Author: Nick Douglas
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Contemporary
Non-fiction:Humor
Description:
New York Magazine proclaims, Twitter is the hot web company right now...the Next Big Thing; the New York Times calls it one of the fastest-growing phenomena on the Internet; Time magazine claims Twitter is on its way to becoming the next killer app; and Newsweek notes that Suddenly, it seems as though all the world′s a-twitter. Since its creation in March 2006, Twitter has unleashed a torrent of self-expression from its six million members around the world, who send and read each others′ tweets, messages up to 140 characters in length. Friends use the site to make plans; relatives use it to stay connected; politicians use it to lobby for votes; and humorists use it to perfect their craft. In fact, Twitter users have reinvented the classic medium of the witticism in a site where anyone can be a Dorothy Parker or an Oscar Wilde. Twitter Wit is the first compilation of Twitter aphorisms, with submissions ranging from quotidian vignettes like I bet in Sweden the Ikea instructions are in English to bumper sticker-type quips like I think the bird of love is the dove. My husband thinks it′s the swallow, and contributors ranging from celebrities like Shaquille O′Neal, Jimmy Fallon, Penn Jillette, John Cleese, and Steven Fry to regular people with previously unappreciated sharp tongues. Featuring a foreword by Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, this authorized anthology of the thousand most most clever and memorable tweets relates the diversity of human experience in hilarious bite-sized pieces.

Title: A Free Man of Color
Author: Barbara Hambly
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Mystery:Historical
Description:Amazon.com ReviewIn Barbara Hambly's rich and poignant thriller, it's 1833 and Ben January--a man of mixed blood making his living as a musician because he's not allowed to practice surgery--is back home in New Orleans after years of freedom in Paris. Trying to walk a caste line more complicated than India's, January risks his precarious position to investigate the killing of a young woman who--like his own younger, lighter half-sister--is the mistress of a wealthy white man. What has changed most in New Orleans while Ben was away is the influence of the white Americans: rough, ignorant, instinctively racist. Only one of these--a policeman named Abishag Shaw--seems to understand that January is at least as smart and valuable as he is, and even he at times appears to be ready to side with the white majority and pin the crime on Ben. From Library JournalWith this historical novel, Hambly departs from her usual work in the sffantasy genre (e.g., Traveling with the Dead, LJ 895). Her new work is set in 19th-century Louisiana Creole society, where it was customary for a man to have a wife and also to keep a mistress in her own house. Benjamin January, a free Creole with dark brown skin, has returned to this society after living in Paris for more than a decade. He is trained as a surgeon, but in Louisiana, he makes his living playing the piano. Soon he is the main suspect in the death of a wealthy man's young mistress, found murdered at a ball. January spends the rest of the book gathering evidence in his defense with the help of his sisters and a host of other colorful characters he encounters on the run. The result is a complicated mystery that could have used more romantic involvement. Recommended for larger libraries.?Shirley Coleman, Ann Arbor Dist. Lib., Mich. 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Title: The Door of the Unreal
Author: Gerald Biss
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Horror
Description:
General Books publication date: 2009 Original publication date: 1920 Original Publisher: Putnam Subjects: Werewolves Notes: This is a black and white OCR reprint of the original. It has no illustrations and there may be typos or missing text. When you buy the General Books edition of this book you get free trial access to Million-Books.com where you can select from more than a million books for free. Excerpt: The Door of the Unreal THE BRIGHTON ROAD My name is Lincoln Osgood, my age thirty, my nationality American, my means -- well, such as never to cause me a moment's anxiety or the negation of any fad; my hobbies have always been travel and science, the latter more particularly in its human than in its mechanical aspects. I am not, if I may say so, in any way the Yankee millionaire of popular fiction or even of fact. I both write and talk the King's English, I trust; and to tell the truth, I was educated up at Christ Church, Oxford, which is my first link with these extraordinary incidents, which it has now fallen to my lot to chronicle. It was up at Oxford ten years ago that I first met Burgess Clymping, with whom, from the first night we sat next to each other in the wonderful old hall of the House with its centuries of historical portraits, I struck up the great friendship of my life. He was a year younger than I, the owner of a nice property in Sussex and had seen but little of life in those days, whereas I had travelled a lot even then for my age. It is the accident of this long friendship and my travels in obscure and unfrequented parts that brought me into the circle of the strange doings I am about to relate -- to which, by good luck, I held the key. I am in no way the hero of the piece -- if hero, in the conventional sense, there be at all -- not even the protagonist, as the Greeks used to call it. I am merely the handy man of the play, so to speak, who chanced into the middle of this unconventional drama at its height, and helped to see it...

Title: Hell to Pay
Author: Simon R. Green
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fantasy:Detective
Description:From Publishers WeeklyLady Damnation, Old Father Time, a world weary Count Dracula and the hard-drinking storybook character Bruin Bear are only a few of the beings that Green produces for his seventh novel set in the sinister and psychedelic world of Nightside. None, however, are more powerful than the Griffin, an immortal who built his empire on the carcasses of foes, who has now summoned paranormal PI John Taylor to find his granddaughter. Taylor specializes in locating lost things; his Sight—which allows him to see into other dimensions—should be ideal for the task. But when an entity in the Griffins mansion blocks his abilities, Taylor must investigate the old-fashioned way: questioning the Griffins family members one by one. Taylors q&a sessions are less than thrilling, and the numerous references to the familys fearsome reputation grow tiresome. Fortunately, Green throws in a number of left-field surprises, spicing things up with an attack of fanatical nuns (called the Salvation Army Sisterhood), a bloodthirsty gangster and a DNA-stealing Charnel Chimera. Indeed, the most entertaining aspect lies not in Taylors investigation but in anticipating what Greens twisted imagination will conjure next. (Jan.) br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. In the wake of the war that left the Nightside leaderless, Jeremiah Griffin-one of the last of the immortal human families-plans to fill the power vacuum. But his granddaughter has disappeared, and he wants John Taylor to use his special abilities to find her. Except someone-or something-is blocking Taylors abilities.

Title: Midnight Tides & the Bonehunters
Author: Steven Erikson
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fantasy
Description:Midnight TidesAfter decades of warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the rule of the Warlock King. But peace has been exacted at a terrible price - a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether has devoured all of its less-civilised neighbours with rapacious hunger. All save one - the Tiste Edur. But Lether is approaching a long-prophesied renaissance - from kingdom and lost colony to Empire reborn - and has fixed its gaze on the rich lands of the Tiste Edur. It seems inevitable that the tribes will surrender, either to the suffocating weight of gold, or to slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so Destiny has decreed.A pivotal treaty between the two sides nears - but unknown ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of an altogether more profound, primal battle - a confrontation with the still-raw wound of betrayal and the craving for vengeance at its heart. War and confrontation, magic and myth collide in this, the stunning fifth chapter in Steven Eriksons magnificent -Malazan Book of the Fallen- sequence, hailed as an epic of the imagination and a fantasy classic in the making.The BonehuntersThe Seven Cities Rebellion is over, Sha-ik is dead, but a last rebel force remains, holed up in the city of Y-Ghatan under the fanatical command of Leoman of the Flails. The prospect of laying siege to this ancient fortress makes the battle-weary Malaz 14th Army uneasy - for it was here that the Empire-s greatest champion Dassem Ultor was slain and a tide of Malazan blood spilled... But agents of a far greater conflict have made their opening moves. The Crippled God has been granted a place in the pantheon, a schism threatens, sides must be chosen but whatever each god decides, the rules have changed - and the first blood spilled will be in the mortal world: a world in which a host of characters, familiar and new, search for a fate that they might fashion by their own will. If only the gods would leave them alone. But gods are disinclined to be kind. There shall be war, war in the heavens. And the prize? Nothing less than existence itself-
