddenly, the doorbell rings, surprising Pasha. She expects to find the postman or one of her female friends, but instead, a young and beautiful stranger enters. Clearly distressed, the woman asks if her husband, Nikolay Petrovitch Kolpakov, is present. Pasha denies any knowledge of her husband's whereabouts, leading to a tense exchange between the two women. "The Chorus Girl" delves into themes of deception, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. It highlights the power dynamics between individuals of different social statuses and explores the complex emotions that arise from such encounters. Chekhov's poignant narrative serves as a reflection on human nature and the lingering effects of choices made in moments of desperation. Read in English, unabridged.
