Summary

A tongue-in-cheek book of spells that will teach you how to give life’s most irritating people a taste of their own medicine.  “Revenge is a dish best served through these hilarious curses. . . . What are you waiting for? Make your shit list actionable!” ―Rachel Federman, author of Test Your Dog’s IQ: Genius Edition   Inspired by witches’ curses of the past, Hexes for the Modern Age is an irreverent collection of 120 spells perfectly calibrated to terrorize the smartphone-obsessed, overworked, hipster-drenched denizens of these trying times.   With this delightfully wicked book you’ll learn how to cast spells like:   “May you start turning into your parents way earlier than you expected.”“May all the cords to your electronics become entangled in a massive death coil.”“May a full-size parking space that appears to be open actually be taken up by a tiny Vespa scooter.”“May you always have 3 percent phone battery when you have no idea where you’re going.”And many, many more!   Organized by categories including love, work, roommates, traffic, pets, weddings, and others―Hexes for the Modern Age is the perfect book for anyone who wants to inflict modern-day revenge on all of the worst kinds of people.  “Genius! [This] book provides a busy modern woman like me with quick and easy hexes for every irritating person in my life. I have tried a few of them already and am very pleased with the results.” ―Lydia Ortiz, illustrator for Teen Vogue and cat hoarder  “A book of quirky hexes (some with historical roots and some of [Brains’] own devising) that will please readers who don’t take their hexing too seriously.” —Publishers Weekly

    Imagine a world where New York Times bestselling author, comedian, actor, television, and podcast host Adam Carolla is the President of the United States. Can’t do it? You don’t have to! Adam has done it for you! 
Podcast king Adam Carolla first shared his unique, but always funny world view in his New York Times bestseller In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks—but he’s not done. 
In President Me, Carolla shares his vision for a different, better America free from big issues like big government down to small problems like hotel alarm clock placement. Running on an anti-narcissism platform, President Carolla calls for a return to the values of an earlier time when stew and casserole were on every dinner table and there were no “service dogs” on airplanes. President Me hits right at the heart of what makes our country really annoying, and offers a plan to make all of our lives, but mostly Adam’s, much better.

    A “curiously compelling” novel by the Pulitzer prize–winning playwright in which the internet crashes and the past is reconstructed from memories. (Publishers Weekly) 
 
When the Internet—and the collective memory of the twenty-first century—crashes, the past is reassembled from the downloaded memories of Ginger, wife of ex-President Wilson. The transcripts take the reader on an intellectually breathtaking tour through David Mamet’s baroque, fragmented world, where nothing is certain except the certainty bestowed by the academy. 
 
“As erudite as can be, engagingly mischievous and occasionally a little chilling.” —The Sunday Times 
 
“Enticing . . . Mamet targets with luscious savvy and deadpan irony the limitless pretense of academics.” —Review of Contemporary Fiction
