  Art, a 29 year old scuba rep from Indiana, is floating through life, rudderless and apathetic. One day, when he leaves work in order to avoid an office birthday party, he stumbles across a sign for Mystery Mike’s Bookstore. What was first mere curiosity grows into an obsession when threatening notes and mind warping illusions prevent Art from finding the damn place. 
    
   Art impulsively disregards his responsibilities at work and home to get to the bottom of the mystical bookstore. He soon teams up with Lenny, a Middle-aged Granite State Schlub and his celebrity dog, Schubert, who were former clients of the store before being shut off from access right when they needed it most.  
    
  Schubert is dying and Lenny is desperate to keep him alive. Lenny is also wracked with guilt that Schubert's illness might be a side effect of the training knowledge obtained from Mystery Mike's. During their search, the team encounters some peculiar people, including a brash cult leader, a ventriloquist couple with a supernatural secret, and angelic super race of humans with ulterior motives. Some will become friends, some will become enemies, but everyone seems to be in it for themselves. What are they willing to do to solve their problems and possibly save all of humanity to boot?

  Ageing Rock God, Jim Sullivan, is heading for the quiet life on his newly acquired, tiny island, off the coast of Cornwall. That is until he sends a letter to the King of England, announcing his intent to declare independence from the UK and appointing himself king. 
   
  Determined not to cede one inch of British territory, the UK government despatches low-level Foreign Office researcher, John Cabot, to put a stop to Sullivan’s ambitions. 
   
  What they didn’t anticipate was Cabot’s tenacity for unearthing information they’d rather he didn’t, or Sullivan’s relentless, but completely unfounded, optimism in his own ideas. 
   
  Armed with nothing more than a guitar and a spreadsheet, can these two stand up to the might of the British Empire? 
   
  No contest.

  Deer Hunting with Jesus -...

  Joe Bageant

  • 0

  By turns tender, incendiary, and seriously funny, this book is a call to arms for fellow progressives with little real understanding of "the great beery, NASCAR-loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks." 
   
   
   
  Deer Hunting with Jesus is Joe Bageant's report on what he learned when he moved back to his hometown of Winchester, Virginia. Like countless American small towns, it is fast becoming the bedrock of a permanent underclass. Two in five of the people in his old neighborhood do not have high school diplomas or health care. Alcohol, overeating, and Jesus are the preferred avenues of escape. 
   
   
   
  He writes of: 
   
   
   
  ● His childhood friends who work at factory jobs that are constantly on the verge of being outsourced 
   
   
   
  ● The mortgage and credit card rackets that saddle the working poor with debt 
   
   
   
  ● The ubiquitous gun culture—and why the left doesn't get it 
   
   
   
  ● Scots Irish culture and how it played out in the young life of Lynddie England

  Bizarre Laws & Curious Customs...

  Monty Lord

  In the UK, we have some bizarre laws that have littered the statute books of our sceptred isle throughout history. Not all of them have been repealed over the centuries. Some of them made perfect sense at the time they were introduced but seen through modern eyes, now appear archaic and draconian. Despite the great efforts of the Law Commission in England and Wales to review and recommend reforms for many of these outdated laws, there are centuries of law that must be painstakingly gone through. 
  As well as some bizarre laws, the UK also has its fair share of curious customs and time-honoured traditions that have been observed for centuries. On the surface, many appear to be nothing more than theatrical pomp and pageantry. However, they are all born from strong rationale. 
  The UK parliament seems to have had a particular penchant for passing laws related to fish and animals, indecency and passing sentences with some humiliating public punishments. 
  This book is a highly entertaining read for anyone who enjoys learning about the more bizarre applications of UK law throughout the centuries, along with some rather macabre consequences along the way. 
  Have you ever heard a bizarre law and thought, that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that became so embellished over time? There are surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence on the statute books today, that would make your jaw drop. Whilst bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws on a regular basis? 
  With over 140 bizarre but nevertheless true, laws and customs, you can use this book to satisfy your curiosity about what our ancestors had to contend with over the years, or perhaps as a reference guide for trivia quizzes.
