Historia
These 14 stories, which have appeared in The New Yorker, GQ, Harper's, McSweeney's, and Playboy, display Boyle's imaginative muscle, emotional sensitivity, and astonishing range. Here you will find the whimsical tales for which Boyle is famous, including "The Kind Assassin", about a radio shock jock who sets the world record for most continuous hours without sleep.

Historia
The First Black Archaeologist reveals the untold story of a pioneering African American classical scholar, teacher, community leader, and missionary. Born into slavery in rural Georgia, John Wesley Gilbert (1863-1923) gained national prominence in the early 1900s, but his accomplishments are little known today. Using evidence from archives across the US and Europe, from contemporary publications, and from newly discovered documents, this book chronicles Gilbert's remarkable journey.

So interesting to peer back a few hundred years and get a glimpse of the personal transformation of an individual from an owned slave to a scholar. Always seeking to continue intellectual and spiritual growth, John Wesley Gilbert taught others how the foundations of learning could neutralize racism from inside the deep south more than a half century before the Civil rights movement. The author John Lee has a keen sense of how to weave a cohesive narrative from diverse, sparse, and scattered sources to inspire the reader to become a better teacher, parent, listener, linguist, adult learner, archeologist, parishioner, volunteer, fundraiser, . . but midst of all a better American through this deep history of this singular character. Kudos.

Historia
In I’m Your Emotional Support Animal, Adam Carolla examines how our culture went careening off a cliff. We used to have one that created real warriors who fought world wars. Now it spawns social justice warriors who fight Twitter wars. He takes on those who are traumatized by Trump and “emotional support animal” owners who proclaim their victimhood at every airport. He stands up for the collateral damage of the #MeToo movement and for freedom of speech on “safe space” filled college campuses.
