Still a Nice Guy by Phil Torcivia (35 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Dating is a humorous struggle for a recently divorced man who has no clue what women want. Excerpt from Still a Nice Guy - What's Your Sign? Astrology is bullshit. That doesn't keep people--including First Ladies--from making decisions based on their horoscopes. Some women decide if they are compatible with a man based on his sign. "Oh, you're a Virgo? Well, then this will never work." She's right; it won't, because I don't want to waste time with a deluded person. It's time we come up with a new set of signs, and I'm just the man to do it. • Hairies. Featuring Greeks and Italians, this group includes people with constant shower drain clogs and an arsenal of clippers and razors. • Saggyderryarius. Old folks with droopy butts. • Whorpio. Also known as "sex junkie," obsessed with enjoying the finer things in life in exchange for putting out. • Borus. This includes people who dominate every group event and keep us all on the edge of our seats with their Facebook updates, or so they think. • Gleeyo. One with obnoxious laughter hiding a deep depression. • Hebra. Man with boobs. • Ginani. Martini addicts. People who drink from triangular glasses and act catty. • Furgo. Women with hairless privates that make it easy for men to find glory while fantasizing about their high school sweethearts. • Glancer. Voyeurs who can't talk to women without staring down the cleavage. For you blue-collar types: • Construction Zone. Visit Del Mar, La Jolla, or Scottsdale to discover wild packs of these Botox-laden beasts. • School Zone. Cougars out to teach youngsters how to make a Cosmopolitan and find the G-spot. • Yield. A sign of indifference. I use this one often. It represents someone who would rather receive directions than guess what you want. It also means that I don't care what your sign is.

A definitive biography of Bonaparte from his birth in Corsica to his death in exile on St Helena, this book details all aspects of Bonaparte?s spectacular rise to power and his dizzying fall. It offers close examination of battlefield victories, personal torments, military genius, Bonaparte?s titanic ego and his relationships with the French government, Talleyrand, Wellington and Josephine. Based on more than 10 years of exhaustive research, Schom illuminates Napoleon's important economic and social reforms, his reorganization of the French government and his tempestuous personal life and its effect on his political decisions.

The Forever Pact (The Bachelors of Paradise Valley Book 1) by Jaimie Casey (486 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

What's that saying? What can go wrong will go wrong? I think that should be the saying for my life. I'm Pippa Chase. I was about to become Pippa Snothead, but then my fiancé cheated on me, and I called off the wedding... I'm heartbroken, but at least I avoided a horrible last name. And now, I'm on my way to Paradise Valley, Montana, to lick my wounds and figure out what's next in my life. I'm going to live with my childhood best friend, TJ Wyatt, on a ranch he bought. Ever since we were young, we had a pact that if one of us needed the other, we would be there for each other. Granted, TJ and I haven't seen each other since we were thirteen, and we stopped our barrage of letters and emails when we were eighteen. However, we still send Christmas cards yearly, and in one of them, he did say, "If you're ever in this part of the country, drop in." I don't think he meant it as literally as I took it. So, that's how I ended up living on a remote ranch, in a log cabin with a man who didn't seem quite as happy to see me as I thought he would be. But maybe it didn't help that I showed up in my wedding dress, and everyone in town thought I was his new bride. Oops! This may not have been my best decision, but I'm hoping that Paradise Valley can help to mend my broken heart.

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine (Landmark Video Games) by Bernard Perron (University of Michigan Press) (130 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Silent Hill: The Terror Engine, the second of the two inaugural studies in the Landmark Video Games series from series editors Mark J. P. Wolf and Bernard Perron, is both a close analysis of the first three Silent Hill games and a general look at the whole series. Silent Hill, with its first title released in 1999, is one of the most influential of the horror video game series. Perron situates the games within the survival horror genre, both by looking at the history of the genre and by comparing Silent Hill with such important forerunners as Alone in the Dark and Resident Evil. Taking a transmedia approach and underlining the designer's cinematic and literary influences, he uses the narrative structure; the techniques of imagery, sound, and music employed; the game mechanics; and the fiction, artifact, and gameplay emotions elicited by the games to explore the specific fears survival horror games are designed to provoke and how the experience as a whole has made the Silent Hill series one of the major landmarks of video game history.
