Sinossi

It starts with a small, physical fact. A dryness at the back of the throat. A joint that clicks. A sound from inside a wall.
 
This is not a book about being sick. It is a book about being here. In this chair. With a body that keeps its own time, measured in flare-ups and bad days, not calendars. It is a record of the small negotiations—the journey to the kitchen, the weight of a glass, the texture of paper, the memory of a voice.
 
There are no lessons here. No clean arcs or moments of clarity. There is only the hum of the refrigerator, the voice from a podcast about geology, and the insistent presence of a world that continues on outside the window. An unflinching and fragmented collection of essays, An Echo in the Plaster is an intimate, real-time account of a body that has become a stranger, and the thoughts that fill the silence.

    P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.  Collected here are three of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" tales - including ten short stories from the anthology "Carry On, Jeeves," as well as the complete novels "The Inimitable Jeeves" and "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. ("Carry On, Jeeves" also features the only Wooster and Jeeves story narrated by Jeeves himself!)   Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Madeline Bassett, Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These three books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

    The Age of Loneliness - Essays

    How do we add to archives of ecological memory? How can we notice and document what’s missing in the landscapes closest to us? In her debut essay collection, Laura Marris reframes environmental loss by setting aside the catastrophic framework of the Anthropocene in favor of that of the Eremocene, the age of loneliness, which is marked by the dramatic thinning of wildlife populations and by isolation between and among species. And yet these essays are filled with wonder and vitality, immersing readers in the strange landscapes of the Eremocene, and in the search for home among the human and more-than-human. 
     
    Vivid, keenly observed, and driven by a lively intelligence and lyrical voice, The Age of Loneliness is an examination of the dangers of loneliness, the surprising histories of ecological loss, and the ways that community science—which relies on the embodied evidence of “ground truth”—can help us recognize, and maybe even recover, what we’ve learned to live without. 
     
    “The Age of Loneliness is a stunning book that will become a close friend, and like all good friends, it will change the shape of our world. Laura Marris has managed that trickiest of feats: she brings the past into the present and reminds us that we’re not yet alone. With prose that calls to mind the best in the tradition of nature writing, but with a voice which is also clearly, distinctly its own, Marris is the writer for our time.”—Daegan Miller

    THE EXORCIST 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY WILLIAM FRIEDKIN 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Exorcist is a 1973 supernatural horror film directed by William Friedkin, based on William Peter Blatty's novel. The story follows Chris MacNeil, an actress whose 12-year-old daughter, Regan, begins exhibiting strange and violent behavior. As doctors fail to find a cause, Chris turns to Father Damien Karras, a Jesuit priest and psychologist, who suspects her daughter may be possessed by a demon. The film explores themes of faith, good versus evil, and the battle for the soul, set against a backdrop of chilling supernatural events, making it one of the most iconic and unsettling horror films in cinema history. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Due to threats against Linda Blair from religious extremists who believed the film glorified Satan, Warner Bros. provided her with bodyguards for six months after the film's release.” 
      
    “On the first day of filming the exorcism sequence, Linda Blair's foul-mouthed dialogue so shocked the gentlemanly Max von Sydow that he forgot his lines.” 
      
    “The Exorcist became Warner Bros.' highest-grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation.” 
      
    “The original teaser trailer, which featured quick flashes of a white-faced demon, was banned in several theaters for being too frightening.” 
      
    “If adjusted for inflation, The Exorcist would still hold the title of the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.”
