  Blithely venturing off on their first-ever trip together, the Moore sisters travel to Ireland, England, and Scotland. In their mid-60s, they embark with visions of fun on their horizon when all too quickly reality sets in. One sister learns she must accept her internal GPS in untrustworthy. Another reveals a major mistake in time management. The third volunteers as 'Fixer of All Things' -- a position open as the others lack interest.

Well, most of the time..

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A man, trapped in the void of his life after a failed marriage, books a five-day trip to Pattaya. What starts as an escape quickly descends into a vortex of neon, flesh, and digital phantoms. Guided by anonymous warnings and recommendations from Reddit threads , he navigates the city's sinful streets, from ThaiFriendly dates and the chaotic Soi 6 to excessive parties fueled by drugs and ladyboys. Each day is a new escalation, a deeper plunge into a frenzy that dissolves the boundaries between reality, desire, and self-destruction. "5 Days in Pattaya" is not a travel story; it is the anatomy of a collapse, a mirror reflecting the darkest chasms of the human soul until only an echo remains

  Don't just see the sights―get to know the people. 
   
  Britain is emerging from a decade of historic change. A Scottish bid for independence saw the relationship of the four nations evolve, and the passing of the world's longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, marked the end of an era. Today, as the post-Brexit, post-Covid dust settles, the country is having to redefine itself in a multipolar world. The challenges are many, yet so are the attributes that have enabled the peoples of these islands to find success over adversity time and again: an even-tempered reserve, tolerance, a love of fair play, a certain bloody-mindedness, and a sense of humor that turns misfortune to mirth. British pragmatism and ingenuity have ensured that, despite the setbacks, the country's economy remains the sixth largest in the world. 
   
  This new and updated edition of Britain - Culture Smart! unpacks all this and more. Penetrate the polite veneer of the people, learn about their customs and traditions, become acquainted with their values and attitudes, and your experience of this green and pleasant land will be greatly enriched. 
   
  Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

  Joke Farming - How to Write...

  The winner of four Emmys, a Peabody, and two Writers Guild Awards (all of which badly need dusting) explains his process for writing comedy without going insane. 
    
  Philosophers may debate the meaning of comedy (thankfully keeping them too busy to fall into a life of crime), but the rest of us are more likely to wonder how we can make an audience laugh—or at least, how to entertain our friends and followers. According to award-winning comedy writer Elliott Kalan, we need to stop staring out the window, waiting for hilarious bits to stroll into view, fully formed. What we need is a process to plant their premises, tend to their structure and wording, and ultimately harvest them as funny material. In short, a farm. But for jokes. 
    
  In Joke Farming, Kalan explains that it’s easier to write jokes when you have a dependable method for doing so. All jokes, he argues, are built from the same elements: structure, premise, voice, tone, wording, and audience—and these elements can be applied to any comedic genre, from stand-up to sitcoms to satire. Kalan analyzes examples from his own career—including jokes that he wrote (and rewrote and rewrote and rewrote . . . ) as head writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart—as well as material from a diverse array of comedians, writers, and filmmakers, highlighting the phrasing, rhythm, and precise details that make their work so dang funny. 
    
  Drawing on his experiences in professional writers’ rooms as well as episodes from everyday life, Kalan’s guide to jokes will appeal to aspiring writers, their mentors, comedy fans, and anyone who has to speak at a wedding. Joke Farming points the way toward a writing process that lessens stress and agony and yields more reliable rewards: a surprising tagline, a hilarious word choice, and—most importantly—a bigger laugh from the audience, whoever they may be.
