With his signature acerbic wit and hilarious voice, 20-something author, blogger, and entrepreneur Shane Burcaw is back with an essay collection about living a full life in a body that many people perceive as a tragedy. From anecdotes about first introductions where people patted him on the head instead of shaking his hand, to stories of passersby mistaking his able-bodied girlfriend for a nurse, Shane tackles awkward situations and assumptions with humor and grace.

When Singer sewing machine tycoon Edward Clark built a luxury apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side in the late 1800s, it was derisively dubbed “the Dakota” for being as far from the center of the downtown action as its namesake territory on the nation’s western frontier. Despite its remote location, the quirky German Renaissance-style castle, with its intricate façade, peculiar interior design, and gargoyle guardians peering down on Central Park, was an immediate hit, particularly among the city’s well-heeled intellectuals and artists.

Il fuoco, il fumo. Strade notturne con semafori rossi mossi dal vento, tende rosse agitate da brezze invisibili. Donne angeliche in pericolo, agenti dell'Fbi con una passione maniacale per caffè e torte alla ciliegia. Il fischio delle segherie, le sirene sull'acqua. Queste e mille altre ossessioni affollano la fantasmagoria allucinata di David Lynch, regista fra i più visionari della sua generazione. Il suo cinema è un'esperienza simile a quella che si vive al risveglio, quando il mondo del sogno sfuma lentamente nella consapevolezza.

In 1994, Jack Carneal had a loose collection of friends - including Ned Oldham - who liked to get together and play some tunes now and then. It didn’t seem like much of anything, until Ned’s younger brother, Will Oldham, invited the guys to be his backing band on that summer’s Lollapalooza tour. Follow Jack Carneal as he navigates the chaos of the road, the trials and tribulations of being in a band, and the personal sacrifices and demands necessary to make it as a successful artist.

While much has been written about his father, Sam, a titan of industry, there is no public record of Charles Bronfman’s thoughts on his own life, family, career and his significant accomplishments in sport and philanthropy. Distilled does just that, chronicling key events in the life of the heir to one of Canada’s great fortunes. Born in 1931 to the fabulously wealthy Bronfmans, Charles grew up in a 20-room mansion with many staff. Via their control of the distilling giant Seagram, the Bronfman family dominated the liquor business.

Easy For You To Say is "Stuttering" John Melendez's memoir of his childhood being bullied in school for his stutter; his years as an on-air personality with The Howard Stern Show; and his subsequent 10-year career as a writer and on-air announcer for Jay Leno's Tonight Show. It details his famously acerbic relationships with celebrities he interviewed/insulted (Raquel Welch once punched him in the face). In the audiobook, Howard Stern emerges as a surprisingly mean, stingy, and megalomaniacal boss - and Jay Leno as a seeming sufferer from OCD.

Je cours, paniqué. J’ai encore été piégé par ma mère. À moins d’un miracle, mon père va me tuer à soir. Le même style d’arnaque que d’habitude. J’ai beau courir, l’horizon s’éloigne et l’enfer approche à grandes claques, avec un verre de vin dans une main. Ma mère est en colère tout le temps. Contre le mauvais temps, contre les hommes en général, quoique "les hommes en général" ont l’air de ressembler beaucoup à son papa à elle et au mien... Elle est en colère contre beaucoup de choses, mais surtout contre moi.

For 15 years, Tom Stephen had the unique distinction of being both drummer and manager of the Jeff Healey Band. The dual role was fraught with conflicts of interest. One minute, he was leading the debauched life of a rock musician; the next, he was disciplining the band for the havoc they caused. But few knew or understood Jeff Healey better. Funny and loyal, with a luminous mind and staggering talent, Healey was also provincial, stubborn, obnoxious, and antagonistic. This book explores both sides with honesty, clarity, and humor and reveals what life for the band was really like.

"Non ho mai creduto alle sliding doors del destino, eppure la mattina in cui stavo per fare uno degli incontri fondamentali della mia vita, quello con Anna Marchesini, accadde qualcosa, o meglio non accadde qualcosa, il cui ricordo ancora mi gela il sangue".

John Farnham is the quintessential Aussie legend. As a teenager he gave up an apprenticeship to chase his musical dreams, hitting the big time with the catchy pop ditty 'Sadie (the Cleaning Lady)'. But it wasn't smooth sailing from there. A family man at heart and the most loyal of friends, John was sometimes uncomfortable with the spotlight and for many years struggled to make his music career as successful as those close to him - including Glenn Wheatley and Molly Meldrum - could see it could be.
