  “A slacker hell [with] a disgruntled, wisecracking protagonist . . . A hilarious send-up of hippies and hipsters” from the author of Permanent Record (Kirkus Reviews).   Addie Prewitt is a copyeditor for the National Association of Libraries. When her boss, the repulsive Coddles, heaps another new project on her department—with no additional remuneration naturally—she decides she’s had enough. While spending her days battling with her roommate about whether Black Sabbath or Neil Diamond will occupy the turntable and her nights beating her overeager suitor away from the door of her boudoir, Addie discovers a piece of vile pornography in Coddles’s dry cleaning. Finally, she has the means to retaliate.   Meanwhile, Fat Bald Jeff, the tech-support guy who has to cope with her mechanical self-sabotage, turns out to be even more disaffected than she, and they hatch the ultimate plan to give the pigs some of their own medicine. With a surreal wit and a keen eye that bring to mind Lily Tomlin set loose in Dilbert-world, Fat Bald Jeff is a sharp satire and a paean to the petty humiliations of workers everywhere.   “Stella provides a lot of freshly imagined fun . . . There are so many funny lines and scenes that even librarians may like it. As for the lumpen—they’ll love it.” —San Francisco Chronicle   “Warm the pockets of your heart watching this bereft waif find a little happiness in life.” —Mademoiselle   “Amusing . . . caustic . . . entertaining . . . Read on company time!” —US Weekly   “A fun, harmless, and quick read. Don’t look for inspiration, just amusement.” —Booklist

  With over three million copies sold, this collection of cowboy wisdom and words to live by is “worthy of a book rustler” (South Bend Tribune).   In the tradition of humorist Will Rogers, Don’t Squat with Your Spurs On takes a look at life through the eyes of the cowboy. It’s filled with quips and quotes that represent the Code of the West, like: “Always drink upstream from the herd” and “The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the harder it is to swallow.”   A modern classic, it’s full of good laughs—and good old-fashioned wisdom.

  Trump's Island - A Gilligan's...

  The year is 1969. The place--somewhere in the Pacific. Following a wild and sexy mishap aboard the Trump family yacht, 23-year-old Donald finds himself on a tropical island which just happens to be inhabited by seven stranded castaways! Among those castaways are two of the most lusted-after lovelies this side of Pago Pago—gorgeous movie star Gina LaPlante and farm girl extraordinaire Mary Lynn Saunders. Well, our future President is sure in a quandary! As much as he wants off the island to return to his life of wealth, a three-way roll in the palm fronds with buxom Gina and sweetly innocent Mary Lynn (who just happens to have, as Donald deems it, the World's Most Beautiful Ass) is even more compelling! 
    This tall tale has it all: comedy, adventure, romance, tropical allure, a touch of drama, mind-blowing titillation, and, of course, the Donald J. Trump brand of bawdy sexual comings and goings. Whether you are a fan of 60s television parodies or present day political satire, travel to a place where the TV cameras of yesteryear, or any year, were never allowed to go! 
  JC Cummings is a happy, hard-working and fun-loving author of adult fiction living the seaside cottage lifestyle in beautiful, sun-drenched North Carolina.

  Full Metal Cardigan is David Emery's first book and chronicles his adventures in social care, from enthusiastic volunteer to feral frontline worker, taking in abusive popstars, chanting cults, drug runs, sectioning a corpse and teaching masturbation to reluctant sex offenders.
  
  He recounts how he gained international notoriety for cheating in a pancake race, encounters with the supernatural, high court appearances, cryogenically frozen kittens, accidentally booking someone into Dignitas, one-inch death punches in Woolworths, jumping out of moving cars, waterboarding, psychotic psychopaths, knife-wielding pregnant women and suicide attempts with rhubarb along the way.
  
  This is a humorous look at life as a social worker: in turns both laugh-out-loud funny and mind-boggling.
