Relationships - Who needs them? Relationships have become more exhausting than exhilarating. Is it just me? When I'm single, I'm prowling for my love. It's costly to my sanity and to my wallet, trying to determine if she likes me -- then doing things to make her like me more (and get naked). When I'm in a relationship, I'm juggling texts, dates, her family gatherings, and baseball, doing my best to avoid disappointing my lover. Is it better to be married or single? Do you wonder what life would be like on the other side? When married, how peaceful single life could be. When single, how marriage might cure loneliness. Having been on both sides, I'm unsure which is better. There are great parts of both. Either way, you'll relate to these essays. Whether you're male, female, or something in between; whether you're eighteen or eighty or something in between -- you're going to relate to the following pages in some way. I guarantee it. I also guarantee I will push your buttons. I'll make you giggle and piss you off. That's intentional. I just hope you're entertained by my relationship disasters. Heck, maybe my mistakes will save you from a similar fate (another pet). Let's drink, drink, and be single. Enjoy the ride, my friends. If you ever see me at my office (a bar), put a hand on my shoulder, share a frosty beverage, and let's steer each other away from the dangerous cliffs of love.

An excerpt from Christmas at Atherton Ranch: The young Welshman narrowed his eyes. "You again." Edmund grinned sheepishly and shrugged. "It's inevitable. I live here." David strode up to him and poked him in the chest with his forefinger, speaking too quietly for anyone else to hear. "I've half a mind to bugger you tonight." "Oh, yes?" Edmund raised his eyebrows as he took off his coat. "And what would it take to bring the other half along?" "Not much, actually. Got to get you back for that sneak attack earlier." "What? By killing me with kindness?" Edmund blushed. "I'll hold you to that, you know." Edmund had been slower to appreciate the joy of being mounted by his lover. But David could do anything he wanted to his body, as far as the young Canadian was concerned. "I'll have you begging for mercy," David assured him, smiling broadly. "I certainly hope so. The tree is beautiful. Did you do that yourself?"

Bluestocking Feminism and British-German Cultural Transfer, 1750-1837 by Alessa Johns (1 Review)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Bluestocking Feminism and British-German Cultural Transfer, 1750-1837 examines the processes of cultural transfer between Britain and Germany during the Personal Union, the period from 1714 to 1837 when the kings of England were simultaneously Electors of Hanover. While scholars have generally focused on the political and diplomatic implications of the Personal Union, Alessa Johns offers a new perspective by tracing sociocultural repercussions and investigating how, in the period of the American and French Revolutions, Britain and Germany generated distinct discourses of liberty even though they were nonrevolutionary countries. British and German reformists -- feminists in particular -- used the period's expanded pathways of cultural transfer to generate new discourses as well as to articulate new views of what personal freedom, national character, and international interaction might be. Johns traces four pivotal moments of cultural exchange: the expansion of the book trade, the rage for translation, the effect of revolution on intra-European travel and travel writing, and the impact of transatlantic journeys on visions of reform. Johns reveals the way in which what she terms "bluestocking transnationalism" spawned discourses of liberty and attempts at sociocultural reform during this period of enormous economic development, revolution, and war.
