Sinopsis

In "Psmith in the City," P. G. Wodehouse crafts a delightful prose that encapsulates the charm and absurdity of early 20th-century English society. The novel follows the misadventures of the affably enigmatic Psmith, who, upon leaving school, plunges into the financial world of a bustling city. Wodehouse's characteristic blend of humor and wit permeates the narrative, interspersed with sharp observations on class and ambition. His unique literary style, rich in dialogue and characterized by whimsical descriptions, engages the reader in an exploration of friendship and the trials of professional life, all while maintaining an air of light-heartedness that belies the seriousness of its themes. P. G. Wodehouse, a British author renowned for his comic genius, drew inspiration from his own experiences, particularly his time in the banking industry. His ability to weave humor within the context of the social intricacies of Edwardian England is a testament to his keen understanding of human nature. Wodehouse's background and affinity for crafting memorable characters like Psmith illuminate societal norms, capturing the essence of the era while adding a layer of playful irony. This novel is a must-read for anyone seeking a combination of laughter and astute social commentary. Wodehouse's masterful narration invites readers into a world where wit reigns supreme, making "Psmith in the City" not only an enjoyable read but also a nuanced reflection on the pursuit of success amidst life's comic absurdities.

    The Color Tan chronicles Patricia Marie Krentcil's odyssey from Pale Girl to beloved "Tan Mom," who is known around the world today. Patricia's candid, in-depth view of her time before and after becoming the world's foremost tanning celebrity will give readers her perspective as she unveils who Tan Mom really is beneath all that bronzer. The one and only Tan Mom invites her fans to take a look at her life through her eyelash extensions with this unvarnished picture of the tannest woman to ever grace the airwaves. 
    She's more than just a Wack Packer. She's more than just the embodiment of the color burnt umber. She's more than just a chart-topping musical phenom. She's more than just a reality TV star who is always at odds with porn stars. She's Tan Mom, and she's here to set the record straight, like only Tan Mom can. 
    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in possession of good skin must be in want of a tan. In The Color Tan, Patricia gives us a raw, behind-the-scenes look--which may or may not be entirely factual--at the true cost of that SPF-free lifestyle which led to her becoming the iconic superstar she is today.
