And I'll do anything to keep it that wayI used to clean other people's housesnow, I can't believe this home is actually mine.

A romantic comedy about two best friends who take annual vacations together and must confront their feelings on one final trip.

Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher.Mr Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesnt know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films that she doesnt? Or are they actually kindred spirits, sharing the same filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, its just enough that he sees her when no one else does.Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is an incisive study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, to be desired and to be loved.

Unha muller leva once anos agardando polo retorno do seu home. Cando comeza a temer a probable morte do marido, recibe a carta dunha estraña, unha muller misteriosa que a informa de que o seu home non esta morto, senon que vive con ela un romance apaixonado. A partir de ai vaise tecendo unha relacion epistolar entre as duas; o home dunha e amante doutra acabase convertendo so no pretexto que vai unir para sempre o destino das duas mulleres.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherines father. After Mr Earnshaws death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherines brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

Departure(s) is a work of fiction but that doesnt mean its not true.It is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?It begins at the end of life but it doesnt end there. Ultimately, its about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.
