About this product: ASIN B000BVCW1I - Quite possibly the only book I've ever read cover-to-cover and been able to say this about: I have no clue what the book was supposed to be about! As for genre, also no clue. Baffling, really.
A group of people descend on a Miami hotel for the Spring Nationals, an event of the ACBL (THE bridge organization). Many of them have histories with one another and all of them have their own reasons for being there. Ace McKinley's something of a has-been who'd like to make a comeback. Carola is his ex-wife, accompanied by her friend Babs, who obviously has a lesbian crush on Carola. Vicky is a young, boring girl easily reduced to tears who is there with Katy, who enjoys reducing people to tears. Vicky's real reason for being there is to see Ben again - they'd met in Boston and she developed a crush on him. When they meet again, Ben finds her irrelevant because he's concentrating on Sammy, his bridge partner since college. Sammy and Ben are tied for the lead in the race for the McKenney cup, awarded to the player who wins the most points in a year - and Ben's about to kick Sammy to the curb. Runa is the sex-kitten of the bunch, but underneath, she seems to hate men and enjoys emasculating them. Mary Rose is a ditzy widow who just enjoys the game, but can hardly afford to play. To save money, she picks up leftover food from other people's plates and totes it around in her purse.
The storyline is, despite this great potential batch of characters, boring. In fact, it almost doesn't exist. The group gathers, plays bridge, has some drama and departs. If you don't understand bridge, it's even worse, because there's a lot of detail about the game. Tops, bottoms, specific hands, etc. Enough to bore one right out of continuing reading. By page 197, still not certain what the heck the book was about, I'd decided to barrel through and see if I ever found out. I didn't and I'm not encouraging anyone else to try.
About this product: Carouschka's Tickets is at once a museum of objects, a record of movement, a catalog of graphic form and typography, and a concentrated experience of travel. Hundreds of plane tickets, train tickets, airline baggage tags, bus transfers, taxicab receipts, parking permits, and other bits of travel ephemera from 70 countries are displayed against rich fields of color. Travelers' thoughts and overheard comments are translated and interspersed between the tickets alongside their original-language versions, comments that range from the banal ("tea?") to the personal ("his wife is bound to notice something soon") to the profound ("alas, my spirit, your wanderings have been my home in this life"). This beautifully designed, printed, and bound volume makes real not only the feelings of travel but also of life itself, in subtle, quiet, and brilliant ways. With each page, the book is more an art object, rather than a gathering of art objects, a moving narrative masquerading as a catalog of tickets. --Juliette Cezzar
About this product: Dave and Andy are two classmates from a strict Catholic School in 70s London. Dave is desperate to escape his stifling Irish home life and Andy the cultural trappings of his traditional Polish family. Both dream of opportunities afforded to the strangers on the silver screen. And by chance, they end up working part-time in their local cinema in Notting Hill. They soon discover that being heroes of their own lives and impressing the stars on the ground is a challenge. They embark on a voyage of discovery far more exciting than anything they've seen on film. But when the cinema is threatened with closure, they realise that more than their new found freedom is at risk!
About this product: Melanie arrived at Cooribin. But whatever her reason for leaving London for Australia, love for David was no longer one of them. She had believed David could offer her a new life in a land of great vitality. Now she felt as far from him as the moon. Her feelings were a mixture of pity for him and anger at herself. And excitement over his brother, Jay. If Melanie hadn't known anything about falling in love before, she did now, and the feeling was frightening!
About this product: Click Here. Add to Shopping Cart. Check Out. This traditional approach to eCommerce works well for low-priced, impulse-oriented, and easy-to-understand products and services. However, it doesn't work for companies selling complicated big-ticket products and services. For big-ticket sales ranging from $2,000 to $2.5 million, the add-to-shopping cart, click-here-to-check-out approach just doesn't make sense. If you've been frustrated trying to force a square peg into a round hole, you're about to discover a better way. The Big Ticket eCommerce System is an approach to eCommerce designed exclusively to help you sell high-priced products and services using the Internet.
About this product: In her smart, brief introduction to this collection of lesbian travel erotica, Linnea Due makes a case for the relationship between travel--which is about displacement, movement, and foreignness--and Eros. This volume brings together work from well-known lesbian authors such as Barbara Wilson, Linda Smukler, and Jess Wells as well as stories by newcomers. The range is astonishing, from a wry vignette of a seduction over a map by Shelly Rafferty to a frightening speculative fiction by Myrna Elana set in a post-holocaust world where people live in underground tunnels. Some of the settings are more expected, such as a night train through Europe, or cyberspace, but all of the stories explore how lesbians cross borders, both sexual and geographic.
