My Lydia--Examined by My Brother...

J.C. Cummings

Poor Lydia Davidson. On the very morning she is about to fly to Europe for a two-week business trip, she gets a call from her angry boss informing her that she neglected to get her travel physical done. He then orders her to get herself to a nearby walk-in clinic--the only one open at this early hour--or risk losing her job.

Poor Brian Davidson. It's bad enough that, due to his beautiful wife’s extreme modesty in the bedroom, he goes through his days sexually frustrated and unfulfilled. But now, she's going away for two weeks, leaving him even more frustrated than usual.

Then, upon arriving at the clinic, Lydia and Brian receive the biggest shock of their lives: The only doctor on duty is Brian's brother Adam. And Adam, who's always been jealous of Brian, isn't about to let a gorgeous and shapely woman like Lydia off without putting her through the works.

In other words, Lydia is about to undergo the most embarrassing, debasing examination imaginable. And talk about comprehensive. Those sticklers in Europe sure are strict with their medical requirements!

And Brian? Well, he isn’t about to go wait out front during this exam--not with his wife naked on the other side of the curtain...and at the hands of his own brother! He peeps in around the edge of the curtain and…

Yowza! There's his wife—assuming positions he would have killed to get her in, driving him mad with desire. And argh! There's his brother--feeling and probing his own wife in ways he'd never been allowed to enjoy.

Lydia is humiliated to the hilt. And Brian is horny and jealous to the hilt. There’s no telling what can happen from here. But one thing is for sure: Brian is not about to walk away from that clinic empty-handed!

The Devils Dictionary

Ambrose Bierce

The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce
A satirical lexicon redefining common words with cynical humor, Bierce critiques human nature, politics, and society. His sharp wit exposes hypocrisy and folly, turning definitions into biting social commentary. This dark, comedic work remains a classic of literary satire and philosophical sarcasm.

Yoga

Emmanuel Carrère

Emmanuel Carrère is a renowned writer. After decades of emotional upheaval, he has begun to live successfully―he is healthy; he works; he loves. He practices meditation, striving to observe the world without evaluating it. In this state of heightened awareness, he sets out for a ten-day silent retreat in the French heartland, leaving his phone, his books, and his daily life behind. But he’s also gathering material for his next book, which he thinks will be a pleasant, useful introduction to yoga.

Four days later, there’s a tap on the window: something has happened. Forced to leave the retreat early, he returns to a Paris in crisis. Life is derailed. His city is in turmoil. His work-in-progress falters. His marriage begins to unravel, as does his entanglement with another woman. He wavers between opposites―between self-destruction and self-control, sanity and madness, elation and despair. The story he has told about himself falls away. And still, he continues to live.

This is a book about one man’s desire to get better, and to be better. It is laced with doubt, animated by the dangerous interplay between what is fiction and what is real. Loving, humorous, harrowing and profound, Yoga hurls us towards the outer edges of consciousness, where, finally, we can see things as they really are.
