"Not only is 'Erewhon' an adventure story but also Butler's satirical inversion of English customs and philosophy in the 19th century. The explorer Higgs discovers a well organised and civilised country - apparently idyllic. However, the body politic has two ruling obsessions, disease is considered a crime and machinery is seen as a threat to the supremacy of man.In his story Butler identified certain social and industrial conditions which have since become large moral problems. Ever present poverty and encroaching technology ensure that these problems are likely to be with us for a long time. Fantasy 'Erewhon' may be, yet it still has a ring of truth and the power to disturb."
"Part candy porn, part candy polemic, part social history, part confession, Candyfreak explores the role candy plays in our lives as both source of pleasure and escape from pain."
"Wat willze machen. Das ist nicht nur ein typisch niederrheinischer Satz, sondern Lebensweisheit, auf den Punkt gebrachte Philosophie. Wenn zwei oder drei Niederrheiner freitags abends bei Hein Lindemann in der Kneipe an der Ecke an ihrem Stammtisch sitzen und sich stundenlang nicht bewegen, vor sich auf den Tisch starren und sich an ihrem Bier und Schnaps festhalten und nach drei Stunden absoluter Stille und Schweigen einer der drei einen kräftigen Schluck an seinem Bier tut, sich leicht am Hinterkopf kratzt und die Stille bricht, indem er sagt: 'Wat willze machen.', dann reicht das dem Niederrheiner vollkommen aus. Und jeder weiß auch, was damit gemeint ist. Vielleicht schiebt einer der drei noch ein 'Steckst nich drin',oder ein 'Immerhin' hinterher. Aber mehr kommt da nicht. Damit ist alles gesagt. Und da steckt auch alles drin. In diesem einen Satz. Die Politik, die Kultur, der Dorfklatsch, die Krankheit, das Leben schlechthin."
"A word or thirty from the sponsors of public radio’s enduring Saturday-evening staple, Commercial Radio features the best bits (and questionable marketing strategies) of many Lake Wobegon establishments. In addition to missives from longtime supporters such as the Catchup Advisory Board and the American Duct Tape Council, special messages from the Minnesota Diminishment Clinic, the Professional Association of English Majors, and many others peddle unique wares and unexpected services. Combining catchy slogans, memorable jingles, sometimes-seamless segues to product promotions, and the spirited aural antics of Tom Keith, this first-ever collection of sponsor ads is a true treat for aficionados of A Prairie Home Companion, which attracts more than three million listeners every week. All tracks are recorded from live broadcasts."
"Born Not to Run is a collection of car tunes as irreverent as they are melodic. With titles like, 'If She Wasn't On Blocks,' Who Taught These Idiots To Drive,' and 'Built to Crash,' we guarantee that you'll be simultaneously tapping your toes, laughing out loud and shaking your head. For these reasons, we ask that you not listen to Born Not to Run and drive at the same time. More fun from Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers."
"The Hatchback of Notre Dame includes many memorable Car Talk classics, including Morley Safer of CBS's Sixty Minutes, displaying a downright embarrassing obsession with his Peugeot, and space shuttle astronaut John Grunsfeld, who calls from Hawaii. (Well, 700 miles over Hawaii, actually). And, there's one of Click and Clack's all-time favorite callers, their pal Dave from Bemidji, sharing the sordid tale of his journey to Alaska."
"The definitive collection of thoughts, assaults, and hilarious observations from America’s premier business humorist and bestselling author of Throwing the Elephant and What Would Machiavelli Do?
The Big Bing will be a mandatory addition to the library of everyone who works for a living, or would like to. For nearly 20 years, Stanley Bing’s funny, wise, pleasantly mean-spirited, and at times even useful columns have delighted readers in the pages of Esquire, Fortune and a variety of other national publications.
Bing has lived the last two decades inside the belly of the corporate beast, clawing his way to the top of one of the great multinational companies in the cosmos. And he has seen it all: the high body count after many a gruesome deal, the machine that grinds up the bones of those who stood in its way, the birth and death of executive dinosaurs (and he’s had quite a few lunches with some of them, too). The result is storytelling at its best—sophisticated, amusing, and driven by the kind of insight that only a true insider can possess.
The Big Bing provides a mole’s-eye-view of the society in which we all live and work, creating one of the most entertaining, thought-provoking, and just plain funny bodies of work in contemporary letters."
"Wendy McCloud (Traci Elizabeth Lords) is ordered into Anger Management Therapy. But it's not much help when pirates murder her father, Planetary President of Chromius. Now that Anne Manx has left, Chromius still needs someone else just as smart, relentless, incorruptible...and sexy.
Telling Elaine (Brinke Stevens), Wendy abandons her career in the oldest profession for a new job: spy! Going underground as ""Red Cloud,"" she infiltrates the inner circle around vicious Jake Bloom (James Leary), the greediest outlaw in the sector. ""Red"" risks her life to avenge her father and end a reign of terror engulfing the whole quadrant.
Red blasts headlong into a tight orbit of action, caught in a terrifying nebula of deception, sex, robbery, extortion, torture, mass murder, and even (dare we say it?) insurance fraud.
Radio Rep Company's latest production pulls no punches. Taut writing with tongue in cheek, splendid performances and superb production, all wrapped up in a magnificent original score."
""High Moon," "Tell Them NAPA Sent You," and "Wizard Jack." Not your usual tales of wizards and magic. Think more of auto parts and the tango of time. Featuring David Ossman and Phil Proctor of the legendary Firesign Theatre, and multi-award-winning fantasy writer, Jane Yolen."
"The Ramon Raquello Orchestra was supposed to get their big break that night in 1938, on Orson Welles Mercury Theater show, but they kept getting cut off. We join them many years later, at a reunion of the band, and it seems that they can't seem to escape the influence of the Martians."
"This Comedy Central DVD features Mitch Hedberg, one of the smartest, strangest and most creative stand-upc omedians tody. This CD/DVD combination pack includes a full-length CD of Hedberg's newest observations, as well as a DVD of almost two hours of his"
