Summary

The Man Who Knew Coolidge, written by Sinclair Lewis, is a satirical novel that presents a humorous and critical view of American life in the 1920s. The book centers around the character Lowell Schmaltz, who claims to have personal acquaintance with President Calvin Coolidge. Schmaltz, a boastful and self-aggrandizing narrator, is a typical Lewis character used to expose the pretensions and follies of middle-class America. Lewis uses sharp wit and irony to explore themes such as the American Dream, the pursuit of success, and the emptiness of materialism. The book is also notable for its commentary on political and social issues of the era, including business ethics, corruption, and the influence of media.

    Have you ever faced a weird situation, encountered a particularly difficult person or tackled a tough task and said to yourself, "you gotta be kidding me!" 
"You Gotta Be Kidding Me!" tells the sometimes hilarious, sometimes embarrassing and sometimes sad stories of a hyperindependent woman navigating life on her own. 
The stories include the unexpected hellscape of simply having a refrigerator delivered, the struggles of facing the 2020 pandemic solo, and the stress of taking on the care of 8 cats after the author's mother passed away. 
A relatable story can not only pass the time, but also get you through a depressing or difficult situation in your life. And a good story can be about everyday life scenarios that many of us go through, whether it’s with family members, strangers, friends, co-workers, pets, retail workers, managing a household, or dealing with loss. 
These stories might make you laugh, smile, gasp, cry or shake your head. It's the perfect book to turn on when you're driving, working or taking a walk through the park.

    She’s 118 years old, four steps from glory and now she’s done playing nice. 
Sister Agatha has lived a long, saintly life across three centuries—only to be told, during a routine 
check–up, that she’s got just one week left to live. It’s a bit of an inconvenience, really. You see, 
Sister Agatha once made a vow: to be the oldest person in the world. At last count, she was in fifth 
place. So close . . .  
But where there’s a will, there’s a way, and the super-centenarian creates a bold Plan B. 
Armed with little more than rosary beads, a fertile imagination and old–fashioned determination, 
Sister Agatha sets off on one final mission: to meet the four people standing between her and 
immortality and to gently expedite their demise. After all, vows are sacred. 
And Sister Agatha? She will not go quietly . . .
