A Life in Smoke: A Memoir $0.99 “I accepted the certainty of my untimely death with gallows humor and a calculator. I’d read somewhere that each cigarette you smoke knocks seven minutes off your time on the planet. To amuse myself, I did the math: 153,000 cigarettes = two years of my life, up in smoke.” Julia Hansen first lit up at nineteen. Twenty years later, she was editing books about health — and smoking a pack or two a day. She denied her son fast food, but smoked in the house and car; curtailed his video games, but lit up at his soccer matches. Despite repeated attempts to quit, she always crawled back to her beloved menthol lights. Smoking had become a metaphorical chain around her neck, shackling her to an early death. Haunted by a nightmarish vision of her future — her son at her deathbed, begging her not to leave him — Hansen devised a drastic quit method. She bought a 72-foot length of chain that was “unwieldy as a corpse” and locked herself to a radiator in her dining room. What followed: seven days of cold-turkey misery, comic absurdity, and revelation as Hansen stepped from behind her wall of smoke to face her addiction to nicotine — and some painful truths. Clanking around her house like Marley’s ghost, white-knuckling cravings, and struggling to understand tobacco’s unyielding grip on her, Hansen confronted her life in smoke: fractured relationships, lifelong battles with alcohol and depression, and a profound sense of emptiness. On day 1, the chain was her addiction to nicotine, each link a story about cigarettes and self-loathing. By day 7, it had revealed its ringing, rattling truth — that every smoker has a story, and it always centers on clinging to a comfort that can kill you. In the end, Hansen’s story was painfully simple: She smoked to survive her life. And then, to save it, she quit.

Chapters: Glenbard West High School, College of Dupage, Glenbard South High School, College of Dupage Library, Hadley Junior High School, Glen Ellyn, Glen Oak Country Club, Lewis University College. Excerpt: Glenbard West High School – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first high school that students in the area attended was Glen Ellyn High School, which served students from 1916-22. These classes were held at the DuPage Bank Building. By 1920, it was clear that a new facility was required as classes were spread between the bank building and local church basements. The district purchased a site on Honeysuckle Hill for the price of US$1. The current building opened in 1922 as Glenbard Township High School; the first of the district’s high schools. The school was built in the style of a castle, complete with roof turrets. ‘Glenbard’ as it was originally named, was constructed in 1922, atop Honeysuckle Hill, overlooking Lake Ellyn. Built with dark red brick, the building was built with castle-like design, complete with a turret and other minor castle details. Athletics were initially played in a gymnasium built in the school building itself, but with the construction of a $12 million state of the art field house across the street, the once gym was turned into the Robert D. Elliott Library, named after one of the most influential principals in school history. Across the road from Glenbard West is Bill Duchon Field, where both football and other school sports are played such as both boys and girls soccer and track are played. Originally built in 1923, it was renamed in 1980 in honor of a former head football coach. The stadium seats up to 5,000 spectators, of which the home side overlooks Lake Ellyn. In 2001, Duchon field was named one of the top 10 pl… More: |

Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow $0.01 He thought I’d forged my mom’s name on the slip. How stupid is that? On this thing Mom just made a kind of squiggly shape on the page. That jerk didn’t even think about what he was saying, didn’t even ask himself why her signature might be weird. He’s one of those people who think illiteracy is like AIDS. It only exists in Africa.—from Kiffe Kiffe Tomorrow  "A tale for anyone who has ever lived outside looking in, especially from that alien country called adolescence.

Mom over Miami $11.65 What does it say about me that the thing that has finally made me “cool” among my foster son’s pals is my ability to portion corn chips out of a warehouse-club monster bag, then drown said corn chips in pasteurized melted cheese product?

Chapters: Indoor Arenas in Hungary, Opera Houses in Hungary, FÅ’nix Hall, Budapest Sports Arena, Hungarian State Opera House, Kincsem Park, Veszprém Aréna, Palace of Music, Ifjabb Ocskay Gábor Ice Hall. Excerpt: Fnix Hall is a multi-purpose arena in Debrecen, Hungary. Fonix Hall holds 8,500 people and opened in 2002. It hosted the 2002 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. The arena was named after the Phoenix, a mythical firebird which is the symbol of Debrecen. Fnix Hall is located in Debrecen, which is the second largest city of Hungary, in a pleasant environment: close to the Nagyerd area, near Road 4, along the thoroughfare to Koice called Kassai út. As you step inside the building through the main entrance, you immediately find yourself in the arena space. Along one of the longitudinal sides of the amphitheater, there are locker rooms and service facilities for the athletes, while the other side is actually a multifunctional area that can be freely divided with the help of relocatable partition walls. In our city, the demand had long been in the air for a state-of-the-art convention hall/arena with a larger than average seating capacity. The final impulse was provided by the possibility of acting as the host for the 2002 World Championship in Gymnastics. In fact, the plans for an already existing sports hall from the city of Tallinn (Estonia) were adapted to suit the local circumstances. The construction of Fnix Hall was completed in eight months. Since its inauguration, the hall has acted as the venue for a variety of events (such as ice hockey, indoor soccer, basketball and handball tournaments, hot air balloon and ballroom dancing championships, ballet performances, music concerts, various exhibitions, conferences and even ice |

My Ex Best Friend: A Novel of Suburbia $11.99 Journalist, wife, and mother of three, Claire Newman juggles work, soccer games, birthday parties, and errands. A successful writer at Nationweek, America’s second largest newsweekly, she makes her living by being, as she says, “a relentless snoop,” but she never was able to figure out why her best friend of twenty-three years, Lydia Finelli, dropped out of her life with no explanation. Claire hasn’t seen Lydia in five years, and her unresolved hurt and anger still linger, brought to the surface by a chance encounter at the local bakery. When Lydia calls Claire and asks for her help, urging her to come discuss the situation in person, Claire figures it is one of “life’s rare opportunities to tie up a loose end.”But when Claire arrives at Lydia’s house, she finds her ex-best friend dead. While all the obvious signs point to suicide, Claire can’t shake the feeling there’s something very wrong. The irrepressible, feisty Claire starts investigating, and soon the list of suspects includes Lydia’s neurologist husband, her psychiatrist neighbor, and even her son’s handsome soccer coach. As Claire uncovers the secrets of her friend’s past, and their relationship, the puzzle becomes even more complicated, and she finds that she really didn’t know Lydia very well at all.But knowledge comes with a price, and as Claire unravels the mystery of Lydia’s death, she puts herself — and the people she loves — in harm’s way. Smart and funny, with razor-sharp storytelling, My Ex-Best Friend is the debut of a fresh new voice in contemporary fiction. |

She was the Middle School PTA President, Soccer Team Mom and served on the Church Altar Guild. Furthermore, she was beautiful. Morning, noon or midnight, you could always find her dressed and groomed as though she had stepped right out of the pages of Vogue Magazine. Everything about her was just – well perfect. Perfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect figure, perfect house, and damn it, she was nice, too! Why would anyone like that want to kill herself?Lexie and Sue vow to find out what really happened, but have to fit it in between the frustrations of driving carpools, going on field trips, and seeing to the care of Lexie’s cranky aging mother. The inseparable friends find out that Pamela’s perfect life seemed to have more than just a few cracks. They discover a greedy ex-husband and an affair with the ‘boy toy’ gardener hidden in her past, and that the ‘perfect’ husband had just told her that he was leaving for another woman.In the meantime, Lexie’s already chaotic life is further complicated by the fact that she can’t live with her almost ex-husband, but can’t seem to live without him either. Lately though, she’s started to have feelings for her childhood friend, Police Detective Tom Bryant too, who just happens to be there whenever she stumbles into trouble. Lexie wonders if it’s really possible to be in love with two men at the same time? Probably not, but it sure is |

Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen $10.99 Everyone thinks they know the real Gordon Ramsay: rude, loud, pathologically driven, stubborn as hellFor the first time, Ramsay tells the full inside story of his life and how he became the world’s most famous and infamous chef: his difficult childhood, his brother’s heroin addiction, his failed first career as a soccer player, his fanatical pursuit of gastronomic perfection and his TV persona—all of the things that made him the celebrated culinary talent and media powerhouse that he is today. In Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen Ramsay talks frankly about his tough and emotional childhood, including his father’s alcoholism and violence and their effect on his relationships with his mother and siblings. His rootless upbringing saw him moving from house to house and town to town followed by the authorities and debtors as his father lurched from one failed job to another. He recounts his short-circuited career as a soccer player, when he was signed by Scotland’s premier club at the age of fifteen but then, just two years later, dropped out when injury dashed his hopes. Ramsay searched for another vocation and, much to his father’s disgust, went into catering, which his father felt was meant for “poofs.”He trained under some of the most famous and talented chefs in Europe, working to exacting standards and under extreme conditions that would sometimes erupt in physical violence. But he thrived, with his exquisite palate, incredible vision and relentless work ethic. Dish by dish, restaurant by restaurant, he gradually built a Michelin-starred empire.A candid, eye-opening look into the extraordinary life and mind of an elite and unique restaurateur and chef, Roasting in Hell’s Kitchen will change your perception not only of Gordon Ramsay but of the world of cuisine. |

Excerpt: Bend It Like Beckham is a 2002 drama film starring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley first released in the United Kingdom. The film was directed by Gurinder Chadha. Its title comes from the football player David Beckham and his skill at scoring from free kicks by “bending” (curving) the ball past a wall of defenders. Jesminder “Jess” Bhamra (Parminder Nagra) is the 18-year-old daughter of Punjabi Sikh immigrants living in London who work at Heathrow Airport. Juliette “Jules” Paxton (Keira Knightley) is the daughter of an English couple. Jess is infatuated with football, but because she is a woman her parents do not allow her to play. However, sometimes she plays in the park with various boys and her good friend Tony, a closet homosexual. When Jules discovers Jess’ skills, she invites Jess to try out for her local team, the Hounslow Harriers, coached by Joe (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). He is skeptical of an Indian player joining the team, but when he discovers her skills, and that she gels instantly with Jules, he puts her on the team. Jess lies to Joe about her parents being onboard with the idea. Jess develops an attraction to Joe, and when the team travels to Hamburg Jess and Joe’s relationship develops; at the end of the night the two are about to kiss when Jules, who also has a crush on Joe, interrupts them, souring Jess and Jules’ friendship. When Jess arrives at Jules’ house to fix the friendship, Mrs. Paxton is misled and thinks that the pair are involved in a lesbian relationship. Jess’ parents learn that Jess has been playing and become more strict, ensuring she does not attend matches. Meanwh… More: |

Secret Desires of a Soccer Mom $10.99 “I felt fairly confident that I would take this information to my grave–even though it was the juiciest thing to happen in Aberdeen Mists in about eight years.” Paige Atwell appears to have a fulfilling life in the cozy community of Aberdeen Mists–a nice house, a great husband, and two young kids. But behind the façade of neighborhood coffee klatches and carpools, Paige is growing restless with her increasingly busy spouse, the early onset of her ten-year-old daughter’s teenage hostility, and her young son’s alarming preoccupation with bodily functions. When her friend and neighbor, Karen, looking even more vibrant and gorgeous than usual, confesses to a passionate affair with a sizzling Latin lover, Paige assesses her own state of domestic ecstasy: not good. But Paige’s attempts to “re-sexualize” her marriage produce comically calamitous consequences. Just when Paige begins to wonder whether an extramarital remedy may be the key to happiness, Karen is found dead in her garage, lying in a pool of blood. The residents of Aberdeen Mists may be satisfied with the freak accident theory–that Karen fell and hit her head on a metal toolbox–but Paige knows the adulterous secret that could blow the closed case wide open. With sleuthing skills acquired from her favorite TV crime dramas, Paige vows to find out the truth. Her list of potential perps (that’s what Law & Order calls them, right?) includes Karen’s aggrieved husband, Doug, and sexy Spanish lothario Javier. As Paige’s Miss Marple—esque adventure winds through her allegedly quiet enclave to the boundaries of her ownfidelity, what she uncovers may prove more shocking than she ever imagined. In this outrageously entertaining gem, Robyn Harding shines a light on the plight of suburban housewives–the sacrifices, the secrets, and the desperate lengths they’ll go to to keep up appearances. |

Surviving Sexual Brokenness: What Grace Can Do $9.99 A man with his wife at the table on the other side of the restaurant is polite but distracted. A woman at work stares out her office window with a blank expression, her mind far away. A father wraps his arm around his daughter in the church pew; his eyes are on the pulpit, but his mind wanders. What about the college student on the soccer field or in the library? The doctor prepping for surgery? The realtor showing the house next door? The mailman on your front porch. Your Sunday school teacher . . . perhaps even your preacher. These people may be dominated by some form of sexual brokenness, from pornography to adultery to unwanted homosexual temptation. They share a secret they hope and pray will never be revealed. The urge to “act out” in their brokenness is destroying them because it conflicts with a life they have already chosen. They don’t know how to live with it; they don’t know how to be rid of it. They may not know what caused it; they only want to “cure” it. “Am I just a misplaced homosexual?” “Did God make me this way?” “Why won’t He change me?” Surrounding them are the ones who sense something is amiss but have no clue what to do or where to find help. They may be confused by the teachings of the church: love the sinner; hate the sin. This seemingly Biblical response can actually send the message to the struggler that he is, in fact, unlovable because his identity seems inseparable from his sin. Surviving Sexual Brokenness examines the roots and the roadblocks and provides understanding, encouragement, hope and help through Biblical truth and Christian compassion for the freedom-seeker and those who travel alongside. |

To Love-Ru: List of to Love-Ru Characters $10.28 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: This is a list of characters from the Japanese anime and manga series To Love-Ru. Each character’s profile is based more on the manga than the anime adaptation. Also many of the characters now make a cameo appearance in the manga Mayoi Neko Overrun!. Rito Yuuki.Rito Yuuki Yki Rito) The male protagonist of To Love-Ru, Rito is a 16 (currently 17) year-old high-school student. Rito used to be on the soccer team in junior high and was quite good, but quit because he was constantly helping his father with his mangaka duties, thus did not want to leave his sister Mikan alone in the house. Mikan comments he is very good at the most “useless little things”, like crane and festival games (e.g. hoops, catching fish, squirt guns). Along with the numerous useless little things Rito is good at, he is also an accomplished florist, gardener, and horticulturalist.Rito’s nature is borderline clumsy, where he always ends up ogling or groping the many girls in the series (though mostly unintentionally). It is only by accident that he encounters Lala Satalin Deviluke, and despite his enduring feelings for Haruna Sairenji, Rito shows signs of developing deeper affection towards Lala throughout the story but is unsure if what he feels is actually love. This is shown again when he couldn’t help but think about Lala even though he was with a naked Haruna. It is recently revealed that he is in love with Lala, but he is also in love with Haruna. At the end of the series, he confesses to Lala, but tells her he also loves Haruna, yet she is happy on both parts. He is confused as polygamy is illegal in Japan where Lala replied that once he is king of the universe the laws of earth no longer apply and forces him to go tell Haruna (strapping a jet pack to his back).

Travelling with Che Guevara: The Making of a Revolutionary $14.95 Published for the first time in the U.S.—one of the two diaries on which the movie The Motorcycle Diaries is based—the moving and at times hilarious account of Che Guevara and Alberto Granado’s eight-month tour of South America in 1952. In 1952 Alberto Granado, a young doctor, and his friend Ernesto Guevara, a 23-year-old medical student from a distinguished Buenos Aires family, decided to explore their continent. They set off from Cordoba in Argentina on a Norton 500cc motorbike and traveled through Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. The duo’s adventures vary from the suspenseful (stowing away on a cargo ship, exploring Incan ruins) to the comedic (falling in love, drinking, fighting…) to the serious (volunteering as firemen and at a leper colony). They worked as day laborers along the way—as soccer coaches, medical assistants, and furniture movers. The poverty and exploitation of the native population started the process that was to turn Ernesto—the debonair, fun-loving student—into Che, the revolutionary who had a profound impact on the history of several nations. Originally published in Spanish in Cuba in 1978, the first English translation was published by Random House UK in 2003. The movie, based on Granado’s and Che’s diaries, directed by Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun), was produced by Robert Redford and others. Shown at the Sundance Film Festival, it generated great reviews and a frenzied auction for distribution rights, which was won by Focus Features. Granado, now 82, was a consultant to Salles during the production. 10 b/w photos. |
