]]> Go the Fuck to Sleep 11192642 A laugh-out-loud, adults-only bedtime story for parents familiar with the age-old struggle of putting their kids to bed

“Hell no, you can’t go to the bathroom. You know where you can go? The f**k to sleep.�

Go the Fuck to Sleep is a book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, it captures the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night.

Read by a host of celebrities, from Samuel L. Jackson to Jennifer Garner, this subversively funny bestselling storybook will not actually put your kids to sleep, but it will leave you laughing so hard you won’t care.]]> 64 Adam Mansbach 1617750255 Steve 4 4.27 2011 Go the Fuck to Sleep

]]> <![CDATA[The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait]]> 91760
Published in its entirety, Frida Kahlo’s amazing, illustrated journal documents the last 10 years of her turbulent life. These passionate, often surprising, intimate records, kept under lock and key for some 40 years in Mexico, reveal many new dimensions in the complex personal life of this remarkable artist.

The 170-page journal contains the artist’s thoughts, poems, and dreams—many reflecting her stormy relationship with her husband, artist Diego Rivera—along with 70 mesmerizing watercolor illustrations. Her views of love, politics, and more come into sharp focus in a kaleidoscope of creativity and thought.

In his introduction, award-winner Carlos Fuentes, one of Mexico’s most important writers and critics, ties Kahlo’s images of pain, loss, mutilation, and transcendence to Mexico’s historic cycles of revolution and reaction. Sprinkled with irony, black humor, even gaiety, and augmented with translations of the diary entries plus commentaries and photographs, her diary stands as a reminder of not only Kahlo’s formidable talent, but also her resilience and courage.

The text entries, written in Frida’s round, full script in brightly colored inks, make the journal as captivating to look at as it is to read. Her writing reveals the artist’s political sensibilities, recollections of her childhood, and her enormous courage in the face of more than 35 operations to correct injuries she had sustained in an accident at the age of 18.

This intimate portal into her life is sure to fascinate fans of the artist, art historians, and women’s culturalists alike.]]> 296 Frida Kahlo 0810959542 Steve 0 to-read 3.91 1995 The Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait

Alain prie pour que le sort les épargne, pour que ce grand jour en soit un de fête et de guérison. Or un nom resurgit au détour d’une phrase, un nom maudit remonté du fond de sa mémoire, là où gisent la honte et la douleur des années sombres, un nom que rejoignent bientôt une voix, un corps, une histoire. Un fantôme se fait chair, qui a plusieurs visages. Et tout ce qu’on a voulu oublier, tout ce qu’on a refusé de voir, tout ce qu’on a détesté vient réclamer son dû.

Comme on fait son lit on se couche. Car la vie, ya Alain, est un piège qui sommeille dans la prison du temps. Oui, la vie, ya ebni, souviens-t’en, ne dure pas : quelques joies, de grandes peines, mille secrets, mille dangers.]]> 512 Alain Farah Steve 5 3.97 Mille secrets mille dangers

]]> Les platanes d'Istanbul 63333048
Caroline Lavergne est dessinatrice. Elle et Tassia sont amies. En novembre 2013, Caroline part rejoindre Tassia en Turquie pour « mettre en dessins » ses mots, son Istanbul. Armée de sa plume et de ses aquarelles, Caroline s’imprègne de la vie stambouliote. Elle ramène de son voyage des illustrations des scènes et des habitants d’Istanbul empreintes de douceur et de sensibilité.

Les platanes d’Istanbul, c’est une histoire d’amitiés au pluriel et une chronique de la vie loin de chez soi. Tassia Trifiatis-Tezgel y explore les questions du métissage culturel, des racines et des liens familiaux, dans une langue poétique, sensible et audacieuse.

À mi-chemin entre la chronique de voyage et le journal intime, ce livre, né d’un ensemble d’amitiés, offre une vision émouvante et insolite de la cinquième plus grande ville du monde, hors des sentiers battus et à l’écart des seuls lieux touristiques. Résultat d’une création à quatre yeux et à quatre mains, c’est aussi une ode aux femmes et à l’amitié féminine en particulier.]]> 126 Tassia Trifiatis-Tezgel 292439743X Steve 5 4.13 Les platanes d'Istanbul

]]> <![CDATA[Attack Surface (Little Brother, #3)]]> 49247283 Cory Doctorow's Attack Surface is a standalone novel set in the world of New York Times bestsellers Little Brother and Homeland.

Most days, Masha Maximow was sure she'd chosen the winning side.

In her day job as a counterterrorism wizard for an transnational cybersecurity firm, she made the hacks that allowed repressive regimes to spy on dissidents, and manipulate their every move. The perks were fantastic, and the pay was obscene.

Just for fun, and to piss off her masters, Masha sometimes used her mad skills to help those same troublemakers evade detection, if their cause was just. It was a dangerous game and a hell of a rush. But seriously self-destructive. And unsustainable.

When her targets were strangers in faraway police states, it was easy to compartmentalize, to ignore the collateral damage of murder, rape, and torture. But when it hits close to home, and the hacks and exploits she’s devised are directed at her friends and family--including boy wonder Marcus Yallow, her old crush and archrival, and his entourage of naïve idealists--Masha realizes she has to choose.

And whatever choice she makes, someone is going to get hurt.]]> 382 Cory Doctorow 1250757533 Steve 3 3.88 2020 Attack Surface (Little Brother, #3)

]]> Fairy Tale 60177373 Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes deep into the well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher—for their world or ours.

Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is seventeen, he meets Howard Bowditch, a recluse with a big dog in a big house at the top of a big hill. In the backyard is a locked shed from which strange sounds emerge, as if some creature is trying to escape. When Mr. Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie the house, a massive amount of gold, a cassette tape telling a story that is impossible to believe, and a responsibility far too massive for a boy to shoulder.

Because within the shed is a portal to another world—one whose denizens are in peril and whose monstrous leaders may destroy their own world, and ours. In this parallel universe, where two moons race across the sky, and the grand towers of a sprawling palace pierce the clouds, there are exiled princesses and princes who suffer horrific punishments; there are dungeons; there are games in which men and women must fight each other to the death for the amusement of the “Fair One.� And there is a magic sundial that can turn back time.

A story as old as myth, and as startling and iconic as the rest of King’s work, Fairy Tale is about an ordinary guy forced into the hero’s role by circumstance, and it is both spectacularly suspenseful and satisfying.]]> 607 Stephen King 1668002175 Steve 0 to-read 4.04 2022 Fairy Tale

]]> Demon Copperhead 60194162 Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9780063251922.

"Anyone will tell you the born of this world are marked from the get-out, win or lose."

Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities.

Many generations ago, Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield from his experience as a survivor of institutional poverty and its damages to children in his society. Those problems have yet to be solved in ours. Dickens is not a prerequisite for readers of this novel, but he provided its inspiration. In transposing a Victorian epic novel to the contemporary American South, Barbara Kingsolver enlists Dickens' anger and compassion, and above all, his faith in the transformative powers of a good story. Demon Copperhead speaks for a new generation of lost boys, and all those born into beautiful, cursed places they can't imagine leaving behind.]]> 560 Barbara Kingsolver Steve 0 to-read 4.46 2022 Demon Copperhead

Pourquoi Maxime-Henri prend-il 75 heures pour s’habiller même si ses vêtements sont prêts à être enfilés?? Pourquoi Simone-Fleur fait-elle une crise au moment d’aller dans le bain et en fait-elle une autre pour ne pas en sortir?? Pourquoi Lili-Soleil oublie-t-elle la consigne qu’elle comprenait très bien il y a 0,24 seconde?? D’où viennent les crises, le refus de partager, les interminables routines prédodo, la découverte de son corps, l’impulsivité ou l’angoisse de séparation?? Tant de questions�

À l’opposé des guides populaires qui donnent les mêmes trucs à tout le monde, ce livre drôle, bienveillant, déculpabilisant, un brin rentre-dedans et formidablement pratique permet de cerner le besoin caché derrière le comportement de son ti-pou. Comment?? En invitant les parents à se poser d’abord cette grande question : «?Qu’est-ce que je vois quand mon enfant fait ça???»

Le ti-pou d’Amérique propose une approche dépourvue de jugement qui valide que c’est tough en sivouplait la parentalité. Et qui normalise le ressenti du parent même si c’est sa responsabilité de comprendre son enfant pour mieux intervenir auprès de lui. Alors, on met nos idées préconçues à la poubelle et on prend notre enfant par la main, là où il est et non là où il devrait être selon Internet (ou la belle-sœur dont le ti-pou est teeelllement parfait).]]> 182 Sarah Hamel 2898273821 Steve 4 4.73 Le ti-pou d'Amérique : mieux le comprendre pour mieux intervenir

Radicalized is the story of a desperate husband, a darknet forum and the birth of a violent uprising against the US health care system.

«Decidira riscar o passado […]. Construíra-me à sombra do meu pai e do mistério que o rodeava. Porém, aquele canto de sereia, sublime e luminoso, revelava-se mortífero e capaz de me engolir para todo o sempre.»

Virginia nasceu no mar alto, a bordo de um veleiro construído pelo navegador Peter Tangvald. Este navegador era o seu pai, mas ela apenas viria a conhecê-lo através dos livros que ele publicou e das reportagens que protagonizou: Virginia era ainda bebé quando a sua mãe fugiu do marido e daquele barco a que chamavam casa. O lendário aventureiro norueguês viveria os seus dias vogando as ondas e desafiando convenções. Casou-se sete vezes e perdeu misteriosamente duas mulheres. Até que ele próprio morreu num naufrágio.

Volvidas décadas sobre a morte do pai e impelida pela ânsia de conhecer a sua herança, Virginia decidiu empreender a viagem de uma vida: navegando por entre os enigmas de uma história de liberdade, errância e perda, vai reunindo peças espalhadas pelos quatro oceanos.

Da ilha de Bonaire a Porto Rico, passando por Toronto e pela Noruega, esta é uma odisseia familiar para esconjurar o destino, preencher as lacunas e ancorar a identidade. Na tradição de autores como Melville, Defoe ou Baricco, a escritora � também música e cineasta � conduz o leitor numa viagem ao fundo de si.]]> 216 Virginia Tangvald 2709672588 Steve 0 to-read 3.88 Les enfants du large

Martin Hench is 67 years old, single, and successful in a career stretching back to the beginnings of Silicon Valley. He lives and roams California in a very comfortable fully-furnished touring bus, The Unsalted Hash, that he bought years ago from a fading rock star. He knows his way around good food and fine drink. He likes intelligent women, and they like him back often enough.

Martin is a―contain your excitement―self-employed forensic accountant, a veteran of the long guerilla war between people who want to hide money, and people who want to find it. He knows computer hardware and software alike, including the ins and outs of high-end databases and the kinds of spreadsheets that are designed to conceal rather than reveal. He’s as comfortable with social media as people a quarter his age, and he’s a world-level expert on the kind of international money-laundering and shell-company chicanery used by Fortune 500 companies, mid-divorce billionaires, and international drug gangs alike. He also knows the Valley like the back of his hand, all the secret histories of charismatic company founders and Sand Hill Road VCs. Because he was there at all the beginnings. He’s not famous, except to the people who matter. He’s made some pretty powerful people happy in his time, and he’s been paid pretty well. It’s been a good life.

Now he’s been roped into a job that’s more dangerous than anything he’s ever agreed to before―and it will take every ounce of his skill to get out alive.]]> 213 Cory Doctorow 1250865840 Steve 0 to-read 3.77 2023 Red Team Blues (Martin Hench, #1)

The first Wool story was released as a standalone short in July of 2011. Due to reviewer demand, the rest of the story was released over the next six months.

This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.

Entre le conte de fées enragé et la reprise hallucinée des récits d’apprentissage, entre la forêt de Sainte-Amère-de-Laurentie et la grande ville électrique, La dévoration des fées raconte le sort de la p’tite, de Grand-maman et de Blanche absente. Mais le récit est ravalé par le chant, le mythe, la fantasmagorie, et une poésie féroce et primordiale hante la narration.

The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup, an uprising that has left Geralt seriously injured.Ěý

The Witcher is supposed to be a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against powerful and dangerous monsters that prey on men in dark times. But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered.

While war rages across the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. It's an impossible situation in which to find one girl—Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra—until a rumor places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor.

Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.

]]> The Final Girl Support Group 55829194 In horror movies, the final girls are the ones left standingĚýwhen the credits roll. They made it through the worst night of their lives…but what happens after?

Like his bestselling novel The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, Grady Hendrix’s latest is a fast-paced, frightening, and wickedly humorous thriller. FromĚýchainĚýsaws to summer camp slayers, The Final Girl Support Group pays tribute to and slyly subverts our most popular horror films—movies like The TexasĚýChainsaw Massacre, AĚýNightmare on Elm Street, and Scream.

Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.

But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.]]> 352 Grady Hendrix 059320123X Steve 0 to-read 3.49 2021 The Final Girl Support Group

]]> La Nuit 864516 La Nuit, écrivait Elie Wiesel en 1983 est un récit, un écrit à part, mais il est la source de tout ce que j'ai écrit par la suite. Le véritable thème de La Nuit est celui du sacrifice d'Isaac, le thème fondateur de l'histoire juive. Abraham veut tuer Isaac, le père veut tuer son fils, et selon une tradition légendaire le père tue en effet son fils. L'expérience de notre génération est, à l'inverse, celle du fils qui tue le père, ou plutôt qui survit au père. La Nuit est l'histoire de cette expérience.

"Ce que j'affirme, c'est que ce témoignage qui vient après tant d'autres et qui décrit une abomination dont nous pourrions croire que plus rien ne nous demeure inconnu, est cependant différent, singulier, unique... L'enfant qui nous raconte ici son histoire était un élu de Dieu. Il ne vivait, depuis l’éveil de sa conscience, que pour Dieu, nourri du Talmud, ambitieux d’être initié à la Kabbale, voué à l’Eternel. Avions-nous jamais pensé à cette conséquence d’une horreur moins visible, moins frappante que d’autres abominations, � la pire de toutes, pourtant, pour nous qui possédons la foi : la mort de Dieu dans cette âme d’enfant qui découvre d’un seul coup le mal absolu ?"

Twenty Years After (1845), the sequel to The Three Musketeers, is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure.

Two decades have passed since the musketeers triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady. Time has weakened their resolve, and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and stratagems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But their greatest test is a titanic struggle with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil.]]> 845 Alexandre Dumas 0192838431 Steve 0 4.06 1845 Twenty Years After (Trilogie des Mousquetaires #2)

Parallèlement à la montée du néolibéralisme, un nouveau «régime de vérité» a émergé à la fin du siècle dernier: non plus celui des faits tangibles et soi-disant «objectifs», comme dans le journalisme positiviste, mais celui de la vérité ressentie. Le succès des radios d'opinion, la multiplication des chroniqueurs démagogues ou l'élection de Donald Trump en témoignent, ce sont principalement les forces de droite et d'extrême droite qui ont accaparé ce régime de vérité. Pandémie aidant, les théories complotistes ont gagné du terrain, brouillant encore davantage les frontières entre le réel et le virtuel, le vrai et le faux. C'est la collision des récits.

Pour regagner la confiance du public, les journalistes auraient intérêt à opérer un virage dans leur rapport à la vérité et au pouvoir. Accepteront-ils de reconnaître les biais inhérents à leur métier? Sauront-ils renouer avec les citoyen.ne.s dans un esprit de démocratisation de la société? Malgré les critiques qu'il leur adresse, c'est l'espoir que porte Philippe de Grosbois avec cet essai qui déjoue tous les clichés sur le quatrième pouvoir.]]> 196 Philippe de Grosbois 2897197552 Steve 5 4.31 La collision des récits: le journalisme face à la désinformation

Richesse très convoitée: quand Leto Atréides reçoit Dune en fief, il flaire le piège. Il aura besoin des guerriers Fremen qui, réfugiés au fond du désert, se sont adaptés à une vie très dure en préservant leur liberté, leurs coutumes et leur foi mystique. Ils rêvent du prophète qui proclamera la guerre sainte et qui, à la tête des commandos de la mort changera le cours de l'histoire.
Cependant les Révérendes Mères du Bene Gesserit poursuivent leur programme millénaire de sélection génétique; elles veulent créer un homme qui concrétisera tous les dons latents de l'espèce. Tout est fécond dans ce programme, y compris ses défaillances.

]]> <![CDATA[Energy and Civilization: A History]]> 31850765 A comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society throughout history, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel-driven civilization.

Energy is the only universal currency; it is necessary for getting anything done. The conversion of energy on Earth ranges from terra-forming forces of plate tectonics to cumulative erosive effects of raindrops. Life on Earth depends on the photosynthetic conversion of solar energy into plant biomass. Humans have come to rely on many more energy flows—ranging from fossil fuels to photovoltaic generation of electricity—for their civilized existence. In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel–driven civilization.

Humans are the only species that can systematically harness energies outside their bodies, using the power of their intellect and an enormous variety of artifacts—from the simplest tools to internal combustion engines and nuclear reactors. The epochal transition to fossil fuels affected everything: agriculture, industry, transportation, weapons, communication, economics, urbanization, quality of life, politics, and the environment. Smil describes humanity's energy eras in panoramic and interdisciplinary fashion, offering readers a magisterial overview. This book is an extensively updated and expanded version of Smil's Energy in World History (1994). Smil has incorporated an enormous amount of new material, reflecting the dramatic developments in energy studies over the last two decades and his own research over that time.]]> 552 Vaclav Smil 0262035774 Steve 4 4.10 2017 Energy and Civilization: A History

]]> <![CDATA[The New York Trilogy (New York Trilogy, #1-3)]]> 431 The remarkable, acclaimed series of interconnected detective novels � from the author of 4 3 2 1: A Novel

The New York Review of Books has called Paul Auster’s work “one of the most distinctive niches in contemporary literature.� Moving at the breathless pace of a thriller, this uniquely stylized triology of detective novels begins with City of Glass, in which Quinn, a mystery writer, receives an ominous phone call in the middle of the night. He’s drawn into the streets of New York, onto an elusive case that’s more puzzling and more deeply-layered than anything he might have written himself. In Ghosts, Blue, a mentee of Brown, is hired by White to spy on Black from a window on Orange Street. Once Blue starts stalking Black, he finds his subject on a similar mission, as well. In The Locked Room, Fanshawe has disappeared, leaving behind his wife and baby and nothing but a cache of novels, plays, and poems.

This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition includes an introduction from author and professor Luc Sante, as well as a pulp novel-inspired cover from Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic artist of Maus and In the Shadow of No Towers.]]> 308 Paul Auster 0143039830 Steve 0 to-read 3.93 1987 The New York Trilogy (New York Trilogy, #1-3)
