  Mince Pie is a compilation of humorous sketches, poetry, and essays written by Christopher Morley. Morley sets the tone in the preface: "If one asks what excuse there can be for prolonging the existence of these trifles, my answer is that there is no excuse. But a copy on the bedside shelf may possibly pave the way to easy slumber. Only a mind "debauched by learning" (in Doctor Johnson's phrase) will scrutinize them too anxiously."

  Meet Dr. Nancy Beach, a relationship counselor who hosts a local radio show called Love’s a Beach. One problem: the relationship guru can’t seem to make her own relationships work, sending her credibility and ratings into the toilet. 
  Meet Jacob Cope, a walking thesaurus of phobias, a Lehman Brothers casualty who’s lost his job and swagger and now yearns to be a ventriloquist. 
  When Nancy and Jacob are set up on a blind date and hit it off, their siblings, desperate to be rid of them, encourage the young couple to move in together. When the honeymoon stage abruptly ends, Jacob attempts to mend the fence by adopting a dog, a big dog, and Nancy flips out—until she realizes the dog trainer’s techniques can be used to housebreak Jacob and save her radio career.

  Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story...

  Herman Melville

  In the shadowy chambers of a Wall Street law office, a quiet copyist named Bartleby enters the scene—and refuses to leave. Hired for his precision and calm demeanor, Bartleby soon begins replying to every request with the haunting refrain: "I would prefer not to." 
  As his passive resistance deepens into total withdrawal, the lawyer who employs him becomes increasingly baffled, then obsessed. Melville’s classic novella is both darkly comic and deeply unsettling—a prescient meditation on alienation, mental health, and the silent revolt against the machinery of modern life.

  Good Books are wise counselors. They point out the right way in the devious paths of life. Have we not often stood at the juncture of two roads, the one of righteousness and the other of unfaithfulness, and was it not then that some golden little book acted the part of an opportune adviser and directed us down the highway of truth? Is there one of us who can truthfully say that good books have not been his loyal and trustworthy helpers, his vigilant guardians in life's intricate ways? This unpretentious little book of goodness stories, a companion volume to "Tell Us Another," must speak for itself.This is a charming volume of short stories for Catholic children. In it are 48 stories designed to teach morals and the truths of the faith. (Summary from the introduction to the book and Maria Therese)
