Maisel, this blockbuster debut set in 1960s California features the singular voice of Elizabeth Zott, a scientist whose career takes a detour when she becomes the star of a beloved TV cooking show. Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with--of all things--her mind. True chemistry results.But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ("combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride") proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.

    "Suddenly there were three Drew Hastings," Hastings writes, "me, the one who left me, and the one who replaced me." And so begins a life-long pursuit of a name, and one long, slow skid toward the realization that we're all just making it up as we go along.The son of a single mother, Hastings picks his way through suburban and urban Ohio, obsessed with proving himself against the backdrop of the counterculture of the Sixties and Seventies. He opens a paper shredding business, tries his hand as a rug salesman, even dabbles in muskrat trapping. Most enterprises end in disaster and nothing lasts long. Finally someone suggests standup comedy-friends always said he was funny, plus the idea of 'Drew Hastings' on marquees all over the country is too much to pass up. He moves to Hollywood where he flirts with fame but can't quite bring himself to grovel long enough. And just as a dark depression takes hold, he finally bolts, buys a farm in rural Appalachian Ohio, and at the age of fifty, starts over, breeding cattle, developing real estate, and yes, becoming the mayor of Hillsboro, Ohio.Refreshingly honest and darkly funny, Chasing Drew Hastings is a wide-ranging memoir of a life ruled by misadventure and coincidence, growing up a confused kid and striving to find out what it means to be a man. Drawing on everything from small town politics to the ambition and malaise of show biz, Drew Hastings reckons with American masculinity, fatherhood, and inheritance head on. Unlikely, irreverent, and wholly original, the result is endlessly entertaining, and perhaps even inadvertently revelatory.

    Naruto was about Sasuke fighting the Raikage and his ninjas and also the Kazekage Gaara of the sand with his sibling ninja brother Kankuro and his sister Temari. One Piece was about Luffy getting saved by Ivankov and Inazuma and Luffy saving his brother Ace, but it's too late. Bleach was about how Uryu and Renji is fighting the espada octavo Szayelaporro. I really enjoyed reading those stories because I'm a big fan of manga. In Naruto I learned that Sasuke won't stop his mission from capturing Danzo and also that he won't turn over a new leaf. In Bleach I learned that the espada Szayelaporro is still stronger than Uryu and Renji combined. A character I can relate to is Naruto because he a good hearted person just like me.

    I can’t wait to set the record straight and finally give people a peek behind the green screen.” And set the record straight he does. Playing with Myself is a first-hand account of the journey that led Randy Rainbow from his childhood as the over-imaginative, often misunderstood little boy who carried a purse in the second grade to his first job on Broadway as the host at Hooters and on to the creation of his trademark comedy character. In chapters titled “Pajama Bottoms” (a look back at the days when he wore pajama bottoms on his head to pretend he was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz), “Yes, It’s My Real Name, Shut Up!” (no explanation necessary...) and “Pink Glasses” (a rose-colored homage to his favorite accessory), Playing with Myself is a memoir that answers the question “Can an introverted musical theatre nerd with a MacBook and a dream save the world, one show tune at a time?”

    It begins with Ami Mizuno being transported to the world of Dungeon Keeper, and forced to become a Keeper herself. It's better than it sounds, don't you worry. Do note that due to the nature of Anime Addventure, the story branches out at certain places. The main plot, as written by Pusakuronu, is linear; only those entries are considered here.The crossover uses anime continuity of Sailor Moon, only applying bits from other continuities if absolutely necessary. It also acknowledges the events of the first Dungeon Keeper game.” – tvtropes.org

    

    As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he’s stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most. To cope, he walks for miles through a nearly deserted city, smelling only his own breath. He vacuums his apartment twice a day, fails to hoard anything, and contemplates how sex workers and acupuncturists might be getting by during quarantine. As the world gradually settles into a new reality, Sedaris too finds himself changed. His offer to fix a stranger’s teeth rebuffed, he straightens his own, and ventures into the world with new confidence. Newly orphaned, he considers what it means, in his seventh decade, no longer to be someone’s son. And back on the road, he discovers a battle-scarred America: people weary, storefronts empty or festooned with Help Wanted signs, walls painted with graffiti reflecting the contradictory messages of our time: Eat the Rich. Trump 2024. Black Lives Matter. In Happy-Go-Lucky, David Sedaris once again captures what is most unexpected, hilarious, and poignant about these recent upheavals, personal and public, and expresses in precise language both the misanthropy and desire for connection that drive us all. If we must live in interesting times, there is no one better to chronicle them than the incomparable David Sedaris.

    Luke Kondor comes at you sideways, surprising you with universal truths beneath a whacked-out Bizarro veneer. The Run Fantastic is constantly entertaining, and right up my alley.” —Danger Slater, author of I Will Rot Without YouAt 5:45 am, Ampersand Jones develops a brain aneurysm and dies in his sleep. He then gets up and goes for a run. With his positive-thinking podcasts for company, he decides that he’s going to run himself back to life, having to outrun warring running clubs, reanimated road kill, and the personification of death along the way.The Run Fantastic is a surreal comedy about lost boys and dead things, sitting somewhere between The Mighty Boosh, Peter Pan, and Beetlejuice.“I’m very impressed with Luke’s brain. I think he should send The Run Fantastic to David Firth so he can make an animation to accompany a reading of this entire book, that’s how unsettling, hilarious and Northern The Run Fantastic is. It’s full of clever metaphors, daft as a Mighty Boosh episode and so beautiful in places that everything about humanity, love and death makes sense, if only for a minute.” —Madeleine Swann, author of Fortune Box
