  We - The book that inspired...

  In a utopian future society, where all social unrest has been engineered away, a man has an awakening. Starting as a happy worker drone, he meets a woman who reveals to him the reality of life outside the state's control - the glories of chaotic nature in the world and in the heart. They become entwined with a conspiracy against the state, and eventually try to escape beyond the walls of the state's control... only to meet betrayal, failure, and a dark ending in the glorious light of the state's total control. 
  Sound familiar? It's probably because you've read Orwell's nineteen eighty-four, which he wrote eight months after he read We, wrote a review of it, and said he was taking it as the model for his next novel. Or Huxley's Brave New World. 
  Or maybe you've read Vonnegut's Player Piano, which of Vonnegut said he "cheerfully ripped off the plot of Brave New World, whose plot had been cheerfully ripped off from Yevgeny Zamyatin's We". You might even have come across other plays on the theme, such as Ayn Rand's Anthem or Vladimir Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading, written while Nabakov was reading We. Or even possibly Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed. 
  The tale is familiar, but the satirical and farcical comedy is a delight all of its own.

  The author of How Not to Become a Little Old Lady returns with a guide to recognizing the signs and symptoms of being a grumpy old guy!A crotchety old man decided to wash his sweatshirt. He threw it in the washing machine and yelled to his wife, “What setting do I use?” His wife asked, “What does it say on the shirt?” He yelled back, “University of Texas.” If this man sounds like someone you know, chances are he’s a crotchety old man! We all have a crotchety old man in our lives. Maybe he’s your father, your grandfather, your brother, your husband—or (though you'd never admit it) even you! Crotchety old men stand in the middle of the kitchen and say “Where’s the butter?” They buy cans of broken cashews because they’re cheaper. They yell at news anchors on television, and believe “You look OK” is a compliment. This lighthearted celebration of grumpy old men provides 250 hilarious truths about cranky, crusty old guys who would rather spend days trying to build something than read the instructions. Also included is charming and humorous art by Adrienne Hartman.
