  Loaners: The Making of a Street...

  In 2011, Laura Moulton founded Street Books, a mobile library serving people living outside in Portland, Oregon. That summer, Ben Hodgson became one of her most dedicated regulars, setting the still-unbroken single-season record for borrowing. Then Ben's routines changed, and he didn't cross paths again with Laura for almost two years. Loaners is the story they began to tell when they reconnected, offering a street-level perspective of a community whose stories are seldom told, alternating between their two unforgettable points of view in this addictively readable, occasionally sublime memoir.  
  Pulitzer-nominated writer Karen Russell has this to say about Loaners: "A wonderfully sui generis memoir, braiding together hilarious and devastating anecdotes from Ben's years living on the street in Old Town — 'the Baltic and Mediterranean' of Portland — and Laura's decade of building her first bike library, a 'beautiful, ungainly, rolling creation,' into a sprawling, city-wide network of street librarians and patrons. Like Street Books itself, Loaners is a powerful collaboration between neighbors, a wonderful, chimerical book held together by the glue of humor, hope and connection. The right book can change a person forever in a few hours time. Anyone looking for evidence to pair with this grand claim of mine should read Loaners immediately."

  What happened to the Hippy Man?...

  On 5 September 1986, a gang of terrorists took over a Pan Am jumbo jet at Karachi Airport, Pakistan. The flight crew escaped, leading to a siege. The leader of the gang shot a passenger and threw his body out to show they meant business. He ordered a flight attendant to collect the passengers' passports. She was sure he would kill an American, so she bravely concealed any American passports with western names and faces. Frustrated and angry, he picked a British passport, and the flight attendant announced "Will Michael John Thexton please come to the front of the plane?" A haggard man with straggly hair and a long beard went forward. A three-year old Indian girl asked her parents, "What happened to the hippy man?"Mike Thexton was held at the front of the plane for twelve hours, waiting to be shot. When the ground power unit failed and the plane became dark, the terrorists put him back with the others, before opening fire indiscriminately. At least 20 people died and over a hundred were injured, but Mike escaped by jumping off the wing of the plane and running away, sure that he would wake up and find himself still kneeling by the front door.This book tells the story of Mike's journey to Pakistan to say goodbye to his brother, who died in the Karakoram mountains in 1983 - his extraordinary bad and good luck on flight PA073 - the heroism of the flight attendants - and the long aftermath of one of the bloodiest terrrorist atrocities of the 1980s. After the leader of the gang was sentenced to 160 years in an American jail in 2004, Mike wrote a print book to tell the story up to that point. Since then the story has been retold in two documentaries - on Discovery and Sky - and in the Indian thriller "Neerja". Mike's part in the Sky documentary has finally given him the answer to a question that has puzzled him for thirty-five years: "Why didn't they shoot me?" The print book has been updated to complete the story, which comes full circle back to Mike's brother.

  🌋 A village of one hundred and seventy people lives inside the crater of an active volcano. 
  ⛩️ The summit of the country's most sacred mountain is privately owned. 
  ⚔️ For centuries, the samurai — Japan's most feared warriors — were paid not in gold, but in rice. 
  Most people think they know Japan. They know the bullet trains, the cherry blossoms, the sushi. But the country keeps its most interesting stories somewhere else entirely — in the details that never make it onto a postcard. 
  This audiobook collects 151 of those stories. Each one is short, self-contained, and built to be listened to anywhere — on a commute, on a walk, in the ten minutes before you fall asleep. Pick up from the beginning or drop in anywhere. Every entry stands on its own. 
  🏮 An ancient belief holds that household tools come to life after one hundred years of service — and must be treated accordingly. 
  🥋 In the sixteenth century, an African man arrived in Japan and rose to become a samurai. His name was Yasuke. His story was almost lost to history. 
  🍗 Every Christmas Eve, millions of Japanese families sit down to a bucket of fried chicken. The reason involves a marketing campaign, a Colonel, and a stroke of accidental genius. 
  These are the facts that make up a nation's soul. 
  Welcome to The Soul of Japan: 
  151 Surprising Facts About Japanese Culture, History, Traditions, and Everyday Life — Stories That Reveal the Real Japan.
