Fungi and human families are the threads that tie the fabric of all these tales together. In The Freaky Fungal Family Tree, there are few things that are as they appear to be. You’ve been duly warned. Now, from this point on - listen at your own risk!

Welcome to Somerville Grange is a collection of feel-good stories for golden oldies still young at heart, written by one of their own. Set in an idyllic retirement complex, it is an affectionate account of the lives, loves, and foibles of the fortunate residents still living life to the fullest and making the most their twilight days.

Одесский юмор - явление уникальное. Это особый жанр - блестящее остроумие, афористичность и естественность, неподражаемый стиль и самобытный язык, живая интонация и удивительная легкость выражения. В сборнике представлены рассказы, фельетоны, пародии, зарисовки, так или иначе связанные с Одессой.

Race Harleson is up against it big time: The world is stripping naked, and it seems to be some form of viral madness. He ends up shot into space with a couple of sharp veteran astronauts...and a new sidekick, Dark Matter. Physics super-prodigy Crayten "Cray-Cray" Hobbs has juiced himself up so much that he can alter the essence of matter to his rather freewheeling will, so Race is understandably both awed and annoyed by the hyper young man, and he's stuck keeping his fingers crossed that the people who sent them up there knew what they're doing.

This is the best book ever written, a rollicking work of satire hopping literary genres every few minutes to deliver loving literary barbs. Romance, literary fiction, zombies, fantasy, vampires, mystery, thrillers, nothing is safe! Framed by a narrator gradually losing his mind as he strives to write the Definitive American Best-Seller, this book is as much fun as the law allows.

Jump-Start: To jump-start American consumerism after decades of zero economic growth, the vaganus is wholesaled in casino fashion.

These seven short stories trace the childhood memories of a young boy, humorously nicknamed General Custer. The General, optimistic by nature and battered by circumstances, moves from Corvallis, Oregon, to the coastal town of Fairhaven, California. In this patchwork tarpaper town, on the north spit of Humboldt Bay, there are no phones, no indoor toilets, and with mostly absent parents, very few rules. Tracing General Custer's intrepid spirit and ardent observations, Kids in the Wind brims with windy salt air, unimaginable adventure, discoveries of young love, and humor.

If someone had told Noah Donovan he was going to be stuck in an elevator with a very beautiful, slightly odd bartender and her fluffy packrat, he never would have believed it. Fortunately, the quirky brunette leaves the very cuddly rodent behind. Unfortunately, she’s married. In Lexi Allison’s job, she’s accustomed to warding off unwanted advances with a fake wedding ring. So when she meets a tatted-up hunk in an elevator, she’s quick to revert to her default tall tale. This guy certainly knows how to push her buttons, but the thing is, they’re the right buttons.

This is the third collection of short stories recounting the author's adventures as a member of the New Orleans Police Department. There are a few more stories thrown in to give the book a bit of variety. Humor is a very necessary component of police work and is inescapable in any genuine tales of police adventures.

Von falschen Männern über die betrogene Ehefrau, zur Midlifecrisis bis hin zum richtigen Haustier für den geliebten Nachwuchs. Warum bleiben wir bei der Werbung vor dem Fernseher sitzen? Was ist so interessant an romantischen Filmen? Warum braucht ein Mensch ein Multifunktionspulssensorenmessdings und wieso müssen extrovertierte Vielblubberer nicht unbedingt zu den Schaumschlägern gehören? Weshalb sind Mütter eigentlich stets flexibel, einsatzbereit, nie krank und... haben eigentlich auch Männer Problemzonen?

E se nella vita non esistessero momenti trascurabili? Dai calzini irrimediabilmente spaiati alla cartomante che predice un nuovo amore a tua moglie, il divertimento di vivere ogni istante (anche quelli che dimenticheremmo volentieri) ormai lo conosciamo bene. E non ci stancheremo mai di ritrovarlo. "Ogni singolo gesto, i sapori, l'aria, il tempo, la stoffa, la strada, la persona accanto, il profumo, il panorama, il vento, la porta, il sorriso. Tutto, tutto. La vita non finisce piú, se si sa comprendere ogni singolo momento di un giorno solo."

Primer libro de relatos de David Torres en el que se apuntan los temas y mimbres que irán estando presentes en el resto de su obra: el cuidado por la prosa, el lirismo, la meta literatura y una profunda conciencia social que impregna cada página. Una obra sólida de trazas carverianas y borgianas con una forma a la altura de su fondo.

Un locutorio atestado de voces, un andén de Metro desierto, un guiñol en el Paque del Retiro o una cueva prehistórica: cualquier marco es válido para narrar una historia de amor. Incluso las páginas de un diccionario. Carlos Salem muestra en este libro diferentes registros de su estilo: el humor irreverente en unos relatos, el lenguaje directo o la prosa en espiral en otros, y en todos un fondo de ternura poética que el autor se niega a reconocer, "porque uno tiene una imagen de duro que proteger".

Die Highlights aus dem Schaffen des bärbeißig-ironischen Bayern sind greifbar! Es sind die schönsten der witzigen "Lausbubengeschichten", natürlich der unvergessene "Münchner im Himmel" und andere der glänzenden Satiren aus Thomas Feder. Darüber hinaus möchten aber auch einige weniger bekannte "Schmankerl" entdeckt werden. Ein Schmaus für alle, die diesen Klassiker der bayerischen Literatur kennen und schätzen lernen wollen! In gekürzter Fassung gelesen von Horst Rankl.
