Book SynopsisIn this elegant but pocketable edition, passionate bibliophile Michael Ross has curated 114 favorite literary quotes from the collection of over 1,500 well-read books on his shelves—but this isn't your typical rehashing of Bartlett's quotations. Michael Ross brings together the ways in which we view reality and the ways in which our own thoughts and contemplation shape that reality from such a new perspective, even the authors themselves will probably find this book useful and insightful.Featuring quotations from John Fowles, Richard Russo, Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, Philip Roth, Ivan Doig, Jim Harrison, Gunter Grass, Milan Kundera, Eleanor Catton, Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Penn Warren, John Steinbeck, Oscar Wilde, Lorrie Moore, Walker Percy, and many, many, more.Trade ReviewPraise for Ross's Timely Discoveries"Truly exceptional and simply stated, Ross's Timely Discoveries is a bibliophile's treasure that is unreservedly and enthusiastically recommended for personal reading lists, as well as community, and academic library Literary Studies collection."—Midwest Book Review"Reading Michael Ross's collection of quotes along with his comments feels like peeking into another's diary and finding a relationship with the enclosed contents. Just as elusive time flies from us, so do we adapt to different identities at varied ages. As a consummate reader, the author, intrigued by the changing aspects of time, selects quotes from literature relating to how the present, past, and future are viewed. Take a quote from John Updike, who comments on how paradise always lies in the past or future, but not in the present. It seems the grass is always greener somewhere else. Pithy truisms related to impressions of mutable time, feelings of age, and the value of memory selected from American and British authors grace the pages with insightfully incisive editorial comments. Familiar authors such as Bernard Malamud, Garrison Keillor, Doris Lessing, Oscar Wilde, Elia Kazan, and more serve as the sources. The book's design is unique; it resembles an old-fashioned hardback classic in pocket-book size with a valentine red binding. The script on the black and white pages is elegantly lettered, and these are interspersed with skillful illustrations of some of the included authors by Cara Lowe. An interesting collection of timely thoughts."—San Francisco Book Review

Simon & Schuster The Book of Pet Love and Loss: Words of Comfort
Book SynopsisA powerful collection of quotations by writers, leaders, and legends on the pain of losing a pet and overcoming grief.An animal’s love is deep, uncomplicated, unconditional, and forgiving. “Affection without ambivalence” is how Sigmund Freud described the connection. “No matter how awful the day, or how awful I am behaving at any given moment, George doesn’t care,” writes journalist John Dickerson. “He finds me smoldering in my chair and dashes to my lap.” Our lives are intricately intertwined with our pets, and together, over time, we establish rituals that are as steady as a metronome. It’s no wonder the grief is crushing when they depart—even those who’ve had time to prepare describe feeling stunned, devastated, and cracked in two. “We were a bit broken up over the death of our black Persian cat,” crime novelist Raymond Chandler confessed. “When I say a bit broken up, I am being conventional. For us it was a tragedy.” Nobel Prize-winning author V. S. Naipaul described the experience as “calamitous,” and writer May Sarton called it a “volcanic eruption of woe.” Poet Emily Dickinson was so bereft she asked for help: “Carlo died,” she announced in a letter to her friend Thomas Wentworth Higginson in 1866. “Would you instruct me now?” The Book of Pet Love and Loss is a collection of quotations—poignant thoughts and memories discovered in letters, journals, diaries, memoirs, and other original sources—from beloved cultural figures who understood this singular experience so deeply, they felt compelled to write about it. This book dignifies the profound connection we share with our animal companions, but it also provides solace as mourners document their heartache over the loss of their cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and other animals—even, in the case of Pablo Neruda, a mongoose. Their comforting and wise words are what every animal lover needs on this journey of heartbreak and healing.

Kerber Verlag Overtrump
Book SynopsisA portrait of the most powerful men in the world through his own words. To 'overtrump' oneself or others does not necessarily have negative connotations. It also means to get the maximum out of oneself, to constantly better ones standing, and to learn from what has come before. With this collection of quotations, Sven Lindhorst-Emme shows a broad sampling of Donald Trump's verbalisations, and thus, of how he thinks, and ultimately leave it to the reader to create their own picture. The quotations that make up this publication are often contradictory: they impress, shock, surprise, amaze, amuse, provoke anger, sadden, or leave one incredulous and confused. From interviews to television appearances to speeches and a number of social media channels - Donald Trump is everywhere.
