This Book Is Terrible

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

Welcome to the literary phenomenon that will change the way you perceive the world: This Book Is Terrible. Prepare yourself for a wild and wacky ride through the realm of the dreadful, the deplorable, and the downright awful. This book is not for the faint of heart, nor is it intended for those who seek solace and comfort in the written word. Rather, it is a clarion call to those who revel in the macabre, who find beauty in the grotesque, and who embrace the darkness that lurks within the human psyche.

Within these pages, you will encounter a diverse tapestry of topics, each more appalling than the last, guaranteed to leave you cringing in horror, recoiling in disgust, and questioning the very fabric of reality. From the quotidian annoyances of everyday life to the unfathomable tragedies that plague our world, no stone will be left unturned in our quest to uncover the boundless depths of human misery.

Prepare to be shocked, horrified, and perhaps even amused as we traverse the treacherous terrain of human misery. Encounter tales of woe and despair, of suffering and sorrow, that will challenge your perceptions of reality and leave an indelible mark upon your soul. But fear not, dear reader, for amidst the darkness, there glimmers a flicker of hope, a beacon of light that pierces through the gloom.

By acknowledging the depths of human suffering, we gain a profound appreciation for the joys and wonders that life has to offer. By confronting the worst that humanity has to offer, we can steel ourselves against adversity and emerge from the abyss with a renewed sense of purpose and resilience.

So, dear reader, I implore you to embark on this literary expedition with an open mind and a stout heart. Prepare to be shocked, horrified, and perhaps even amused as we traverse the treacherous terrain of human misery. For within these pages, you will find a reflection of our collective experiences, a testament to the indomitable spirit that resides within us all.

Jonathan Swift's A Modest...

Jonathan Swift

"A Modest Proposal" is author Jonathan Swift's infamous and shocking satirical essay in which he suggests that the plight of the poor in Ireland could be eased if they simply agreed to sell their children to the elites of society to be used as food.   
Swift, disgusted by the apparent disdain and apathy exhibited by the ruling classes over the sufferings of the poor in Ireland used this essay to lampoon and attack the Protestant leaders, whose anti-Catholic policies were causing hardship and famine in his own country. A classic use of Juvenalian satire (wherein the objects of the satire are made to appear monstrous and heartless), "A Modest Proposal" has become such a famous treatise that the title itself has become a synonym for such satire today.   
Swift's brilliant and hard-hitting essay is presented here in its original and unabridged format and includes a brief biography of Jonathan Swift.

Marlee's Correction - A Sweet...

J.C. Cummings

Everybody makes mistakes. Even people as sweet, innocent, and well-behaved as Marlee Sanders. When this cute freshman is hired by her sociology professor to detail his car—and his car happens to be a very expensive sparkle-red Dodge Viper—well, even Marlee can buckle under the strain of temptation!

She just can't help it. She’s just so in love with this car. And she would give just about anything for just one chance to take that beauty out for a spin!

So, after her professor and his two college-age sons, Connor and Evan, go off to play golf, leaving her alone with the car, Marlee gives in to her desire. For the next hour, she is thrilled out of her mind as she cruises along the nearby highways and byways.

Until it starts to rain and snaps Marlee out of her reverie. She hurries back and starts to work on the car...

And not a minute too soon, for, just then, her professor and his sons return home from their rained-out golf game!

And they can plainly see that she’s done very little work on the car. Worse, while she’s in the bathroom, they check the odometer, and—uh, oh—they can also see that, in their absence, Marlee took their prized car for a joyride.

Marlee is in big trouble.

But she has no idea how big until her professor informs her that her punishment will consist of a bare-bottom spanking with all of them watching.

Lying across his knee, Marlee endures the worst humiliation of her life.

Then, even worse, her professor invites Connor and Evan to have a turn.

But her pain is short-lived, for when Evan has his turn, he can't bring himself to actually spank her—opting instead for gentle caresses and love-pats.

Apparently, Evan is the only one of the three with any measure of compassion, gentleness, and kindness.

And that is precisely why, when everything is all over, he finds himself being rewarded in the most erotically gratifying ways he ever could have imagined!

What the Hell - How Wittgenstein...

Sophia Blackwell

Finally, a philosophy book that won't make you contemplate throwing yourself into the abyss! " WHAT THE HELL" tears into Ludwig Wittgenstein—history's most insufferable genius—with savage wit and zero academic pretension. 
Journey through the mind-bending contradictions of a trust-fund philosopher who claimed to solve all philosophical problems (twice!), while making everyone around him miserable. Discover how a man who couldn't maintain a single healthy relationship somehow revolutionized our understanding of language, meaning, and communication. 
From his early days writing numbered lists so pretentious they make Instagram influencers look humble, to his later career interrupting people to tell them they're using words wrong, this book exposes Wittgenstein in all his paradoxical glory. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question whether language has any meaning at all—just like Ludwig wanted! 
Whether you're a philosophy student desperately seeking comic relief, or simply enjoy watching neurotic geniuses get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide proves that even the most profound philosophical insights can come from someone you'd absolutely hate to be seated next to at dinner. Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting in libraries and concerned looks from serious academics.
