But the pocket-sized puppy she’s expecting turns out to be a quirky hundred- pound beast. Van is at the end of her rope—until she realizes that this slobbering giant will always be loyal to her. She affectionately names the dog Joe, and together they learn that sometimes life needs to get more complicated before it gets better.

I clicked from one site to another and then, I saw him. He was a shaggy ball of fur. Jet black, except for a small pink tongue hanging out of his mouth. His head was tipped to one side like he was listening to something intently. I took another long slurp of my Kool-Aid and vodka. I couldn’t just decide I wanted a dog and order one off the Internet. It was crazy. Crazy! But I couldn’t stop staring at the puppy. It was like one of those paintings where the eyes follow you everywhere. From every angle, I felt like that dog was looking at me.

Browning’s witty and thoughtful memoir has already touched a chord with reviewers and readers alike. While untold millions are feeling the stress of modern life, Slow Love eloquently reminds us to appreciate what we have—a timely message that we all need to hear.

I have always supported myself. Everything I own—my house, my piano, my kayak, my trees—I purchased with money that I earned. For the thirty years I’ve been an adult, I have had an office to go to and a time to show up there. I’ve always had a place to be, and you can read as much existential gravitas into that as you want; there’s plenty there. I had never even changed jobs without having another job lined up. It was probably compulsive not to spend a few days quietly thinking about what I would like to do, rather than just leaping into what others offered me next… It feels safer. Without work, who was I?

But as everyone knows, his decision themselves.” —The Daily Beast was a spectacular failure. Ratings plummeted, affiliates were enraged—and when Zucker tried to put everything back the way it was, that plan backfired as well.

In candid detail, Carter charts the vortex that sucked in—not just Leno and O’Brien—but also Letterman, Stewart, Fallon, Kimmel, and Ferguson as frantic agents and network executives tried to manage a tectonic shift in television’s most beloved institution.

“What does Jay have on you?” Conan asked, his voice still low, his tone still even. “What does this guy have on you people? What the hell is it about Jay?” Neither of the NBC executives had an answer. They cast their heads down. Conan thought they were working at looking sympathetic, following some lesson that had been taught at corporate school. After a pause, Gaspin suggested again that they take some time to figure out what they wanted to do. NBC would be patient. He repeated the network’s desire to keep Conan in the family. Conan listened for a bit, then stood up. Jeff Ross followed suit. They walked out. The meeting was over; it had lasted fifteen minutes.

Devra Davis Disconnect the truth about cell Phone Radiation, What the industry is Doing to hide it, and how to Protect your family

since the invention of radar, cell phone radiation was assumed to be harmless because it wasn’t like X-rays. but a sea change is now occurring in the way scientists think about it. the latest research ties this kind of radiation to lowered sperm counts, an increased risk of alzheimer’s, and even cancer. in Disconnect, national book award fi nalist Devra Davis tells the story of the dangers that the cell phone industry is knowingly exposing us—and our children—to in the pursuit of profi t. More than fi ve billion cell phones are currently in use, and that number increases every day. synthesizing the fi ndings and cautionary advice of leading experts in bioelectricalmagnetics and neuroscience, Davis explains simple safety measures that no one can afford to ignore.

All Megan Rix ever wanted was a baby. Yet, month after month, Megan’s dreams were dashed. Would her life ever feel complete?

Megan and her husband, Ian, found a surprising answer when they began training golden retriever pups to become Helper Dogs for people with disabilities. But opening their homes and hearts up to Emma, and then Freddy— only to have each move on after six months—eventually took its own toll. Megan and Ian didn’t know if they could continue. Then, one Christmas, little Traffy came along … and stayed. An instant U.K. bestseller, The Puppy That Came for Christmas is a heartwarming and inspirational story that will captivate dog lovers everywhere.

That evening, I looked at her playing on the floor, caught up in some of the tinsel that I, feeling especially festive this year, had strewn around the room. Ian had never liked Christmas, and until Emma came along, he’d spent it out of the country, skiing or by the pool—as far away as he could afford to go. “Finally, we’ve got something really worth staying at home for,” he said. I looked at the tree, the decorations, at Ian watching Christmas television with Traffy, and thought there was nothing else I could want in the world.

Twenty years ago, John Costello’s life as he knew it ended. “R.J.

He withdrew from society, hid in his apartment, and now only emerges to work as a crime researcher for a major newspaper.

Damaged as he may be, no one in New Jersey knows more about serial killers than John Costello. So, when a new spate of murders starts—all seemingly random and unrelated—John is the only one who can discern the complex pattern that lies behind them. But could this dark knowledge threaten his own life?

And sometimes, when New York was bleeding the heat of its summer from every brick and every stone, when the heat of a thousand earlier summers seemed collected in everything he touched, he had been known to buy bottled root beer from the chilled counter, and press the bottle against his face, even touch it to his lips, with no fear of what fatal disease or virulent germ might be there upon the glass. See him in the street and he would look like a million others. Talk to him and he would appear to be just like you. But he was not. And never would be. Because he saw the Devil in the winter of ’84, and once you see the Devil you don’t forget his face.

shmuley boteach a Modern Guide to Judaism

What does it mean that we are spiritual beings? can humans bring harmony to their dual spiritual and material nature and achieve success? shmuley boteach tackles this important issue, arguing that Judaism possesses a core of wisdom that appeals to Jews and non-Jews alike. shmuley boteach rejects Judaism seeking piety in abstractions, or rationalizing injustice and suffering, and says that it is primarily about seeking optimism and spirituality. comparing Judaism with other faith traditions, he also contends that Judaism is a religion with a profound earthward orientation and is uniquely suited to modern-day men and women who desire professional success without starving their souls.
