Movies R Fun!: A Collection of Cinematic Classics for the Pre-(Film) School Cinephile
by Josh CooleyNo one under seventeen should be admitted without a parent or guardian to these “fun-filled” illustrations of twisted movie moments from a beloved animator (Parade).Let’s face it, reading sucks . . . but movies are fun! In this grown-up parody of a children’s picture book, Pixar writer and artist Josh Cooley presents the most hilariously inappropriate—that is, the best—scenes from contemporary classic films in an illustrated, for-early-readers style. Terrifying, sexy, and awesome scenes from such favorite films as Alien, Rosemary’s Baby, Fargo, Basic Instinct, Seven, The Silence of the Lambs, Apocalypse Now, The Shining, and many more are playfully illustrated and captioned to make reading fun and exciting for kids who never grew up. A sly celebration of the things fans love most about these legendary films (and movies in general), this is one book that probably should not be read at bedtime.
Moving Foreword: Real Introductions to Totally Made-Up Books
by Jon ChattmanA great foreword is more than just a few pages of self-indulgent frippery that comes before a book. A great foreword adds zest. It sets the stage for the page turner you're about to open, and perhaps even puts you in the locked room where a mystery happens or in the high-button shoes of a year gone by. A great foreword—sometimes—is even better than the book it precedes. So why not skip the boring actual-book part? Moving Foreword is a collection of introductions to imaginary books, written by real celebrities, comedians, musicians, and other writers with something to say. With a real foreword by Rainn Wilson, this book offers a no-holds-barred cacophony of laugh-out-loud funny, poignant, and thought-provoking writing that tackles everything from politics to pop culture, true crime to trout fishing, and Star Wars to skin flicks. Highlights include: Bustin' Through: Confessions of a Kool-Aid Man Foreword by "Pop Candy" columnist Whitney Matheson Phil Rosenthal's Who's the Boss?: My Unlikely Rise to Rock Stardom Foreword by "Bruce Springsteen" (Phil Rosenthal) Keep Your Gaze on Me: A True Story of Social Media, Obsession, and Murder Foreword by Shirley Manson, lead vocalist of Garbage Sock Puppet Mozart: The Life and Gruesome Death of Randy Masterson Foreword by actor Thomas Lennon Vance DeGeneris: An Unauthorized Biography Foreword by Vance DeGeneres Everything You Need to Know About Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife Regulations Foreword by New Kids on the Block member Jonathan Knight Fly Ball: How the New York Yankees Have Changed Lives Foreword by talk show host Jerry Springer Terrible Band Names: A Chronology of Rock History Foreword by John Ondrasik, a.k.a. Five for Fighting God's Wow, You're All F***ing This Up Big Time Foreword by singer-songwriter Mary Lambert . . . any many more!

Moving Pictures: A Discworld Novel (Discworld #10)
by Terry Pratchett“Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy.”—Sunday TimesMovie mania sweeps across the Discworld creating disaster in its wake in this delightful take on Tinseltown and the lure of glamour, fame, close-ups, and big dreams from acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.A new phenomenon is taking over the Discworld: moving pictures. The alchemists of Ankh-Morpork have discovered how to get gold from silver—the silver screen, that is. Soon, the growing “clicks” industry moves to the sandy land of Holy Wood, attracted by the light of the sun and some strange un-nameable calling.Victor Tugelbend, a wizarding student dropout who can’t sing and can’t dance wants to be a star, just like small-town girl Theda “Ginger” Withel. But the click of moving pictures isn’t just stirring up dreams inside Discworld. Holy Wood’s magic is drifting out into the boundaries of the universes, where raw realities, the could-have-beens, the might-bes, and the never-weres are beginning to ferment with some wild ideas into a really stinky brew. Because belief is powerful in the Discworld, and sometimes downright dangerous, and the magic of movies might just unravel reality itself.It's up to Victor and Gaspode the Wonder Dog to rein in the chaos and return order to a star-struck Discworld. Are they ready to play the biggest roles of their lives?
Moving the Palace
by Charif Majdalani&“A Middle Eastern heart-of-darkness tale that flows like a dream . . . Crackling with razor-sharp humor&” (The New York Times). At the dawn of the twentieth century, a young Lebanese explorer leaves the Levant for the wilds of Africa, encountering an eccentric English colonel in Sudan and enlisting in his service.

The protagonist soon takes charge of this hoard of architectural fragments, ferrying the dismantled landmark through Sudan, Egypt, and the Arabian Peninsula, attempting to return to his native Beirut with this moveable real estate. Along the way, he will encounter skeptic sheikhs, suspicious tribal leaders, bountiful feasts, pilgrims bound for Mecca, and T. E. Lawrence in a tent—in this &“utterly charming&” novel that was a recipient of the Académie Française&’s François Mauriac Prize (Library Journal). &“Renders the complex social landscape of the Middle East and North Africa with subtlety and finesse . . .

And if Moxy doesn't read all of Stuart Little immediately, there are going to be "consequences."It may look like Moxy is doing nothing, but actually she is very busy with a zillion highly crucial thingsÑlike cleaning up her room (sort of) and training her dog and taking a much-needed rest in the hammock. Just look at the pictures her twin brother Mark takes to document it all--they're scattered throughout--and you'll see why it's so difficult to make time for a book about a mouse.Of course our heroine does manage to finish her book, falling so in love with it that she finds herself reading under the covers with a flashlight, late into the night.From the Hardcover edition.

Mr Key's Shorter Potted Brief, Brief Lives
by Frank KeyWesley, Samuel (British clergyman and poet, 1662 - 1735). On Christmas Day 1716, Wesley was haunted by an apparition of a badger with no head. It was called Jeffrey.Frank writes: "It occurred to me that it would be a good idea to write a modern, updated version of John Aubrey's Brief Lives. But it further occurred to me that some books are unimproveable, and that in trying to follow in Aubrey's footsteps I would embarrass myself and become the butt of ridicule. The idea continued to nag at me, however, and eventually I decided the solution was to outdo Aubrey in brevity. My own Brief Lives would consist of a single, unadorned fact about each of my subjects. So the reader may not learn very much about the life of X or Y or Z, but they would be armed with one little nugget which might come in handy to chuck into a lull during the conversation at the kind of swish sophisticated cocktail party to which they no doubt get invited."Other entries include: Gibson, Willie Harmsworth, Alfred, Lord Northcliffe Jansson, Tove Lennon, John Stein, GertrudeNixon, Richard MilhousSchubert, FranzTippett, MichaelAnderson, John HenryBrooke, CharlesCallaghan, JamesRussell, Ken

While her husband Matt’s career takes off, Marnie Martin is left with the task of pairing socks and locating Lego.
