Summary

A Man Without A Country is Kurt Vonnegut's hilariously funny and razor-sharp look at life, art, politics, himself and the condition of the soul of America today. Written over the last five years in the form of a loose memoir, with the examples of Mark Twain, Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, and a saintly doctor named Ignaz Semmelweis powerfully in mind, A Man without a Country is an intimate and tender communication from one individual to his fellow humans - sometimes kidding, at other times despairing, always searching. It is illustrated throughout with Vonnegut's trademark artwork.
Available since: 09/07/2010.
Print length: 160 pages.

    It had been a busy day at work. And Chloe was horny as hell. There was something about the hustle of a chaotic day at the law firm that sent her libido soaring. Instead of being exhausted, she’d leave the office ready for loving. Today was no exception. 
    
    Her plan was to slip into her closet then drape her body with something scandalously hot. If her timing worked out, Rob would come home to find her in the bedroom, splayed across the mattress, ready for a good...
    
    Today she was in the mood for black lace. She spent nearly an hour in the mirror, tugging her negligee into place, brushing her jet black hair over her shoulder and decorating her full lips with a striking shade of red. 
    
    Chloe liked what she saw, but a nagging question echoed through her head: Will this get my husband in the mood? Rob could be something of a slow start - sexually and otherwise. 
    
    Chloe was the fire in the relationship and Rob was the ice-cold water, laid-back, calm, impassive. She was the feisty attorney, always ready for a fight. He was the nerd, face always buried in a book or a newspaper. They laughed about their differences and they jokingly called themselves "the odd couple." But when those differences left Chloe cold and empty, it was no laughing matter.
    
    Inspecting herself more closely in the mirror...

Her body has unfinished business with Patrick, the man who saved her life six years ago. For a long time she assumed her potent feelings for Patrick were born of fear, wrapped up in the night she was attacked, but now she's realizing it's far simpler than that. She wants him. Always has, always will.More attached to Robin than the idea of her being faithful, Jay gives her the green light to go after Patrick in the hopes that it will demystify the man and get him out of Robin's system. It begs the question-if you've got permission, is it still cheating? And which will ultimately sway the heart-reason or attraction?Reader Advisory: Robin makes some decisions that might seem to stray into the realm of infidelity . . . but with a temptation like Patrick, who could blame her?

    “Claw me, bite me, love me… Under every known star I’m going to love you.” This is Starlight Ecstasy, the sex-fever of the felinus shifters that burns brighter than a supernova in the Starlight series by award-winning, best-selling author, Astrid Cooper. Humans have spread out across the galaxy, playing and loving among the stars, their sexual appetites and willingness to experiment have made them a sought-after species; they have taken their place among the elite of the sensualators—men and women who devote their lives and bodies to gifting pleasure…and the felinus and their promise of “starlight ecstasy” are the envy of every sentient being in the universe.
