The Fault in Our Stars The Parody: A Letter to Augustus Waters
Stir Ling - 2014
What happened after Augustus Waters left? Have a glimpse. As the wind blew, the British Rose Man faced the Stonehenge: “Redeemer deceiver mister concealer reveller. Look at it, slanting to the right and slanting to the left, standing still in silent awe.” “What’s that?” I asked. “Stone,” the British man said. “Well, and human.” —JOHN CARDBURY, A Royal Affliction Dearest Augustus, It has been one hundred and ninety seven days since you are transported to the other side when the darkness nibbles the earth. If I’m still around tomorrow, it would be exactly two months of lock up in Memorial. Well, today is my fifth ICU-free day and I decide my father is depressed. Presumably because he rarely leaves the hospital, spends quite a lot of time with me, reads the same newspaper over and over, cries a lot, and devotes quite a bit of his unpaid leaves to think about my expire date. Have we not agree that depression is not a side effect of cancer? It is a side effect of dying. Verily, almost everything is. Mom? Mom got her master in social work months back. She is now a qualified Patrick. Without the issue of ballessness, obviously. However, she is now busy being my exclusive unsalaried Patrick. Perhaps shortly she will be free enough to become a publicly available one to the other kids. And I swear upon the life of my mother that I will be sighing at her from heaven every time she ask someone to share their feelings. Get your copy today. Okay?

Through Our Eyes Only?: The Search for Animal Consciousness
Marian Stamp Dawkins - 1993
Others feel that the issue of animal consciousness is beyond the scope of science. In Through Our Eyes Only, Marian Stamp Dawkins presents the exciting new evidence in animal behavior that points to the existence of higher consciousness in some species. Here, Dawkins argues that the idea of consciousness in other species has now progressed from a vague possibility to a plausible, scientifically respectable view. Wild vervet monkeys seem to know which members of their group are reliable messengers of danger and which commonly cry wolf; vampire bats often give food to starving companions--but only to those who have helped them in the past. Through Our Eyes Only is an immensely engaging exploration of one of the greatest remaining biological mysteries: the possibility of conscious experiences in other species. Written in a lively style accessible to the general reader, the book aims to show just how near--and how far--we are to understanding animal consciousness.

Kathi S. Barton - 2016
He and his dragon alter ego have been on this earth for a very long time. Danburn is accustom to his orders being followed to the letter, no questions asked, so when this feisty young woman bucks his authority he is beyond angry. Kendrick Barrera can’t seem to get caught up. Every time she turns around, her sister is in trouble again. Now, because of her sister’s new mess, she’s being evicted and has nowhere to go. Danburn’s intentions were to defend her honor, but when Kendrick intervenes, she steps in front of a punch intended for her mouthy landlord. Now Danburn has to step back and take a good long look at himself, and he doesn’t much like what he sees. Kendrick doesn’t care for the overbearing lord of the manor and makes no bones about telling him so either. No one, especially him, is going to tell her what to do or how to act or dress. There is something about the feisty woman that has touched Danburn’s heart. She has a rare honesty and bravery that has him take notice. A woman like that is hard to find and should be protected and cherished. The chemistry is there, they’ve both felt it, but controlling his mouth just might get in the way of winning Kendrick’s heart….
