One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night by Christopher Brookmyre Pdf
“Pulp Fiction meets And Then There Were None” in this comic mystery set during a high school reunion off the coast of Scotland (Booklist). Gavin Hutchison has a plan to create a unique “floating holiday experience” on a converted North Sea oil rig. It’ll be a haven for tourists who want a vacation without the hassle of actually going anywhere. And what better way to test out his venture than to host a fifteen-year high school reunion, the biggest social event of his life? Believe it or not, the plan goes all wrong. Not only does no one remember Gavin, but his wife has discovered his philandering ways and plans to ditch him with a very public announcement in front of his assembled guests. That includes the uninvited ones, like a band of party-crashing mercenaries who are about to bring out the very worst in these very old friends. “Champagne bottles morph into defensive weapons” in prize-winning author Christopher Brookmyre’s comedy of betrayal, blackmail, revenge, and survival (Hartford Courant). “Furiously paced and wonderfully absurd, with more one-liners than a Colombian coke dealer.” —Maxim “Broad humor . . . and breakneck plotting.” —The New York Times Book Review

While reading through each chapter, you’ll see yourself in various life situations, some funny when you can laugh at yourself and some more serious to help you to look at life through a different lens.

We often ask ourselves what gets lost in translation—not just between languages, but in the everyday trade-offs between what we experience and what we are able to say about it. But the visionary poems of this collection invite us to consider: what is loss, in translation? Writing at the limits of language—where “the signs loosen, fray, and drift”—Alan Shapiro probes the startling complexity of how we confront absence and the ephemeral, the heartbreak of what once wasn’t yet and now is no longer, of what (like racial prejudice and historical atrocity) is omnipresent and elusive. Through poems that are fine-grained and often quiet, Shapiro tells of subtle bereavements: a young boy is shamed for the first time for looking “girly”; an ailing old man struggles to visit his wife in a nursing home; or a woman dying of cancer watches her friends enjoy themselves in her absence. Throughout, this collection traverses rather than condemns the imperfect language of loss—moving against the current in the direction of the utterly ineffable.
In addition to select experiences from the author's life, Lacy and Oliver cites events in the lives of maternal grandparents and great-grandparents. Spiritual strength, resiliency, and unconditional love allowed them to effectively negotiate a wide range of difficult and tragic family events. A glimpse of pioneer life is presented, as is a limited account of life in an early coal camp. Central to the writing is the life of the author's grandmother who lives to the age of 101 years.
Tevye the Dairyman and The Railroad Stories by Sholem Aleichem Pdf
Of all the characters in modern Jewish fiction, the most beloved is Tevye, the compassionate, irrepressible, Bible-quoting dairyman from Anatevka, who has been immortalized in the writings of Sholem Aleichem and in acclaimed and award-winning theatrical and film adaptations. And no Yiddish writer was more beloved than Tevye’s creator, Sholem Rabinovich (1859–1916), the “Jewish Mark Twain,” who wrote under the pen name of Sholem Aleichem. Beautifully translated by Hillel Halkin, here is Sholem Aleichem’s heartwarming and poignant account of Tevye and his daughters, together with the “Railroad Stories,” twenty-one tales that examine human nature and modernity as they are perceived by men and women riding the trains from shtetl to shtetl.

It is not long before Milly falls in love with his new world and begins searching for a way to live there forever. Little does he know that his desire for happiness is about to lead him to a grave mistake with horrifying consequences.

The Words of Our Father by Debi Dickson Wagner Pdf
Words have power...to help, to hurt, to heal, to bring hope. Imagine the impact when words come from your soulmate, infused with undying love, from beyond this world! That's the reality Noreen embraces when her husband of fifty years, long since deceased, returns with urgent warnings, proclamations of love and advice to assist her through her own impending death experience. He brings miraculous gifts: directions for unbridled forgiveness and one inspired present for her last Christmas on Earth. Will she believe in him, trust him, recognize his wisdom even though it will take her beyond what she thought she knew about the afterlife, but didn't? This book is not a work of fiction. The Words of Our Father is a poignant, emotional love story that chronicles the lives of one family through the generations as they hold fast to each other and God through the tumultuous burdens of their world. Their lives are filled with strife, pain, infertility, the death of a child, a debilitating accident, the threat of financial ruin, sibling rifts, alcoholism, and horrific acts of nature. Together, Ken and Noreen fight to shield their six children from the ravages of the real world by cocooning them in love, theirs and God's. They find joy in each other and the simple pleasures of life as they create a legacy of love so strong that it transcends the boundaries between life and death. "For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11)
