Описание: "We made our way down the street and arrived at the first intersection where one of the soldiers, who under the dark street lights looked to be only about 15 years old, placed his hand on my chest as a warning to stop. The other officer pulled a whistle strung to his hat and blew, a high pitch ring that shot through the tense night air. Within a second or two a reciprocal whistle came from up the road, and upon hearing it we crossed. At the second road the same procedure was followed, and as we heard the whistle we all breathed a sigh and crossed. However, at the third intersection our whistle received no reply. The guard scanned the scene with a slight hint of fear in his eyes before again blowing his whistle. I will never forget the sound I heard next: a whistle. Not the whistle from a plastic noise maker but the whistling sound of a bullet flying past my ear before it crashed into the soft cement wall of the street store behind us..." From the outlandish and unimaginable to the routine and universal, world travelers get thrust (or thrust themselves) into just about every situation you could possibly think of. With "From The Grand Canyon To The Great Wall: Travelers Best, Worst And Most Ridiculous Stories From The Road," author and editor David Slenk has collected 67 of those creative, unique, interesting, touching, disastrous moments - in short, the best stories our travels have provided us. Stories from 54 different authors that take place in 45 different countries from all around the world. Travel is a very powerful thing - whether your travel experience is full of one-week vacations, year-long globetrotting jaunts, missionary work or military deployment, travel affects everyone in both positive and negative ways. It shapes who we are and how we see the world. It exposes us to different cultures and new sights, and helps us connect with people we would never otherwise meet. It also brings with it scores of incredible nights, interesting conversations, brutal mistakes, and maybe even a handful of life-long friends. So, are you a 100% self-confessed world traveler seeking inspiration for your next trip? Want to see how your worst mistake ranks with some of our most epic disasters? Or maybe you re hoping to understand a bit of the life of a globe-trotter? Looking for inspiration for a trip of your own - or looking forward to wincing at our mistakes and self-inflicted problems, totally satisfied living with a/c, hot water and no language barriers to trip you up?

Описание: Dante published his ambitious and unusual poem, Divine Comedy, more than seven hundred years ago. In the ensuing centuries countless retellings, innumerable adaptations, tens of thousands of fiery sermons from Catholic bishops and Baptist preachers, all those New Yorker cartoons, and masterpieces of European art have afforded Dante’s fictional apparition of hell unending attention and credibility. Dinty W. Moore did not buy in.
Moore started questioning religion at a young age, quizzing the nuns in his Catholic school, and has been questioning it ever since. Yet after years of Catholic school, religious guilt, and persistent cultural conditioning, Moore still can’t shake the feelings of inadequacy, and asks: What would the world be like if eternal damnation was not hanging constantly over our sheepish heads? Why do we persist in believing a myth that merely makes us miserable? In To Hell with It, Moore reflects on and pokes fun at the over-seriousness of religion in various texts, combining narratives of his everyday life, reflections on his childhood, and religion’s influence on contemporary culture and society.
Описание: In Canadian history, there was a hero who could breathe life. That hero is known as Nanabozo, also called the Trickster. Nanobozo is neither male nor female. Its appearance is changing, each representing the many phases and conditions of life. Read about Nanabozo and examine its hidden lessons. Begin today.
Описание: Indulge your inner gossip with this inside look into the unguarded lives of everyday people
Have you ever wondered what people are really like behind closed doors?
We all have a strange fascination about our neighbors that we like to share and gossip about.
Like the seemingly perfect couple down the street who probably have some kinky tastes.
Or the quiet old bachelor on the fifth floor who you swear is secretly a former Soviet spy.
Oftentimes, we have no way of knowing who these people really are, but sometimes, somebody gets an opportunity to peek behind the curtain...
Technicians, delivery guys, cleaners and similar in-home service workers are regularly welcomed into people's homes...and then left on their own, free to snoop and observe.
People can reveal their true selves when they think no one's watching, or in this case, forget that someone's watching
This results in some absurd but entertaining tales that give us a deeper insight into who people really are.
Luckily for you, one cable guy has decided to compile his experiences from a decades-long career into this amusing and intriguing memoir.
In I Saw a Porn that Started that Way, you will find:
22 unbelievable true-to-life stories that will leave your mouth hanging open and your mind blown
The crazy comments from nutty clients that will have you rolling your eyes with disgust
Tantalizing revelations guaranteed to leave you hot and bothered...and wanting more
The curious case of the customer with an unexpected collection, which had the cable guy running out of his house
Awkward encounters that will make you so grateful you're not a cable guy
A riveting recollection about the ominous day he came face to face with the Russian mafia, and lived to tell the tale
Hilarious anecdotes about the weirdos, perverts and hoarders one encounters on a typical workday
And much more.
This is not your usual inspirational memoir. It is so much better. This is a collection of stories you never thought you needed to know.
Satisfy your curiosity about those people you only get to watch from afar. Imagine being a fly on the wall during these ludicrous situations. See the hidden world of other people's homes through the eyes of one observant cable guy.
And maybe next time, you'll be more mindful of your actions and surroundings when you let someone into your home.

Описание: Ellen meets Jim at a posh restaurant, hoping for an evening of fine wine and better conversation. Maria sets out on a walk with a man she's been looking forward to meeting. In First Date Stories, these women, and others, enter into initial liaisons with well-honed expectations--and come out on the other side with extraordinary tales to tell. Chances are, every woman in her mid-thirties and over who is seeking a loving companion has a first date tale of triumph or disaster. Each of the candid and memorable stories Jodi Klein shares here imparts a bit of wisdom--with the help of takeaway tips and inspirational quotes--to guide readers through what can be a baffling, intimidating, and sometimes lonely journey. Before a promising first date, or after an awful one, First Date Stories offers readers the reminder that being single should be celebrated, that not all first dates are created equal, and that every initial encounter has the possibility to become something long-lasting and wonderful.
Описание: The book "ridiculous" by Miku Kumiko is dedicated to all seekers. Seekers know that the search should be given up. The enthusiasm for search queries keeps returning and the ideas about yourself are endless. And we are occupied with new thoughts almost all the time. The open and free exploration of the thoughts with these thoughts can perhaps be a little help on the way of life. This book shouldn't mean more, but also no less.
