  Notes for My Eulogist is not a book about dying or even being dead. It is a love story for life - an articulate and frequently poetic celebration of our differences, our similarities, and the common experiences that unite us as human beings. 
  It is a book about telling our stories, out loud, as we live them. The storytelling is simple and approachable, but the language is lush and rendered in passages you will want to read over and over, and memorable lines that will echo in your mind long after you close the book. 
  Inside you will find lots of short and funny stories, relatable and revealing anecdotes, and a bit of something for everyone. It is as much a conversation with the author as it is a memoir. 
  Whether you read this collection straight through or in pieces, take your time - there is a lot of life to be found in these pages.

  Rites of Passage was created with revolutionary production values to be a unique experience unlike any audiobook that preceded it. It's not an audio version of a book that's read. It's a symphony of stunning sound effects with a musical score featuring the Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love along with 82 pieces of world-wide music that completely immerses the listener in a hilarious coming of age, romantic adventure cast with 26 actors who actually sound like 37 comic characters caught in the midst of the Sexual Revolution in the backwoods of Mendocino, dodging the Vietnam War, in the late 1960's where everyone is trying to figure out what to do with their lives.

  Spinning Karma - A Buddhist Comedy

  Can a New Age guru save his cult without losing his soul? 
  Spinning Karma is the story of Rinpoche Edward Schwartz, reluctant figurehead of Mind of Pure Enlightenment (MOPE), a once-popular New Age group whose current membership has sunk to an all-time low. In an ill-conceived effort to bring the group and its teachings back into the limelight, Schwartz heads to Taiwan to film a fake “religious oppression” video - starring a group of clueless language students who believe that they're taking part in an English conversation class.    
  The video goes viral and the scheme succeeds beyond Schwartz's wildest expectations, triggering a media-driven propaganda war between the United States and China that spins out of control. Before long, everybody from spiritual seekers in China and America, to an ambitious presidential contender, to the Chinese government itself wants a piece of MOPE…and of Schwartz. 
  Set in an exotic, untapped location, this erudite, offbeat, East-meets-West farce features characters and situations ripped straight from the headlines, gently mocking religious intolerance, the social media-driven news cycle, and the often confusing “Frenemies with benefits” relationship between America and China.

  In this unexpectedly hilarious social novel, a misguided thirty-something tries to beat his girlfriend at her own game: becoming the ultimate feminist 
  When he first meets Najwa at a lecture by Siri Hustvedt—whom he’s never read—our hero discovers a whole new world of feminist thought. 
  Determined to impress her, he sets out sincerely on his journey to allyship. His mother confides in him about the dreams she had to sacrifice because of the patriarchy, and he laments the violence and oppression women face. But he can’t help but notice that they’re going about their activism the wrong way. 
  So our hero does what any good ally should: he gathers the worst of the macho men in town and begins a campaign to provoke the feminists. By “putting them in their place” with this phallic club—pelting demonstrators with raw eggs, posting obscene, threatening manifestos—he is convinced he can make women understand and get them to fight harder for the cause. 
  Following him as his plan spectacularly fails, The Ally mixes humor, clever storytelling, and hard-core feminist theory to lampoon the macho superiority complex and our modern gender wars.

  With an uncommonly astute eye for the absurd details that comprise your average American, Charles Portis brings to life Jimmy Burns, an expatriate American living in Mexico. For a time, Jimmy spent his days unearthing  
  preColumbian artifacts. Now he makes a living doing small trucking jobs and helping out with the occasional missing-person situation—whatever it takes to remain “the very picture of an American idler in Mexico, right down to the grass-green  
  golfing trousers.” But Jimmy’s laid-back lifestyle is being seriously imposed upon by a ninety-pound stalker named Louise, whose particular fascination with Jimmy is a mystery to him. Add to this a sudden wave of hippies led by a murderous excon  
  guru in search of psychic happenings, archaeologists unearthing (illegally) the Mayan tombs, and Louise and her weirdo husband’s quest for UFO landing sites, and Jimmy’s simple south-of-the-border existence is facing clear and present danger.
