Return to Pegasia (Xander and the Rainbow-Barfing Unicorns)
by Matthew K. ManningXander Stone travels to the home world of the Rainbow-Barfing Unicorns and it smells surprisingly good! Once banished for being stinky, zombielike, upchucking creatures, the Rainbow-Barfing Unicorns (still stinky, zombielike, upchucking creatures) return to their home world, Pegasia. Twelve-year-old Xander travels along, but Pegasia isn't the retched realm he expects. Instead, beautiful, brightly colored, tra-la-la-ing unicorns roam this fairy tale-ish world. Heck, even their farts smell strawberry-sweet! Which is a problem, since the Rainbow-Barfers just emptied their stomachs and are craving fruit-flavored unicorns!

From his first sort-of date (a disaster) to his first semiformal dance (a bigger disaster), all Tad wants to do is make it out of this year alive. But that's not the only reason he keeps a blog. Tad also has a lot of important thoughts he needs to get off his chest, like: I don't get the phrase "you are what you eat." It seems to me like the only people that's true for are cannibals. This highly illustrated and hilarious book is by the Emmy® Award-winning former head writer of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and is based on a column in MAD Magazine. Through a series of daily entries, readers are treated to a year in Tad's blog that will leave them in stitches.MAD Magazine and all related characters and elements are trademarks of and © E.C.

Reuben, Reuben: A Novel
by Peter De VriesSuburban absurdity meets good old American despair in this acclaimed novel by “the funniest serious writer to be found on either side of the Atlantic” (Kingsley Amis).Harking from the golden age of fiction set in American suburbia—the school of John Updike and Cheever—this work from the great American humorist Peter De Vries looks with laughter upon its lawns, its cocktails, and its slightly unreal feeling of comfort. A manic epic, Reuben, Reuben is really three books in one, tied together by a 1950s suburban Connecticut setting and hyper-literate cast of characters. A corruptible chicken farmer fearful for the fate of his beloved town, a womanizing poet from Wales (Dylan Thomas in disguise), and a hapless British poet-cum-actor-and-agent all take turns as narrator, revealing different, even conflicting views. But alcoholism, sexism, small-mindedness, and calamity challenge the high spirits of De Vries’s well-read suburbanites. Noted as much for his verbal fluidity and wordplay as for his ability to see humor through pain, De Vries will delight both new readers and old in this uproarious modern masterpiece.
