Title: The Book of Spies Author: Gayle Lynds File Type: Mobi Subject:Fiction:Suspense Description: For centuries, emperors, historians, and even the Vatican have tried to locate Ivan the Terrible’s magnificent Library of Gold — a long-missing archive containing gold-covered, bejeweled books dating all the way back to the ancient Greeks. Now one of the volumes, The Book of Spies, has surfaced, and along with it the highly secret book club that owns the Library of Gold. They form a cabal of the globe’s most powerful men – men who will do anything to achieve their aims and protect their interests. When the CIA discovers a connection between the legendary library and a bank account linked to terrorists, they turn to rare books curator Eva Blake for help. Soon an attempt is made on Eva’s life. Determined not only to survive but to uncover the truth, Eva turns to the only person she can trust—Judd Ryder, a former intelligence agent with his own agenda and a troubled past. Together, Judd and Eva embark on an international adventure from London to Rome, Istanbul, and Athens. Somehow they must do what no one else has been able to do – find the library and stay alive.

Title: The Wit & Wisdom of Discworld

Subject:Fantasy:Discworld
Description:Review“When the least they could do to you was everything, then the most they could do to you suddenly held no terror.” –From, strongSmall Godsstrong “A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.”br –From, strongThe Fifth ElephantstrongFor more than two decades, Terry Pratchett has been regaling readers with tales of Discworld--a flat world balanced on the backs of four elephants, which are standing on the back of a giant turtle, flying through space. It is a world populated by ineffectual wizards and sharp-as-tacks witches, by tired policemen and devious dictators, by reformed thieves and vampires who have sworn to drink no blood. It is a world that is vastly different from our own . . . except when it isnt. Now, in The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld, various nuggets of Pratchetts witty commentary and sagacious observations have been compiled by Pratchett expert Stephen Briggs, a man who, they say, knows even more about Discworld than Terry Pratchett. Within these pages, youll find musings on ul lInterior decorating Its a fact known throughout the universes that no matter how carefully the colors are chosen, institutional decor ends up as either vomit green, unmentionable brown, nicotine yellow, or surgical appliance pink. By some little-understood process of sympathetic resonance, corridors painted in those colors always smell slightly of boiled cabbage--even if no cabbage is ever cooked in the vicinity. (_Equal Rites_) l lTravel Any seasoned traveler soon learns to avoid anything wished on them as a regional speciality, because all the term means is that the dish is so unpleasant the people living everywhere else will bite off their own legs rather than eat it. But hosts still press it upon distant guests anyway Go on, have the dogs head stuffed with macerated cabbage and pork noses--its a regional speciality. (_The Last Continent_) l lYoung men And then there was the young male walk. At least women swung only their hips. Young men swung everything, from the shoulders down. You have to try to occupy a lot of space. It makes you look bigger, like a tomcat fluffing his tail. The boys tried to walk big in self-defense against all those other big boys out there. Im bad, Im fierce, Im cool, Id like a pint of shandy and me mam wants me home by nine. (_Monstrous Regiment_) l lClass Old money meant that it had been made so long ago that the black deeds that had originally filled the coffers were now historically irrelevant. Funny, that a brigand for a father was something you kept quiet about, but a slave-taking pirate for a great-great-great-grandfather was something to boast of over the port. Time turned the evil bastards into rogues, and rogue was a word with a twinkle in its eye and nothing to be ashamed of. (_Making Money_) l lol lol l and more! Culled from all the Discworld novels, The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld confirms Pratchetts place in the pantheon of great satirists and proves why the Chicago Tribune has praised his Discworld as entertaining and gloriously funny . . . an accomplishment nothing short of magical. lol lol lul
