Book Description
Combining southern warmth with unabashed emotion and side-splitting hilarity, Fannie Flagg takes readers back to Elmwood Springs, Missouri, where the most unlikely and surprising experiences of a high-spirited octogenarian inspire a town to ponder the age-old question: Why are we here?
Life is the strangest thing. One minute, Mrs. Elner Shimfissle is up in her tree, picking figs, and the next thing she knows, she is off on an adventure she never dreamed of, running into people she never in a million years expected to meet. Meanwhile, back home, Elner’s nervous, high-strung niece Norma faints and winds up in bed with a cold rag on her head; Elner’s neighbor Verbena rushes immediately to the Bible; her truck driver friend, Luther Griggs, runs his eighteen-wheeler into a ditch–and the entire town is thrown for a loop and left wondering, “What is life all about, anyway?” Except for Tot Whooten, who owns Tot’s Tell It Like It Is Beauty Shop. Her main concern is that the end of the world might come before she can collect her social security.
In this comedy-mystery, those near and dear to Elner discover something wonderful: Heaven is actually right here, right now, with people you love, neighbors you help, friendships you keep. Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven is proof once more that Fannie Flagg “was put on this earth to write” (Southern Living), spinning tales as sweet and refreshing as iced tea on a summer day, with a little extra kick thrown in.
From the Hardcover edition.

A Truly Enjoyable Story.......2007-10-08
I read this book in a day and a half. Fannie Flagg is an excellent author who has the reader smiling from beginning to end. I was sorry when the book ended as I wanted to keep on reading! The characters and their quirks are delightful. I would highly recommend this book. It was my book club selection.
The Gift of Laughter.......2007-09-16
What a great read! Fannie Flagg understands people. Better yet, she loves people, and she gets them exactly right.
One of the things she understands is that people are often unintentionally funny. "Heaven" has a generous helping of laugh-out-loud moments, lots of chuckles and an overall feeling of goodwill. All without being syrupy.
Now, truth to tell, this is an over-the-top story. The characters are larger--and sometimes stranger--than life, but you'll recognize people you know. The events are not your everyday stuff, either, but you happily go along because the people are so true to the situations.
People talk about Fannie Flagg being a southern writer, and you get the idea us Yankees won't get it. Well, I've never lived in the South, but it felt like home to me.
The gift of laughter is a great gift, and my thanks go to Ms. Flagg for presenting me with so much of it.

This is a great book. It is very funny, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Book Description
A celebration of the sophistication, wit and charm found only in the singular collaboration of French cartooning team
For twenty years, French cartoonists Philippe Dupuy and Charles Berberian have collaborated on every aspect—sharing both the writing and drawing—of their highly acclaimed Mr. Jean short stories, creating one of the most endearing, clever, and readable series in contemporary French comics. Their award-winning, critically acclaimed series has sold more than 120,000 copies in France and has won one of comics’ most coveted awards, the prestigious Angoulême Alph-Art
Award for the Best Book of the Year.
Get a Life is a collection of the early Mr. Jean stories where the reader is introduced to the life of the titular character, a laconic, single Parisian male struggling through the usual calamities of life: bachelorhood in his twenties and early thirties and the impending responsibilities of marriage, kids, and deadlines for his publisher. Mr. Jean is a typical everyman—a scholar who fancies himself a man of letters, a nostalgist whose memories carry a weight few can understand, a lover whose heart knows the greatest of burdens. Melancholic yet joyful reflections on past loves, favorite authors, marriage, and fatherhood are laid out in a breezy, comic style.
Customer Reviews:
Making the Mundane Meaningful.......2006-12-06
An engaging and bittersweet set of comics detailing the rather ordinary life of Monsieur Jean, a kind of late-twentysomething Everyman. Dupuy and Berberian, who collaborated on all aspects of this comics' writing and illustration, create a meaningful storyline for Jean without sacrificing humor or imagination. Jean's misadventures in love are nicely tempered by more lighthearted scenes, including Jean's endless standoff with the apartment building's concierge as well as the running gag of the telephone ringing every time Jean settles into a warm bath.
Dupuy and Berberian's strength resides in their mastery of quotidian observation. This extends not only to their writing but also to their illustrations, which reflect a fine sense of detail for apartment clutter, youth culture, and the vagaries of life in the city, among other things. Their lines and coloring are pleasant to the eye, and the artistry of Jean's dream sequences is especially notable.
Credit to the Montreal-based publishing collective Drawn & Quarterly for bringing Dupuy and Berberian across the Atlantic in a superb English translation. Some of the best graphic novels are being published by independent houses these days. Available in a lovely hardcover edition, this book deserves the highest praise for its literary, graphic, and book-design quality.
not quite what i expected.......2006-11-11
It is rare when I can find a bit of fiction depicting the bachelor's life without rubbing me the wrong way... however, this book wasn't that bad, even if it was written for bachelors. The morose, empty, mundane life of the main character was punctuated by comical fantasy and timely coincidences. He also retreated continuously to militant daydreams and fortress of his manhood. It's a fun read, rooted in self-absorbent things like dating, relationships, babies, cat-sitting, and the nostalgia that haunts a bachelor.

Book Description
Paul Bannerman, an ecologist in South Africa, believes he understands the trajectory of his life, with the usual markers of vocation and marriage. But when he's diagnosed with thyroid cancer and, after surgery, prescribed treatment that will leave him radioactive, for a period a danger to others, he begins to question, as Auden wrote, "what Authority gives / existence its surprise."
In the garden of his childhood home, where his businessman father, Adrian, and prominent civil rights lawyer mother, Lyndsay, take him in to protect his wife and child from radiation, he enters an unthinkable existence and another kind of illumination: the contradiction between the values of his work and those of his wife, Benni, an ad agency executive. His mother is transformed by the strange state of her son's existence to face her own past. Meanwhile, projects to build a nuclear reactor and drain vital wetlands preoccupy Paul as if he were at work. By the time he is cured, both families have been changed. On his return to his home and career, his parents go to Mexico to fulfill the archaeological vocation Adrian sacrificed to support his family. The consequence of this trip is the final surprise in this extraordinary exploration of passionate individual existences.
Customer Reviews:
Thought-provoking.......2006-08-15
Gordimer is a very demanding writer and this book is no exception.
It's almost like a film that has to be viewed twice in order to understand it more fully and to appreciate its nuances. This book is about important topics facing individuals living in contemporary South Africa - illness, fidelity, career choices, the family, the environment. Gordimer ties these together in her inimitable way - the reader must pay attention and let the prose and the images resonate. Gordimer is one of world's great writers and I always feel richer after reading one of her works.
Yes.......2006-03-17
If you like Gordimer - and I do - you will love this book. It is timely, broad, thoughtful, and it humanizes some of the most important global issues of our times.
As the world turns ..........2006-03-03
As the world turns, so does Nadine Gordimer. If she had written novels like this one throughout her career she would not have been awarded the Nobel Prize. There is an apartheid, and a post-apartheid Nadine Gordimer. The former was the combative writer who, with her brilliant prose, greatly contributed to showcasing the horror of life under the old regime; the latter is still up for definition. One thing is for sure: she ended her activism when her party took power. The old problems, compounded by the new -corruption on the rise, crime, the health crisis, and the government's indifference or unwillingness to face them- apparently do not merit scrutiny or criticism from Mrs. Gordimer. And ... has she forgotten how to write sentences? Her boring characters and their boring lives make for cumbersome reading.
I'm sure Nadine Gordimer set out to write a good novel, in her usual vein; what she has published is a mediocrity.
A challenging novel that explores themes of conservation and survival, death and compromise.......2006-01-25
Don't let the slangy title of this Nobel Prize winner's 14th novel mislead you --- light is one thing GET A LIFE is not. But like many challenging works of art, this one is worthwhile.
Nadine Gordimer tackles large-scale themes of conservation and survival, death and compromise, through the vehicle of a privileged, white South African family navigating several crises. The first is the necessity of Paul Bannerman, a thirty-something ecologist, to be physically isolated due to radiation treatments for an aggressive form of thyroid cancer. His parents, Lyndsay and Adrian, take him in for several weeks, while his wife Benni and their son Nickie must settle for distant waves from outside the garden fence. During this unnatural time, Paul drifts back out to the garden of his childhood, and contemplates the tension between his own career as a conservationist and his wife's executive position at an advertising agency for firms that would pollute and degrade the very environments he fights to protect. Small wonder that when he returns home, old patterns fray and everyone treads lightly.
Although they do not fight, Paul bluntly rejects Benni's suggestion that they try to conceive another child, and the reader wonders whether or not the marriage can survive. But part two of the novel switches focus to the relationship of Paul's parents. It begins with 59-year-old Lyndsay's reminiscences of the affair she had while in her 40s. The affair lasted for four years, at the end of which she informed her husband Adrian that it had been, and that it was, over. At first jarring, this revelation gives meaning to later developments as Paul's retired father Adrian pursues his avocation of archeology in Mexico.
As usual with Gordimer, her symbols sparkle, functioning on many levels. A trip to a wildlife preserve to view a breeding pair of Black Eagles becomes a meditation on both beauty and the cruel realities of survival. "The first egg laid hatches and is followed about a week later by a second. The two chicks, known as Cain and Abel. The first-born, Cain has already grown when Abel comes out of his shell. Cain and Abel fight and generally Abel is killed by Cain and thrown from the nest." Later Paul thinks of this in relation to the dams he opposes, recognizing that the dams could end poverty for thousands of people. "And if Abel has to be thrown from the nest by Cain; isn't that for a greater survival. The eagle allows this to happen, its all-powerful wings cannot prevail against it."
Gordimer eschews quotation marks entirely, and question marks mostly, using dashes to set off dialogue. Careful reading is required at times to distinguish between the characters' internal thoughts and their spoken dialogue. She also is not hampered by conventional grammar. Sentences with no predicate clause abound, and reading this book is often like trying to listen to four conversations at once, about four different topics. This is how we think, and the technique serves to pull us closer in to the character's point of view, if we take the time to follow the threads.
The Kirkus review of this book refers to the "exfoliation" of the plot, and after I rolled my eyes, I looked up the word and found it an apt description. The plot really does come off in layers, and the reader must simply sign on for the ride and let the multiple meanings come through.

entire premise of book is made up science.......2006-01-10
I was very disappointed in a much-celebrated, Nobel prize winning author who didn't do her homework. First of all, the main character, Paul, has 'papillary carcinoma, the worst kind of thyroid cancer.' Except that papillary thyroid cancer is actually the LEAST deadly kind of cancer, of all the cancers out there. It has a nearly 100% cure rate is people under age 60. I had this type of cancer 13 years ago, and have never even required a hospital stay after one of my radiation treatments. So to build the entire premise of the novel around his needed isolation is based on made up science. And if he's such a danger to his family, why is he out of the hospital and living with his parents and the housekeeper? I couldn't get past the first chapter of this book because the complete lack of accuracy was too infurriating to me.
Book Description
Read the story of the preeminent Lois Lane artist and important early Captain Marvel artist who brought a touch of humor and whimsy to super-hero comics! This profusely illustrated biography covers Kurt's life from his entry into comics in the 1940s to his passing in 2002, featuring hundreds of never-before-published photos and illustrations, and is produced with the full cooperation and participation of the late artist's wife Dorothy. In it, Schaffenberger is also recalled by family, friends and fellow artists such as Murphy Anderson, Will Eisner, Carmine Infantino, Joe Kubert, Alex Ross and Mort Walker - just a handful of the top comics professionals who were influenced by or worked with this comics genius.
Customer Reviews:
Kurt was a great guy..........2007-02-06
Modest, mild mannered, and nice. Yep, nice. I met him a couple times, once at a local show, once at the zoo that is San Diego. He was never anything but kind, even when his eyes made it difficult to sign the stack of pages he'd bring to the shows. This book is a great tribute to one of those artists who had a simple style (deceptively so), who worked on some of the biggest titles at Fawcett and DC Comics, but did so without making a big deal of it, he just turned out great art month after month, story after story.
Kurt started out in the golden age, one of the artists who had the job of taking over Captain Marvel Jr. after Mac Raboy left to do strip work. Kurt so so good he was quickly moved over to work on Cap himself. After Fawcett folded, Kurt moved to DC and the Superman line (with some moonlighting at ACG). This book covers all that, with great stories about the people who made the comics. But most of all, this book is Kurt, his art, and the people who loved then both.
Schaffenberger drew like nobody else, you can always spot his stuff from a mile away, in a good sense. To him it was 'just a job', but to us middle-aged boys, it was magic. Good job Mr. Voger!

Mo' Money, Mo Problems...For tha love of $$$$$$$$$.......2007-10-07
"Get Money Chicks" was a good read. Karen, Mina and Shanna are 3 young women out to make some serious cash. Only problem is, they don't wanna earn it the traditional way. They are sleeping, and even drugging and robbing men to get cash to support there expensive over the top spending habits.
There is also a lot of scandoulous sex, murders, brothers ballin' out of control and secrets in the pages of this book. See if these three ladies love of cash will be there downfall, or will they make it out of the projects?
Money by any Means...........2007-10-04
Anna J. is a special kind of writer... to make us care about three self-proclaimed hookers...(I was like, is she for real? And she was, and she delivered!) First there is Shana, who is all about the paper, then Mina, who after a bad experience decides this is not the life for her, and finally, there's Karen, whose family is well off and has no need to do the things she does. All of these women may come from different backgrounds but they all have one thing in common, the love of money.
I will read anything Anna writes!!!! and you should too... in this tale that's so different from what she's done before, I was eager to turn the pages and was desperate to find out where she was going with this... she's left me hungry for more. Anna, you did the damn thang!!! Keep up the good work and keep bringing the hot tales we enjoy!!!
Get Money!!!!!.......2007-10-03
singing..Biggie's Get Money...Anna J put it down in this book. Karen, Mina, Shanna are all friends who use what they have to fund their expensive lifestyles and they do it with no loyalty to noone but themselves. But when things start to get hectic the truth is revealed and their friendship is tested. I enjoyed this book, it was different than what we have seen from Anna J before and she didn't disappoint! This book should definitely be in your collection better yet your order!
Great Read.......2007-10-02
Karen, Mina and Shannon are some nasty chicks, who would do whatever it takes to get money. This book was fast paced and very interesting, it kept me on my toes wondering what nasty stunt, they each would have pulled next to get money, to then only turn around and spend the money on clothes,bags and shoes while they still lived in the projects. Karen was the dumbest of them all because she was filthy rich and still did the things she did to prove she was hood. Good read, but the characters are airheads.
Mo' money, mo' problems..........2007-09-15
Mina, Shanna, and Karen, three around the way chicks; friends to the end, who are so caught up in fast money, fast living, and toe-curling sex that they are willing to do almost anything to get it, including pushing weight, and sleeping with the other's men.
As the story unfolds, lies, deception and reckless decisions bring about life-altering consequences that affects each friend's life, and their friendship will be tested like never before. Will they continue chasing paper and pipe dreams, or will they learn some very valuable lessons about life, love and friendship? See for yourself.
Anna J has crafted a wonderful, fast-paced novel loaded with drama and steamy sex that will keep her readers hanging on for more!

I thought about being a gigolo... dont kno about that after reading this..
Another twist from a Versatile Author.......2007-03-19
Jihad has managed to pull us in with another one---- a tale that is so real that you would swear it is about someone that you know! One of the things that gets me about his contribution to GIGOLOS is the way he is able to bring social issues such as HIV to the fore, giving the reader more than just a sexy tale. He makes you think a bit as well. Kudos to you, man.
Save your money!!!!!!!.......2006-06-29
After reading Mr Joseph's story, I could have closed the book. I've never read anything by the other two authors but after reading their efforts in this book, I'm not encouraged to purchase their work.
Disappointing.......2006-06-11
I picked up this book only because Dwayne Joseph was a contributing writer. I was disappointed. Only When You're Lonely wasn't terrible... It was just a bit far-fetched and didn't grab me. Carter was a self-confident player in the beginning simply concerned about the $ signs and nothing else. He does a 180 and becomes smitten for Sam in a love-at-first sight episode that I couldn't connect with. Sure the feelings they had for one another were confessed...but it didn't seem real. Maybe because the story wasn't long enough? Who knows? Even the way Carter got caught up seemed fake. After this disappointing read, I barely gave the other two stories a chance before losing interest in the book. I wasn't a fan of Jihad's writing style and Roy Glenn's story was just filler.
Dwayne, get with it again. I couldn't even believe you wrote this tiredness. I would like to see more work from you like Choices, The Womanizers, and your contribution to Dollar. I won't give up on you yet.
Well Done!!!!!!.......2006-06-05
Dwayne Joseph opens up this novel with a story about a gigolo who is making straight cheddar,he finally falls in love but then has to choose between his getting money career or his new love in his life you will be shocked by the twists in this story. Roy Glenn comes in next with Playa Chronicles the ending will leave your jaw on the floor. This was a very realistic thing taht could happen if you don't keep it real with people's feelings.
And last but most certainly not least is Jihad. Jihad is doing big things in this read. He is by far a wonderful great AA author who I feel is going to bring avid readers nothing but the best his stories just keep getting better and better each time that I have read him. He is a very intelligent smart brother who is going to take you the reader on a ride that you won't soon forget. I hope to see his short story "Who's Your Daddy" as it's own novel someday.

Thank Heavens for Bill Butterworth.......2002-08-17
Bill Butterworth is a God among writers. Evereything from his Peanutbutter Family series to Shoot for the Stars. The man is extremely versatile and very talented. Definately a must read.
Funnier than Dave Barry!!! Don't miss this!!.......1999-10-10
I picked this book up after I heard Bill speak and read the entire book in one sitting. My gut was sore for the next few days because I laughed so hard.
Insightful and witty.......1999-06-17
I could not put this book down. Very insightful into guy-stuff. Helped me relate to my husband more. Very funny.
Definitely worth reading!.......1998-08-23
This one is one most of us can relate to. Who hasn't tried to put his/her life together? Well, Butterworth shows us with warmth and wit the perils of going it alone--and taking four boys along for the ride!!!

Ups and Downs.......2001-10-02
It's a good book if you love Garfield, but don't come to expect it to be like the regular comic strips. The comedy is limited, and the book is short and thin, but at least it's color :)
A great choice for Garfield fans!.......2000-07-15
I ordered "Garfield Gets a Life" from amazon.com a while ago and won't ever regret it. I believe it's one of garfield's funnier TV-special-type books. As noted above, the book was published in 1991, when Jim Davis's ideas were still original, and not so repetitive. One thing's for certain: Garfield really does know how to enjoy life! I would truely recommend this particular book to any and all Garfield fans out there, especially because it's almost NEVER found in book stores.
