  After years spent chasing distant horizons, what happens when the road finally leads you back? 
  In The Long Way Home, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis turns his compass inward, exploring the idea of home through the lens of a lifetime spent in motion. From the quiet streets of his childhood to the far corners of the world where he’s found pieces of himself, Davis weaves a tapestry of memory, movement, and meaning. 
  With the lyrical grace of a memoir and the keen observation of a traveler, he asks what it means to belong in a world without fixed borders — and whether returning home is ever the same as staying. 
  Poignant, introspective, and deeply human, The Long Way Home is a meditation on distance, identity, and the timeless journey between leaving and arriving.

  A wickedly funny, full-color, illustrated sendup of the trendy lifestyle publication GOOP. 
  What is Glop? 
  Glop is a business and a website. But Glop is also a feeling. It’s about picking the right expensive organic eye cream that will make you fit seamlessly into the top tiers of high society and sits next to Bono at a 42-course seitan tasting dinner held in a sex dungeon deep beneath the North Pole. Glop is about being conscious to the tiny details of our lives—what to eat, where to buy your cashmere yoga pants, which juice cleanse will remove the most mercury toxins from both your body and your cashmere yoga pants. Glop is about you. 
  In this scathingly humorous parody, Gabrielle Moss skewers the vanity, elitism, and silliness of the lifestyle website everyone loves to hate. Here are favorite recipes, detoxes, activities, cleanses, beauty tips, juice cleanses, vacation destinations, and a selection of hand creams that will open your third eye—plus lots of celebrity namedropping and more.  
  Glop includes everything from the silly to sublime—make-at-home stem cell moisturizing repair masques, weekend colonics, restorative yoga poses (for when Sting is mad at you about that thing you did), and even the freshest bones for your bone broth. Here, too, are G’s essential tips on parenthood, relationships, work and finances, entertaining, food (well, maybe not food), spirituality, beauty, fashion, home, gifts, kids, and more. Nothing in Glop is sacred—except for a few Indian cows you can’t afford.

  The Great Lakes are graveyards of a vast number of shipwrecks (30,000 by some estimates), and Lake Michigan has more than the other four lakes combined. The stories of those wrecks tell the history of that mighty lake in its endless, mercurial challenge to human endeavor. 
   
   
   
  Michael Schumacher charts the course of shipping disasters great and small on Lake Michigan. He illuminates the details of maritime weather and shipcraft, the lives devoted to and lost on the water, and the mistakes and monumental failures that led to these ships' watery ends. 
   
   
   
  Here are tragic tales like that of the Eastland, the deadliest shipwreck in Great Lakes history, lost while docked in the Chicago River; the Rouse Simmons, a wooden schooner loaded with Christmas trees; the train ferry Milwaukee and the Wisconsin, a package freighter, gone within one week of each other in October 1929; and the passenger vessel the Lady Elgin, a devastating loss met with incredible heroism. 
   
  The stories of these shipwrecks, spanning a full century of commercial traffic on Lake Michigan, document the myriad forms of bravery and misfortune that mark our encounters with the Great Lakes.

  KEANU REEVES 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Keanu Reeves, born in Beirut, Lebanon, is a Canadian actor and musician known for his diverse roles and amiable public image. He gained early recognition in films like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Point Break, then transitioned to more mature roles in movies like My Own Private Idaho. Reeves achieved a resurgence with The Matrix franchise and the John Wick series. He also plays bass guitar in the band Dogstar, and has recently toured in support of their new album. Reeves is also a philanthropist who has a private cancer foundation that supports children's hospitals and cancer research. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon, on September 2, 1964, to a costume designer mother and an American father with Native Hawaiian, Chinese, English, and Portuguese descent. His first name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian. 
    
  Reeves's parents divorced when he was young, and his mother moved the family to various locations, including Sydney and New York City, before settling in Toronto. He attended four different high schools and was eventually expelled from the Etobicoke School of the Arts for being "too rambunctious". 
    
  Reeves has dyslexia, which he says contributed to him not being a good student. He was a successful ice hockey goalkeeper with aspirations to play for the Canadian Olympic team, but his hockey career ended due to an injury. 
    
  Early in his acting career, agents suggested he change his name because it was "too ethnic". He briefly used "K. C." or "Casey" Reeves before reverting to his given name.
