  Zen is a misanthropic grad student of physics and religion who wants to kill his Self before it kills him, if he can figure out where he ends and it begins. His friend Ellie wants to save him but he won’t let her into his life. Her ability to surgically remove a soul’s facade with her penetrating, laser-scalpel eyes terrifies him. She’s every broken piece of him that’s missing, but someone would have to die to get them together. Fortunately, an old friend sends himself on a recon mission to the afterlife, and Zen has to go home to bury what’s left. Ellie insists on coming along to share the driving. There’s just no arguing with her. Will it be a perfect opportunity for her to help him bury his Self along the way or can she save him before it’s too late?

  The astounding yet true rags-to-riches saga of a homeless father who raised and cared for his son on the mean streets of San Francisco and went on to become a crown prince of Wall StreetAt the age of twenty, Milwaukee native Chris Gardner, just out of the Navy, arrived in San Francisco to pursue a promising career in medicine. Considered a prodigy in scientific research, he surprised everyone and himself by setting his sights on the competitive world of high finance. Yet no sooner had he landed an entry-level position at a prestigious firm than Gardner found himself caught in a web of incredibly challenging circumstances that left him as part of the city's working homeless and with a toddler son. Motivated by the promise he made to himself as a fatherless child to never abandon his own children, the two spent almost a year moving among shelters, "HO-tels," soup lines, and even sleeping in the public restroom of a subway station. Never giving in to despair, Gardner made an astonishing transformation from being part of the city's invisible poor to being a powerful player in its financial district. More than a memoir of Gardner's financial success, this is the story of a man who breaks his own family's cycle of men abandoning their children. Mythic, triumphant, and unstintingly honest, The Pursuit of Happyness conjures heroes like Horatio Alger and Antwone Fisher, and appeals to the very essence of the American Dream.

  In the suspenseful and darkly funny sequel to Don’t Point that Thing at Me, married life only compounds the danger facing art dealer Charlie Mortdecai. 
   
  Art dealer and degenerate aristocrat Charlie Mortdecai has gotten himself into a spot of trouble over a certain stolen Goya. In order to save himself, he must marry the beautiful, sex-crazed and very, very rich Johanna Krampf. The fly in the ointment is that Johanna thinks nothing of involving poor Charlie in her life-threatening schemes such as monarch-assassination, heroin smuggling and - worst of all - survival training at a college for feminist spies.  
   
  In After You with the Pistol, British author and art dealer Kyril Bonfiglioli continues the exploits of his immortal, amoral art dealer Charlie Mortdecai. Picking up where the previous novel, Don’t Point that Thing at Me, leaves off, this sequel offers twice the twists, quips, and hair-raising schemes.

  It shouldn't happen to a nurse -but it all too frequently does! The nurse who scrubbed an 'umbilicus' and hung it up to dry... the nurse who induced a new mother to do the splits on her hospital bed... or what about the nurse whose every attempt to bandage her patient's penis caused him to rise to the occasion? Even Florence Nightingale might have blushed. In this hilarious and evergreen miscellany of failed IUDs, emergency toothectomies and grisly practical jokes, the author might have evoked the true spirit of the phrase 'Keep Calm and Carry On'. Though there's enough merry mayhem here to make anyone contemplating joining the Caring Profession think twice... This edition features cartoons by Larry.
