Some Very Short Stories

Kurt Stern

Casa editrice: Grosvenor House Publishing

Sinossi

It is the author’s intention to keep these “Very Short Stories” as brief as possible so as not to bore the reader, rewarding him with a surprise and a twist in each one. All the events described are fiction. The author was privileged to live in different continents and countries enabling him to refer to a variety of mentalities yet proving that the sense of humor prevailing in each story is common to all sections of human nature. The reader will enjoy the surprising narratives, most of them with a twist at the end.

Free-Range Knitter - The Yarn...

Stephanie Pearl-McPhee

The author of Yarn Harlot returns with more hilarious personal stories about all the ups and downs of being a knitter. 
 
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (a.k.a. the Yarn Harlot) returns to pen another hilarious, insightful, and poignant collection of essays surrounding her favorite topics: knitting, knitters, and what happens when you get those two things anywhere near ordinary people. Free-Range Knitters shares stories of knitting horrors and triumphs and knitting successes and defeats, but, mostly, it shares stories about the human condition that ring true for everyone—especially if you have to have a rather large amount of yarn in your house. 
 
Praise for Yarn Harlot 
 
“Stephanie Pearl-McPhee turns both typical and unique knitting experiences into very funny and articulate prose.” —Meg Swansen, Schoolhouse Press 
 
“I laughed until my stitches fell helplessly from my needles!” —Lucy Neatby, author of Cool Socks Warm Feet 
 
“A sort of David Sedaris-like take on knitting—laugh-out-loud funny most of the time and poignantly reflective when it’s not cracking you up.” —Library Journal

The Wait Album - more of the best

Peter Sagal, Carl Kasell

Each week, more than three million listeners tune into Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me! to test their knowledge of the week’s news. In the popular “Not My Job” segment, a celebrity guest must answer three questions on a topic totally outside his or her area of expertise. The topic seems random but is thoughtfully skewed. 
Because Henry Winkler played Fonzie on Happy Days, host Peter Sagal asks him about Ponzi schemes. For indie rock singer Neko Case, the questions are about Necco Wafers. Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. holds the record for most consecutive games played; the Wait Wait team pitches him stumpers about sports’ real streakers—those without clothes. Jane Goodall, who studies wild chimpanzees, is met with questions about actor Nicolas Cage. And so on. Twisted and tricky, it’s all in good fun for panelists, celebrities, and especially the audience.Contents:Introduction by Peter SagalNeko CaseHenry WinklerCal Ripken, Jr.Tavi GevinsonMike RoweBrian WilliamsJane GoodallGeorge Porter, Jr.Susan OrleanVince Gill
