  Belize - Friends and Scammers

  Steven Froelich

  He's back! In this second travel memoir, The Man Without a Plan lands in Belize, a country about which he knows nada. But he quickly amasses an array of new friends – some of whom can even match his penchant for being in a near-constant buzz from industrial-quantity drugs and drink.
  As ever, the characters with whom Steven ingratiates himself become his surrogate (dysfunctional) family. But Tracey, Devonais, Ask Bobby!, Valentino and a pack of kids led by the feral Molokai soon have Steven suspecting that his cheerfully transactional relationships are, in fact, ensnaring him in a web of scams. Will he be left for broke, stranded in this shabby paradise? Is his paranoia justifiable, or the result of continuous cocaine use? His response is to embark with the gang on a road trip along the coast, taking in shantytowns, hotels, beaches and, at a low ebb, jail.
  Coarse, irresponsible and wilfully uninformed, Froelich is nevertheless observant and interested. Belize is about the ways in which chaotic, complex human beings find community, no matter where they're from or where they're headed.

  A Guide to Making Decisions, Then Changing Your Mind 47 Times 
  🚨 WARNING: This is NOT a book for decisive people. If you know what you want in life and confidently make choices without having a full-blown existential meltdown, please move along. 
  This book is for overthinkers, procrastinators, and chronically indecisive disasters who would rather launch themselves into the sun than commit to literally anything. If you’ve ever: 
  ✔️ Spent an hour picking a movie, only to give up and rewatch The Office. 
  ✔️ Polled multiple friends about a minor decision, then ignored their advice. 
  ✔️ Stared at a restaurant menu like it was a life-or-death situation. 
  ✔️ Regretted a choice the second you made it. 
  ✔️ Overanalyzed a text message for so long that you never sent it. 
  Congratulations—you have Decision Paralysis, and this book will make you feel seen. 
  Inside, you’ll find absolutely zero useful strategies for overcoming indecision, but you will get: 
  A breakdown of why your brain refuses to let you make choices like a normal person. 
  An in-depth look at why picking a dinner spot with friends always ends in silent rage. 
  A highly scientific decision-making flowchart (spoiler: you still won’t pick anything). 
  A chance to laugh at your own dysfunction instead of actually fixing it. 
  So, should you buy this book? 
  🤔 Yes. 
  🤔 No. 
  🤔 Maybe. 
  🤔 Let me think about it first. 
  (You’ll probably just add it to your cart and stare at it for six weeks, but hey—at least that’s on brand.)

  Earth Keeper - Reflections on...

  READ BY THE AUTHOR 
  "Dazzling. . . . In glittering prose, Momaday recalls stories passed down through generations, illuminating the earth as a sacrosanct place of wonder and abundance. At once a celebration and a warning, Earth Keeper is an impassioned defense of all that our endangered planet stands to lose." — Esquire 
  A magnificent testament to the earth, from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet N. Scott Momaday. 
  One of the most distinguished voices in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to celebrating and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral tradition. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and grew up on Navajo, Apache, and Peublo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is a part of the earth he knows well and loves deeply. 
  In Earth Keeper, he reflects on his native ground and its influence on his people. “When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors," he writes, "I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they, belong to the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth.”  
  In this wise and wonderous work, Momaday shares stories and memories throughout his life, stories that have been passed down through generations, stories that reveal a profound spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He offers an homage and a warning. He shows us that the earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that must be honored and protected before it’s too late. As he so eloquently and simply reminds us, we must all be keepers of the earth.
