Something That Happened

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, Something That Happened offers a hilarious and heartwarming escape. With his keen eye for absurdity and his knack for finding humor in the mundane, Matt takes readers on a journey through the trials and tribulations of modern life.

From his daily commute on the New York City subway, where he encounters a cast of eccentric characters and ponders the meaning of life, to his soul-crushing office job, where he battles boredom and bureaucracy, Matt finds adventure and enlightenment in the most unlikely of places. He explores the vastness of the internet, getting lost in endless rabbit holes of information and marveling at the power of technology. He navigates the ups and downs of relationships, from the excitement of new love to the heartbreak of breakups, and searches for true connection in a world that often feels isolating.

Matt's travels take him to far-flung corners of the globe, where he encounters different cultures and ways of life, and gains a new appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the world. He indulges in culinary delights, exploring the culture and politics of food, and ponders the future of food in a changing world. He confronts the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, and searches for hope in the face of these daunting threats.

Through it all, Matt searches for meaning in life, exploring different philosophies and perspectives, and ultimately finding his own unique path to fulfillment. He embraces the unknown, accepts the inevitability of death, and finds beauty in the uncertainty of existence.

Something That Happened is a collection of essays that will make you laugh, think, and appreciate the absurdity of everyday life. Matt's humor and his unique perspective on the world will stay with you long after you finish reading.

1961 Greenwich Village; a Fable...

Gary Warren

1961 Greenwich Village; a Fable

Fun Times in a Dystopic Hellscape

Martina Fetzer

The road to Hell is paved through Indiana.
When a funeral calls, paranormal detectives Arturo Brooks and Edward Smith pack their physical and emotional baggage and take a road trip to Smith’s hometown. Mistake #1.
On a tip, they begin investigating a multidimensional business conglomerate. Mistake #2.
The detectives soon find themselves in a parallel universe that’s even worse than their original destination. One with a lot more leg warmers.
Can Brooks and Smith survive the 1980s a second time, in a world where giant rats, doppelgangers, and their own worst instincts rally against them? Can they do it on a diet of nothing but chain restaurant biscuits? They’ll need to if they’re going to find their way home.
That's assuming they still have one.
About the Series
From the mind of award-winning author* Martina Fetzer, the Brooks & Smith series brings fast-paced science fiction and fantasy with an emphasis on humor. It follows two detectives and their makeshift family on a series of increasingly absurd adventures. These books are often silly, sometimes dark, and never child friendly. Fun Times in a Dystopic Hellscape is Book #4.
*1996, 1997, 1998 Oakview Elementary Perfect Attendance Award
About the Audiobook
Narrated by James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros., Difficult People, The Fabelmans), Fun Times in a Dystopic Hellscape will have you laughing out loud. It is not recommended that you listen while operating heavy machinery or attempting to train a dinosaur.

Apology for Idlers and Other...

Robert Louis Stevenson

An Apology for Idlers and Other Essays 
Justifying his rejection of an established profession, in 1877 Stevenson offered An Apology for Idlers. 
"A happy man or woman", he reasoned, "is a better thing to find than a five-pound note. He or she is a radiating focus of goodwill" and a practical demonstration of "the great Theorem of the Liveableness of Life". So that if they cannot be happy in the "handicap race for sixpenny pieces", let them take their own "by-road". 
A beautiful, charming and lyrical collection of good humored essays by the beloved writer of the classics Treasure Island, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verse.
