Gentlemen of the Road by Michael Chabon A Tale of Adventure Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, sprang from an early passion for the derring-do and larger-than-life heroes of classic comic books. Now, once more mining the rich past, Chabon summons the rollicking spirit of legendary adventures–from The Arabian Nights to Alexandre Dumas to Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories–in a wonderful new novel brimming with breathless action, raucous humor, cliff-hanging suspense, and a cast of colorful characters worthy of Scheherazade’s most tantalizing tales. Hardbound. HB P180. NEW, Very good condition. Note: All images are actual scans or photographs of items on hand.

Title: Name DroppingAuthor: Jane HellerFormat: Mass Market PaperbackCondition: Acceptable – with spine creases, dull edges, moderate tanning of pages and coverPrice: P80Synopsis: Pre-school teacher Nancy Stern is in a personal and professional rut. But what really puts a dent in her self-esteem is the realization that another woman named Nancy Stern has just moved into her building... a Nancy Stern who lives in the penthouse... A Nancy Stern who interviews celebrities for glossy magazines... a Nancy Stern who's chummy with Kevin Costner. Nancy's loss of her own specialness deepens as she keeps getting the other, more glamorous Nancy's mail, phone calls and party invitations by mistake. It's all too much to bear--until a man calls one night, intending to ask the other Nancy out on a blind date. What follows is a raucous and romantic involving mix-ups, mistaken identity, and murder ...

Movie synopsis In what may go down in history as the most irresponsible, outrageous footage ever to be released by a major Hollywood studio, Paramount Pictures presents JACKASS: THE MOVIE. Based on the MTV show of the same name, creators and coproducers Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze stretch their surprisingly successful concept into a feature-length film. Watch cast regulars Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Bam Margera, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGehey, and Brandon Dicamillo as they perform a series of ridiculously dangerous and dangerously stupid stunts. Entering a rental car in a crash-up derby, snorting wasabi, eating a urine-soaked snow-cone, self-inflicting paper cuts, and using a store's display toilet are just a few of the increasingly obscene antics that unfurl at a relentless pace. A large portion of the footage finds the pranksters in Japan, dressing up in outlandish outfits and wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting locals. Whether or not this is a hysterical romp or a waste of eighty minutes is for the viewer to decide, but the fact can't be argued, JACKASS: THE MOVIE is slapstick entertainment for the 21st century, incorporating the modern world's fascination with reality television and obsession with disaster into a raucous, electrifying spectacle VERY GOOD CONDITION

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands by Chelsea HandlerTRADE PAPERBACKIn this raucous collection of true-life stories, actress and comedian Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand.You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation. Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool.Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.

White Teeth A novel by Zadie SmithAwardsWhitbread PrizeOrange Prize for Fiction (nominee)James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction"Zadie Smith's fizzing first novel is about how we all got here - from the Caribbean, from the Indian sub-continent, from the thirteenth place in a long-ago Olympic bicycle race - and about what here turned out to be. It's an astonishingly assured debut, funny and serious, and the voice has real writerly idiosyncrasy. I was delighted by WHITE TEETH, and often impressed. It has ... bite."Salman Rushdie Zadie Smith's White Teeth is a delightfully cacophonous tale that spans 25 years of two families' assimilation in North London. The Joneses and the Iqbals are an unlikely a pairing of families, but their intertwined destinies distill the British Empire's history and hopes into a dazzling multiethnic melange that is a pure joy to read. Smith proves herself to be a master at drawing fully-realized, vibrant characters, and she demonstrates an extraordinary ear for dialogue. It is a novel full of humor and empathy that is as inspiring as it is enjoyable. White Teeth is ambitious in scope and artfully rendered with a confidence that is extremely rare in a writer so young. It boggles the mind that Zadie Smith is only 24 years old, and this novel is a clarion call announcing the arrival of a major new talent in contemporary fiction. It is a raucous yet poignant look at modern life in London and is clearly the book to read this summer.

Producers: Doug Grau (tracks 1-11); Scott Rouse (track 12). Engineers: Terry Bates, Ron Laury (tracks 1-11); Scott Rouse (track 12). Principally recorded live at Thalia Mara Hall, Jackson, Mississippi. All material on tracks 1-11 written by Jeff Foxworthy. "Party All Night" written by Scott Rouse. GAMES REDNECKS PLAY was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album. GAMES REDNECKS PLAY, Jeff Foxworthy's eagerly awaited follow-up to his multi-platinum sensation YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK, is a raucous collection of comedy based on blue collars and red necks. Amiable and downright funny, Foxworthy finds humor in almost everything: from Southern accents ("you don't want a brain surgeon to talk like [that]") and Victoria's Secret catalogues ("those things are so skimpy, Victoria doesn't have many secrets left"), to his family vacationing in Hawaii ("The Clampetts Go To Maui") and parenting in general ("I learned you can get three boxes of raisins into a cassette player."). There is also a bonus musical collaboration with Little Texas, entitled "Party All Night." A follow-up to 1994's "Redneck Stomp," the track combines Foxworthy's humorous routine on the dating life with Little Texas' catchy chorus harmonies. Recorded live before a very enthusiastic audience, Foxworthy keeps them slapping their knees and splitting their sides as they wait for the piece-de-resistance--his signature "You Might Be A Redneck If..." routine. Although his material deals with predominantly "down-home" topics, Foxworthy proves to be an enjoyable and talented comedian, who follows the old-school rules of standing up and telling universally funny jokes. Personnel: Eric Silver (fiddle). Audio Mixers: Ron Laury; Scott Rouse; Brendan Harkin. Recording information: Thalia Mara Hall, Jackson, MS. Photographer: Laura LiPuma. Unknown Contributor Roles: Hershel Shelton; Jeff Foxworthy; Little Texas. Arranger: Scott Rouse. Jeff Foxworthy has turned out to be a refreshing change from the standup comedy norm, keeping the four-letter words to a minimum and the comedy fairly gentle. This release, which coincided with the launch of The Jeff Foxworthy Show, is worth hearing just for Foxworthy's routine on the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, although there's a lot more besides, including a song in collaboration with Little Texas. ~ Steven McDonald Editorial reviews ...Behind Foxworthy's exasperated, 90-mile-an-hour drawl and sharp-as-fishhooks takes on life way below the Mason-Dixon line lies comedy the old-fashioned way: strings of one-liners on a connected theme... - Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly (07/28/1995) Excellent Condition

Recorded during a pair of sold-out shows at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre, these sets are dominated by Led Zeppelin tunes, along with a mix of classic blues nuggets and covers of Fleetwood Mac and Page's first group, The Yardbirds. (Due to contractual obligations, no Crowes songs are included here).Chris Robinson's soulful singing ably fills in for Robert Plant's caterwaul, particularly with the sinister "In My Time of Dying" and the bluesy drawl of Willie Dixon's "You Shook Me." Guitarists Rich Robinson and Audley Freed provide stellar sounding layers of depth behind Page's playing, whether on the chiming "Hey Hey What Can I Do," or the hard-hitting swagger of "Nobody's Fault But Mine." From the non-Zeppelin material, the Crowes and Page soar on covers of the B.B. King shuffle "Woke Up This Morning" and the Chicago blues stomp of Jimmy Rogers' "Sloppy Drunk." Editorial Reviews 7 out of 10 - ...A work of licksmanship....Guitar tech album of the year, and a whole lotta irony-trashing fun besides. NME ...The most conservative rock'n'roll record of the year...and probably also the most enjoyable... Mojo 4 stars out of 5 - ...A live double album's worth of Zep's greatest guttural roars and stormtrooping stanzas... Uncut (20001001) 3 stars out of 5 - ...The combination is a win-win....The stomping treatments of Zep's tortured blues [prod] Page into the kind of fury that used to be a nightly routine....simultaneously raucous and faithful...
