Chama Stories $7.49 Mario Santos is a brown-faced Huck Finn on the banks of his Mississippi, the Chama River. He is Holden Caulfield out of the gray city and atop the beautiful mountains of Northern New Mexico, under the influence of a Pentecostal camp meeting; MacCauley Caulkin Home Alone and ankle deep in Tabernacle sawdust. Our ten-year old hero asks the hard spiritual questions of existence through a courageous and reckless abandon of convention, and an ADHD passion for adventure. He obliterates religious pomposity and sanctimonious boundaries with his natural discernment of Christian character and religious characters and cuts to the guts of hypocrisy like hes cleaning a freshly caught German Brown trout. Mario Santos innocently introduces us to a God who might not be recognizable to those convinced of a sterile, stained-glass, Sundays-only deity of cushioned pews and hushed vaunted ceilings.Rolando Benavidez writes as colorful an auto biography as you will ever read, matching the wild wardrobe of a certain angel that keeps plucking Mario out of harms way as only a supernatural Big Indian can. Youll wonder how the story can be true unless youve also experienced heroic, larger-than-life parents and a hilariously personal God. You dont have to be in the patched-up shoes of a Spanish-speaking, brown-skinned Pentecostal preachers kid to enjoy Chama Stories, Mario Santos has got that covered and good, as he invites us to hang on for an adventure we wont soon forget.Chama Stories is a page turning, laugh-out-loud finger-tip trip down the authors memory lane; a dusty lane, set in New Mexicos beautiful Chama Valley, rife with dirt and bumps and outhouses and overzealous deacons and witches and outrageous names and characters too many and funny to list. Youll laugh and cry and wonder why, and in the end youll be looking for that camp meeting of your own. But be careful, you just might find it. |

But then Brianne, the oldest cousin, lands a seat at the adult table and leaves her cousins shocked and confused. What does it take to graduate from the kid table? Over the course of five family events, Ingrid chronicles the coming-of-age of her generation. Her cousins each grapple with growing pains, but it is Ingrid who truly struggles as she considers what it means to grow up. When first love comes in the form of first betrayal (he’s Brianne’s boyfriend), Ingrid is forced to question her own personality and how she fits into her family.

Keeper And Kid $6.19 " Keeper and Kid is a marvel. I dare you. Open this book and try to put it down." —Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Room Eight years ago, James Keeper fell in love with his upstairs neighbor in Boston, a sassy pastry chef with gray eyes and a fierce attitude. They got married, found a dog, and shopped for cilantro. But conflicting schedules and a real estate deal gone bad took its toll on the twenty-somethings in love. One divorce later, the hand-me-down chairs were separated, the potato masher custody settled, and Keeper moved to Providence to work with his best friend selling antiques at a quirky shop called Love and Death. A new job, a new love, and a new life now in place, Keeper is in a comfortable situation. Business is steady, Leah (the new love) is intriguing and passionate, and Keeper’s friends always turn up for Sunday evening Card Night. But one phone call from his former mother-in-law changes everything. And so days later, Keeper comes away with a son he never knew he had, and life all of a sudden takes on a new meaning. Leo, the precocious three-year-old who sports Keeper’s square chin, is more than a handful—he eats only round foods, refuses to bathe, thinks he’s a bear, and refers to Leah as "that man." For a guy who never thought he’d be a parent, Keeper is thrown headfirst into fatherhood—and has no idea what to do. As Keeper and Leo adjust to the shock of each other and their suddenly very different lives, Keeper begins to let the people in his life in, in turns strange and heartwarming, funny and painful. But some, like Leah, aren’t so eager for change. In this humorous and poignant novel, Edward Hardy explores the depths of modern love, parenthood, and compromise. Keeper and Kid is the story of how a normal guy receives an unexpected gift and in turn must learn to ask more of others and himself. A coming-of-age story for the guy who thought he had already grown up, Keeper and Kid is a sharp and witty account of what we do for love. Advance Praise for Keeper and Kid "A fine, fetching novel with a good heart. Keeper is nimble and affecting, a tribute to the author’s endless comic inventiveness."—Stewart O’Nan, author of The Good Wife "At once immensely engaging and about the things that matter most: how we love, how we move on, how the past moves with us. Lovely, wise, and surprising."—Elizabeth Graver, author of The Honey Thief "Ed Hardy’s voice in Keeper and Kid grabs you and won’t let you go until the very last page. Full of local color, bittersweet characters, and a story we can all relate to—the day your past arrives on the doorstep of your present life."—Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Room |

A Jew Grows in Brooklyn: The Curious Reflections of a First-Generation American $14.95 The Arguably Dysfunctional Insights of a ‘Kid’ from BrooklynAs a boy, Jake Ehrenreich wanted nothing more than to fit in. The reality of being the first American-born child of Holocaust survivors with thick European accents made him cringe, and he did everything he could to fit his vision of what it meant to be a ‘real’ American. His expertise on the ball field, good looks, and extraordinary musical talent gained him popularity, but deep inside, he was uncomfortable with his identity and his family’s haunting past.Only through his life-changing experiences—living a perilous rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, battling drug abuse, womanizing, coping with his mother and two sisters’ early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, finding love, fathering the only child who will carry on his family name, and then dealing with his beloved dad’s courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease—did Jake Ehrenreich begin to appreciate and honor his family’s heritage as well as himself.Based on his hit show ‘A Jew Grows in Brooklyn’—which ran in the heart of Broadway and continues to entertain audiences nationwide and which the New York Times described as ‘beautiful . . . touching . . . funny’—these stories mine the same life-affirming voyage of self-discovery, while delving deeper into Ehrenreich’s rich experiences. |

They remember how it was growing up, and all of the players in this book would like to give you the gift of their knowledge. Some of the stories are funny, some are inspiring and some are somber, but each story is important. These are the stories in their own words, of how these professional and elite soccer players followed their dreams.This book has the stories of eleven players, just like there are eleven players on the field. Each player has a key characteristic that describes him or her, that helped each become all he or she could be. Each player s characteristic can be summed up in a word, and that word is the name of the player s chapter.Because soccer has many words that are not common in everyday English, there is a glossary in the back that explains terms that might not be familiar to you. At the end of the book there is a fun quiz to see how much you have learned about each player. Throughout the book there are random facts about soccer, because random is fun!There are players in this book who are superstars on the field. There are players who are the supporting cast and there are players who you might not know, but who are well known in other countries. That is the beauty of soccer. it is a game played all over the world, from professional stadiums to a kid s backyard. It s a game of teamwork and every person on the team is integral to the team s success. So whether you are a superstar or a supporting member of the team, always remember that you are important. Without you, |

Chama Stories $9.99 Mario Santos is a brown-faced Huck Finn on the banks of his Mississippi, the Chama River. He is Holden Caulfield out of the “gray” city and atop the beautiful mountains of Northern New Mexico, under the influence of a Pentecostal camp meeting; MacCauley Caulkin “Home Alone” and ankle deep in Tabernacle sawdust. Our ten-year old hero asks the hard spiritual questions of existence through a courageous and reckless abandon of convention, and an ADHD passion for adventure. He obliterates religious pomposity and sanctimonious boundaries with his natural discernment of Christian character and religious characters and cuts to the guts of hypocrisy like he’s cleaning a freshly caught ‘German Brown’ trout. Mario Santos innocently introduces us to a God who might not be recognizable to those convinced of a sterile, stained-glass, Sundays-only deity of cushioned pews and hushed vaunted ceilings.Rolando Benavidez writes as colorful an auto biography as you will ever read, matching the wild wardrobe of a certain angel that keeps plucking Mario out of harm’s way as only a supernatural Big Indian can. You’ll wonder how the story can be true unless you’ve also experienced heroic, larger-than-life parents and a hilariously personal God. You don’t have to be in the patched-up shoes of a Spanish-speaking, brown-skinned Pentecostal preacher’s kid to enjoy Chama Stories, Mario Santos has got that covered and good, as he invites us to hang on for an adventure we won’t soon forget.Chama Stories is a page turning, laugh-out-loud finger-tip trip down the author’s memory lane; a dusty lane, set in New Mexico’s beautiful Chama Valley, rife with dirt and bumps and outhouses and overzealous deacons andwitches and outrageous names and characters too many and funny to list. You’ll laugh and cry and wonder why, and in the end you’ll be looking for that camp meeting of your own. But be careful, you just might find it. |

Chewing Gum in Church $24.88 Cruel was never so cute, or so funny, in this all-ages gem. Chewing Gum In Church is the new Yikes book by Steven Weissman, starring Sweet Chubby Cheeks, Kid Medusa, the Pullapart Boy, Elzie Crisler, Dead Boy, X-Ray Spence and, of course, Li’l Bloody. This cast, having survived enough adventures to fill three mass-market paperbacks (see below), now settles into a daily routine of cruelty, failure, jealousy, bitterness, gluttony, sloth, violence, arrogance, and stupidity. But especially stupidity. Having written short stories ( Don’t Call Me Stupid ), long stories ( Champs ) and every kind of story in between ( White Flower Day ) for his famous Yikes characters, Weissman has recently stripped his creation down to a classic, four-panel strip structure. This is Weissman’s first full-color book, which is hard to imagine for an artist so renowned for his color sense. His artwork has never been more beautiful and assured, and his writing has never been as sharp or funny. Chewing Gum In Church, the fourth book in the Yikes series, is simultaneously more dense and accessible than any previous volume. First time Yikes readers will be delighted by Weissman’s cuter than cute drawings–drawings that treat each other so terribly. Longtime fans, on the other hand, will certainly find this book to be tremendous addition to their library of Li’l Bloody and the Pullapart Boy’s adventures. |

Daddy Needs a Drink: An Irreverent Look at Parenting from a Dad Who Truly Loves His Kids – Even When They’re Driving Him Nuts $14 A Santa Fe dad shares heartwarming, comic, often ludicrous tales of raising a family in this laugh-out-loud book perfect for anyone who enjoys the edgy humor of David Sedaris or the whimsical commentary of Dave Barry. Waxing both profound and profane on issues close to a father’s heart—from exploding diapers to toddler tantrums, from the horrors of dressing up as Frosty the Snowman to the moments that make a father proud—Robert Wilder brilliantly captures the joys and absurdities of being a parent today.With an artist wife and two kids—a daughter, Poppy, and a son, London—Robert Wilder considers himself as open-minded as the next man. Yet even he finds himself parentally challenged when his toddler son, London, careens around the house in the buff or asks the kind of outrageous, embarrassing questions only a kid can ask. A high school teacher who sometimes refers to himself jokingly as Mister Mom (when his wife, Lala, is busy in her studio), Wilder shares warmly funny stories on everything from sleep deprivation to why school-sponsored charities can turn otherwise sane adults into blithering and begging idiots.Whether trying to conjure up the perfect baby name (“Poppy” came to his wife’s mother in a dream) or hiring a Baby Whisperer to get some much-needed sleep, Wilder offers priceless life lessons on discipline, potty training, even phallic fiddling (courtesy of young London). He describes the perils of learning to live monodextrously (doing everything with one hand while carrying your child around with the other) and the joys of watching his daughter morph into a graceful, wise, unique little person right before his eyes.By turns tender, irreverent, and hysterically funny, Daddy Needs a Drink is a hilarious and poignant tribute to his family by a man who truly loves being a father. |

Emergency Toilet Paper: An Outdoorsman’s Bathroom Guide $12.78 The hunting, fishing, growing-up stories in Emergency Toilet Paper will make you say, “Hey! I did that when I was a kid and I knew it was funny… Just knew it! So why the hell did I get grounded?! Emergency Toilet Paper digs into the mind of the sportsman and pulls out all the makes them, umm, “special”. It also helps to prove long-debated theories of the outdoor world; such as bears on the high plains, aliens just waiting to abduct anyone with a six pack and a mind for a fishing trip, and the actual existence of a caring spouse married to an outdoorsman… OK, OK. That last one may have been a little far-fetched, but if there are any spouses out there that want to at least appear as though they care; try picking up some Emergency Toilet Paper for your beloved outdoorsman. However, be careful, you might want to suggest they read it first. |

Fat Girls and Lawn Chairs $107.97 In the tradition of heartwarming, funny memoirs by authors like Garrison Keillor comes this book about the misadventures of a woman of size. Cheryl Peck has stories to tell–about her cats, about her family, and about what it’s like to be a gay woman of size living in the heartland. There’s the story of the time she hit her kid sister in the head with a rock. Then there’s the time her father taught her how to swim–by throwing her into the water. When she came shrieking and spluttering to the surface, he said, Good–she can swim. And then there are tales about her size–sometimes triumphant–like how 300 pound Cheryl has become an inspirational goddess in her gym. And of course, there are those universal stories about a daughter’s love for her mother and father. Cheryl Peck unfolds all these stories with a healthy sense of humor and intelligent wit in this book that reads like fiction and explores the themes of family, growing up, love, and loss. |

Funny Business: Moguls, Mobsters, Megastars, and the Mad, Mad World of the Ad Game $0.25 A famous ad for Levy’s Jewish Rye Bread showed an African-American kid, smiling after biting a deli sandwich obviously made with their product. The headline read: “You don’t have to be Jewish to love Levy’s.” And you don’t have to be in advertising (or even in business) to love these laugh-out-loud stories, a result of Allen Rosenshine’s nearly 45 years in advertising.The moguls he’s known — many of America’s most recognizable captains of industry — appear in scenes uncustomary to any corporate boardroom. The mobsters he’s dealt with come off as characters far more comic than threatening. The megastars he’s met, from presidents to pop artists to pro athletes, are captured here as no camera has ever seen them. When these crowds mixed with the madcap world of Madison Avenue, it was never business “as usual.”Funny Business is funny, it’s about business, but more than that, it’s about being human. It’s about all of us— the only creatures on earth that can really laugh, most meaningfully at ourselves. |

The sadistic killer with the flame-charred face. The knife-blade claws. The razor-sharp wit. Freddy…But you’ve never seen him like this. Unflinching. Uncensored. Unmasked. Meet Robert Englund, the award-winning actor best known for his role as Freddy Krueger — the legendary horror icon featured on the American Film Institute’s “100 Greatest Heroes and Villains” roster — a character as unforgettable and enduring as Bela Lugosi’s Dracula and Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein. Now, for the first time, the man behind the latex mask tells his story in this captivating new memoir, published to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the first A Nightmare on Elm Street film.

Human War, The $15.99 Heralding the arrival of a major new talent, Noah Cicero’s first European publication includes two short stories and a novella, The Human War, about the first hours of the 2003 war in Iraq as experienced by a screwed-up kid in Ohio who feels the world is spinning out of his control. His reaction to the coming war? He drinks, has sex, goes to a strip club, he does anything that Youngstown, Ohio offers as human distraction – but this only makes the horror deepen. Noah Cicero’s deadpan humour is reminiscent of Sartre and Beckett, and The Human War is a blackly funny and deeply cruel look at the cold heart of the world. |

It’s Not Easy Bein’ Me: A Lifetime of No Respect but Plenty of Sex and Drugs $9.99 An American comic icon tells the story of his second–act rise from obscurity to multimedia stardom.”When I was a kid,” writes Rodney Dangerfield, “I worked tough places in show business––places like Fonzo’s Knuckle Room. Or Aldo’s, formerly Vito’s, formerly Nunzio’s. That was a tough joint. I looked at the menu. They had broken leg of lamb.” For once, one of America’s most beloved comic icons isn’t kidding. Dangerfield has seen every aspect of the entertainment industry: the rough–and–tumble nightclubs, the backstage gag–writing sessions, the drugs, the hookers, the lousy day jobs – and the red–carpet star treatment. As he traces his route from a poor childhood on Long Island to his enshrinement as a comedy legend, he takes readers on a roller–coaster ride through a life that has been alternately touching, sordid, funny, raunchy, and uplifting – equal parts “Little Orphan Annie” and “Caligula.” And unlike most celebrity autobiographers, he seems to have no qualms about delivering the unfiltered whole story, warts and all. Dangerfield’s personal story is also a rollicking show business tale, full of marquee name–droppings (Adam Sandler, Sam Kinison, Jim Carrey, Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld) and good stories about same. Defying the old saws about the fleeting nature of fame and the dearth of second acts in American life, Dangerfield transformed himself from a debt–ridden aluminium–siding salesman named Jack Roy to a multimedia superstar – and stayed an icon for decades. His catchphrase – “I get no respect” – has entered the lexicon, and he remains a visible cultural presence and perennial talk–show guest. Dangerfield’s hilarious and inspiring musings should thrill comedy fans and pop–culture watchers, and his second–act comeback will strike a chord with readers of all stripes. Maybe he’ll even get some respect. |

Jake and the Kid $18.99 When Ma, the Kid, her twelve year old son, and Jake, the hired man, first appeared on the pages of Maclean’s and shortly after on CBC Radio, the lively boy and his cranky hero found their way into the hearts of thousands of readers. Now, in this new edition of Jake and the Kid, Crocus, a prairie town in the forties and fifties, comes alive once again. In these lovingly rendered stories, we encounter the glorious minutia of small town life on the Canadian prairie. Jake and the Kid are surrounded by an entire community of richly eccentric characters: old Sam Gatenby, a rival to Jake and just as cantankerous; Miss Henchbaw, the stern and proper Rabbit Hill schoolteacher; and Mayor MacTaggart, the owner of the town’s General Store. In all, W. O. Mitchell created about eighty characters to populate the town, including Daddy Johnson, the oldest man in Canada; Repeat Golightly, the philosophizing barber; and Professor Noble Winesinger, a conman with a heart. Touching and laugh-out-loud funny in equal measure, this classic Canadian story collection epitomizes the magic of W.O. Mitchell’s storytelling. Pitting tall tale against reality, Mitchell delivers a realm resplendent with a vibrant setting, a compelling cast of characters, and everyday events that speak directly to what it means to be human. |

Life, Funny Side Up: Finding the Humor in Everyday Life $13.95 My name is Tim Clark, and I’m 46 years old. By today’s standard, middle aged I suppose, and being in the middle is something I’ve grown very used to over all of my years. I was the middle kid in my family, medium-sized, and of average intelligence. By all accounts, by any standard one could measure by, I’m the personification of the “average Joe.” I’m an off-the-shelf 40 regular, not bad looking but nothing to write home about, for sure. I can run faster than about half the guys I know and made it through college, as you might guess, somewhere towards the middle of my class. With my mediocrity clearly established, I’ll explain to you a little bit about this book. I started out simply by writing my own memoirs just for the fun of it in hopes that my kids may one day enjoy reading them. However, gradually it began to occur to me, that this ordinary average life of mine has been quite extraordinary indeed and rather hilarious at times. Further, that if a guy like me (“the average Joe”) has been blessed with such an abundant life, the chances are good that you have too.It bothers me when national and local news lead stories are about how Britney Spears has shaved her head and got a tattoo, or how Jesse James needs a divorce, and it strikes me as rather sad that we aspire to follow this thing we call celebrity with such great effort rather than to simply recognize the many blessings all around us and be not just thankful but overjoyed that our ordinary lives are truly extraordinary and totally worthy of celebration. Remember always that art imitates life, and it was never meant to be the other way around. However today, I fear that it is the other way around, or close to it anyway, and that’s a sad fact. Glossy magazines define how we should look and smell, and it’s easy to convince yourself that you don’t quite measure up to that standard. Every TV network spoon feeds the nightly dribble in stunning high definition to anesthetize your mind and accept whatever it |

No Wonder My Parents Drank: Tales from a Stand-Up Dad $25 YOU LL NEVER SLEEP IN THIS TOWN AGAIN From Saturday Night Live to stand-up, from a blockbuster film career to the star of CBS s hit television show Gary Unmarried, Jay Mohr is one of the funniest people in comedy today. Now, in this down and dirty tale of modern fatherhood, Mohr shares his stories as a first-time parent. No Wonder My Parents Drank reveals the details behind Mohr s humiliating test-tube conception attempts and then recounts the trauma of not only having to keep this child alive, but having to spend time alone with him! He waxes poetic about dirty diapers; spins theories on spanking; and mulls over the more hidden advantages of parenthood, like carpool lane access, carte blanche to use the ladies restroom, and an alibi for missing family dinners. Mohr describes, in painfully funny detail, the bizarre situations that all parents inevitably face but can never prepare for (such as when his kid discovered his dog s rear end) as well as moments of pure joy like taking his son to his first baseball game. Mohr reports on the hilarious wisdom that his son, Jackson, has taught him like why it s fun to play Kissy Boy with the other boys at recess, how important sunscreen is for avoiding a sunborn, and how awesome it is to get a rainbow belt in karate. Riotously acerbic and refreshingly honest, No Wonder My Parents Drank casts the very funny Jay Mohr with an even funnier mini-me sidekick as a supporting character in a little comedic love story that every person who either is a parent or has a parent will find delightful. |

The Holocaust Kid: Stories $0.01 Wearing a tight black skirt, roach- killer boots, and teased hair, Zosha runs with her junior high school’s fast crowd, circa 1960. For Zosha, life is about fitting in, stepping out, making it with the handsome Puerto Rican boy in the local movie theater. But for Zosha’s parents, life is about how they survived when everyone around them died during the Holocaust. Now their daughter–born in a German DP camp and raised in New York City–must find her own way to survive.With unique emotional honesty, Sonia Pilcer illuminates Zosha’s journey through the terra incognita of life as a “2G”– a Second Generation Holocaust survivor. Compelled to deal with her family’s past while grappling with the way forward, Zosha finds herself writing poetry about the Holocaust, falling in love with a former neo-Nazi, dreaming of Auschwitz, and being seduced by a kinky Holocaust scholar. Fiercely moving and somehow funny too, The Holocaust Kid captures what it means to be born in the shadows of death, and to live and love without forgetting. |

The Last Voyage Of The Dan-D $6.99 “This story has a nice voice and a simple, kid-friendly tone. It is also a very funny story, with a wickedly wacky, but oddly logical humor. Captain Dan’s stories, his many names, and Alex’s reactions to it all are hilarious; Alex and Captain Dan are distinctive, highly original characters who should enthrall kid readers. The silliness should enthrall kids. The mysterious ending is a neat twist. The humor makes this story especially nice for being read aloud.” The Writer’s Digest, April 5, 2005 |
