A brave and revealing examination of an overlooked affliction that affects one in four Canadians. Despite having a demanding job, good friends, and a supportive family, Emily White spent many of her nights and weekends alone at home, trying to understand why she felt so disconnected from everyone. To keep up the façade of an active social life and hide the painful truth, that she was suffering from severe loneliness, the successful young lawyer often lied to those around her — and to herself. In this insightful, soul-baring, and illuminating memoir, White chronicles her battle to understand and overcome this debilitating condition, and contends that chronic loneliness deserves the same attention as other mental difficulties, such as depression. "Right now, loneliness is something few people are willing to admit to," she writes. "There's no need for this silence, no need for the shame and self-blame it creates." By investigating the science of loneliness, challenging its stigma, encouraging other lonely people to talk about their struggles, and defining one person's experience, Lonely redefines how we look at loneliness and helps those afflicted see and understand their mood in an entirely new light, ultimately providing solace and hope. It is a moving, compassionate, and important book about a topic that is affecting more among us each day.

The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim by Jonathan Coe Pdf
Maxwell Sim can’t seem to make a single meaningful connection. His absent father was always more interested in poetry; he maintains an e-mail correspondence with his estranged wife, though under a false identity; his incomprehensible teenage daughter prefers her BlackBerry to his conversation; and his best friend since childhood is refusing to return his calls. He has seventy-four friends on Facebook, but nobody to talk to. In an attempt to stir himself out of this horrible rut, Max quits his job as a customer liaison at the local department store and accepts a strange business proposition that falls in his lap by chance: he’s hired to drive a Prius full of toothbrushes to the remote Shetland Islands, part of a misguided promotional campaign for a dental-hygiene company intent on illustrating the slogan “We Reach Furthest.” But Max’s trip doesn’t go as planned, as he’s unable to resist making a series of impromptu visits to important figures from his past who live en route. After a string of cruelly enlightening and intensely awkward misadventures, he finds himself falling in love with the soothing voice of his GPS system (“Emma”) and obsessively identifying with a sailor who perpetrated a notorious hoax and subsequently lost his mind. Eventually Max begins to wonder if perhaps it’s a severe lack of self-knowledge that’s hampering his ability to form actual relationships. A humane satire and modern-day picaresque, The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim is a gently comic and rollickingly entertaining novel about the paradoxical difficulties of making genuine attachments in a world of advanced communications technology and rampant social networking.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Trapped in the Mexican jungle, a group of friends stumble upon a creeping horror unlike anything they could ever imagine in "the best horror novel of the new century" (Stephen King). Also a major motion picture! Two young couples are on a lazy Mexican vacation—sun-drenched days, drunken nights, making friends with fellow tourists. When the brother of one of those friends disappears, they decide to venture into the jungle to look for him. What started out as a fun day-trip slowly spirals into a nightmare when they find an ancient ruins site ... and the terrifying presence that lurks there. "The Ruins does for Mexican vacations what Jaws did for New England beaches.” —Entertainment Weekly “Smith’s nail-biting tension is a pleasure all its own.... This stuff isn’t for the faint of heart.” —New York Post “A story so scary you may never want to go on vacation, or dig around in your garden, again.” —USA Today

This is the music of a generation. These young Marines, their friends at home with their hair growing longer and their attitudes changing, are that generation. The music, the times, the war; it is a pivotal moment in history, heralded by Percy Sledge, Simon and Garfunkle, and the Mama’s and the Papas. Here, in the hell that was the Vietnam War in 1968, these boy soldiers are coming of age, listening to their music. Mick Holtzman is a Marine Corporal leading a squad through the jungles and highlands of the I Corps area.. He and his men have one major focus, survival. Survival and the plane ride home. A home that becomes less recognizable with each day endured in Viet Nam. Mick isn’t listening to the music, he has fourteen men he is making decisions for. Holtzman wears the coat of responsibility as if it were a garment tailored just for him. He realizes that he is responsible for the lives and actions of these men both in and out of combat and in return, he feels needed. Through each firefight, pitched battle and confrontation, his connection to these men grows stronger. Letters are the primary method of communication and the most important thread in connection to the world back home. Mick receives a letter from his high school heart throb Lori, which gives him hope that he can repair their damaged relationship. Having someone who cares is important. From the context of the letter he can’t tell if she is romantically interested, or just dutifully writing a Marine she knows. Mick writes back with high hopes. Words, They’re only words. And words are all I have , To take your heart away. Mick and his boys are all in love, there is a girl or woman, somewhere in their past or present. Heck, most of them just graduated from high school a year or so ago. When these young Marines are wounded, the first and often the last words out of their mouth is the name of a woman...their girl, fiancé, or mother. Mick and the men of first squad see the war, its confusion, chaos, heroics, stupidity, and horror up close and personal. Mick and his comrades must make decisions that would paralyze older, more seasoned men. The hard part is that they must live with the outcome of these decisions for the rest of their lives. Where? What? How? How to get there and back without dying! Where does the knowledge come from? Mick questions himself daily. And all his first Fire Team Leader can think of is his fiancé. Joe Sokouski, Mick’s First Fire Team leader is totally enamored with his fiancé Rosemary Antoni. Rosmary’s attitude changes with the times, on the War, soldiers in general, and particularly Marines. Ski “Can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else.” Ski receives a Dear John from Rosemary which he reads, and another letter from a neighbor girl which he does not read. The DJ puts Ski over the edge. While on a night action ordered by Mick, Ski is mortally wounded. Mick drags him to safety where the Corpsman and Mick work on Ski for hours in an attempt to revive him while the medevac chopper circles overhead, refusing to land. The Squad Leader discovers two blood spattered letters in his friends pocket. These letters lead him back to the WORLD, into Ski’s past, and open a window to his own future. Mick is devastated. He has lost men before, but none so close. This is personal, he blames himself. He reads the letters, one damning, one sweet. Heartbroken over his friends death, unsure what to do, he keeps the letters. Mick, angered by the helicopter pilots refusal to land and save his friend, makes inquiries that stir up a political hornet’s nest. Mick’s new Company Commander, Captain Blackwell leads Mick’s persecutors in an attempt to promote his own career. The Corporal is threatened, cajoled, and coerced to “leave it alone.” He can’t; Mick continues his quixotic quest despite the potential consequences. Mick is caught up in the swirl and fog of internal military politics, a battle for which he has no training. Driven by his commitment to his men and the Corps that he loves and hates, he keeps striving. And the beat goes on, The beat goes on. Throughout Mick’s travails’ battles occur, friendships develop, soldiers die, survive, accomplish heroics, or hide in their cowardice. Mick and his squad tell the story of a thousand young men, “The Best of the Best.” The sixties generation, boys on their high school senior trip...the war is the lens that focuses the intensity of a lifetime into a thirteen month tour of duty.
