  The unbelievable true story of the greatest Ping-Pong rivalry in Bayonne High School history. 
  Entering his senior year at BHS, Brian Canever had only two items left on his teenage bucket list. First, to kiss a girl. And then, to make history. 
  Standing in his way was Eddy Fink, the undefeated champion who, among the members of the school’s Ping-Pong club, was known simply as “Paddlehands.” After Fink ruthlessly demolished the author's best friends in the lead-up to the final tournament of their high school lives, Canever stepped to the championship table knowing full well what was on the line. 
  When his promising plan backfired, he languished for nearly two decades before making a harrowing decision: to call his rival back from the dead and meet one last time inside the musty BHS gymnasium. 
  Recounted with sincerity and wit, Paddlehands is a coming-of-age epic that will have readers scouring Facebook to resurrect their own childhood adversaries in the hope of settling old scores and, once and for all, being crowned king.

  Al Jaffee's Mad Life - A Biography

  “One of the great cartoonists of our time.” –New Yorker cartoonist Arnold Roth The remarkable story of one of America’s most prolific and beloved cartoonists, Al Jaffee, with dozens of original color illustrations. Jaffe’s career in cartooning stretches back to 1941—with early humor pieces for Timely Comics, a precursor to Marvel Comics—but the iconic artist remains best known for the brilliant Fold-In cartoons he invented at Bill Gaines’s Mad magazine in 1964. The cerebral and sardonic illustrations have inspired generations of Mad readers—including Stephen Colbert, R. Crumb, Gary Larson and Charles Shultz—to embrace a firm and healthy irreverence towards the status quo. New York Times columnist and bestselling author Mary-Lou Weisman (My Middle-Aged Baby Book) helps Jaffe tell his remarkable story.

  The most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves. 
   
   
   
  When the man calling himself Archie Leach begins spotting his dead lover at random locations around the city, he must finally stop running and face the truth—which may not be quite as he's remembered it all these years. An American living in Australia, Archie's had so many aliases that when he wakes up handcuffed to a hospital bed, he almost forgets which one he's supposed to use. With his delivery job derailed by a brief and inconvenient death, he's earned the wrath of his underworld boss, landing him an exorbitant repayment plan and the commandeering of his apartment for everything from corpse storage to Tuesday night yoga class. 
   
   
   
  While recovering from his injuries, Archie is roped into dog-sitting for his new neighbor, Nisha, and a reluctant friendship ensues. She introduces Archie to the strange world of the Orrery, a nine-story mecca of surreal hedonism whose ninth level promises to hold the answers they're both seeking. But Nisha has spun plenty of her own deceptions, as Archie realizes too late. At this rate, they may both end up dead without ever knowing who's been fooling whom.
