Pen Name - Doctor Chicken (Pen Name Ser. #1)

Sometimes Stratford Dale feels like Doctor Chicken consumes his life. It's his pen name for a series of wildly popular children's books. They were his brainchild; he meant for them to be a way to pay his many bills while he pursued his dream of publishing graphic novels. But the Doctor Chicken contract was a raw deal. Instead, he churns out book after book for a pittance, leaving him broke and no closer to his dreams. Stratford's dreams of love have fared no better, but he's still trying. After yet another disastrous date, he's intrigued by a man going into a cooking class--so he takes the class too. Vinnie Giani is a successful, self-made man who is charmed by Stratford's bow ties, sharp humor, and clumsiness--which leads to an opportunity to take Stratford in for stitches. Vinnie is, above all, responsible, having taken on the care of his mother and sisters from a young age. Perhaps it's natural when he begins to treat Stratford more as a child who needs a parent than as an equal partner. But when Vinnie tries to "fix" Stratford's career woes--including the Doctor Chicken problem--and ends up making the situation worse, their fledgling relationship may not withstand the the strain created by blame and lies.

El pendejonario: Diccionario de pendejos y pendejadas

Diviértase y deje de hacerse pendejo, o hágalo, pero mientras lee El pendejonario. En El pendejonario encontrará: - Tipologías: descubra a cuál pendejo pertenece, puede ser que se identifique con más de dos. - Sobre lo pendejo y sus derivados: la pendejez está adherida al habla hispana, vea los usos de este calificativo y sus derivados en Latinoamérica. - Horóscopos: su pendejez no es gratuita, sino producto de la posición relativa de los planetas el día en que usted nació. - Frases de gente famosa: ni siquiera Borges, Sócrates o Einstein se salvan de la maldición pendeja, por eso la expresan en sus pendefrases. - Expresiones populares: reflejan alguna situación sobre la pendeja vida. - Canciones y citas literarias pendejas: porque la pendejez no queda fuera de las manifestaciones artísticas. En Algarabía editorial hablamos sobre lo que todos hablan y escribimos de lo que nadie escribe, pero tratado de un modo inteligente, claro y humorístico. Por esta razón, Algarabía, en coordinación con el doctor Justo Muñoz, decidió dedicar este libro a uno de los adjetivos coloquiales que unifican a la humanidad: pendejo. La base para estructurar un proyecto como El pendejonario fue la iniciativa del Partido Autónomo de Pendejos (PAP), que retomó la idea original de don Hermenegildo L. Torres, quien creó la fundación Pro Unificación del Pendejo (PUP), en donde se desarrolló toda una corriente humorística, expuesta tanto en conferencias como en charlas: "tarea de verdadero proselitismo", como el mismo Hermenegildo determinó. El objetivo primordial del PAP es enriquecer el glosario del calificativo pendejo por medio de las aportaciones voluntarias y creativas de todos aquellos que decidan pertenecer a su membresía; así como llevar a cabo diferentes conferencias y charlas referentes al tema, con la finalidad de ampliar el corpus de dicho término en sus diferentes formas y contextos.

The Pendragon Legend (Pushkin Collection)

While visiting a Welsh castle, a young scholar finds himself at the center of occult rituals and a murder mystery in this &“absolute treat&” of a gothic detective story (The Guardian) At an end-of-the London season soiree, the young Hungarian scholar-dilettante Janos Batky is introduced to the Earl of Gwynedd, a reclusive eccentric who is the subject of strange rumors. Invited to the family seat, Pendragon Castle in North Wales, Batky receives a mysterious phone-call warning him not to go. But go he does, plunging him into a bizarre world of mysticism and romance, animal experimentation, and planned murder. His quest to solve the central mystery takes him down strange byways-old libraries and warehouse cellars, Welsh mountains and underground tombs. The Pendragon Legend is Antal Szerb's first novel and is a gently satirical blend of gothic and romantic genres, crossed with the murder mystery format to produce a fast-moving and often hilarious romp. But beneath the surface, the reader becomes aware of a steely intelligence probing moral, psychological, and religious questions.

Penelope

When Penelope O'Shaunessy, "an incoming freshman of average height and lank hair" steps into Harvard Yard for the first time she has lots of advice from her mother: "Don't be too enthusiastic, don't talk to people who seem to be getting annoyed, and for heaven's sake, stop playing Tetris on your phone at parties." Penelope needs this advice. She is the kind of girl who passes through much of her life with coffee spilled on her white shirt, who can't quite tell when people are joking, and who, inevitably, always says the wrong thing. But no amount of coaching will prepare Penelope for the people she meets at school. Gloriously skewering the social hierarchy of college, Penelope is the brilliantly funny story of one of the most singular, memorable heroines in recent fiction.
