DOWNLOAD EBOOK2023 Oregon Book Award Finalist in Creative Nonfiction Possums Run Amok is a rollicking, slyly hilarious, at times uncomfortable and dark memoir wherein the author and two friends are nicknamed The Possumettes. With fearless candor, Lora Lafayette recounts her life from a delinquent, late 1970s punk rock adolescence through a crooked, manic, transatlantic path to adulthood and her eventual terrifying descent into schizophrenia. Whip smart, daring, and inventive, Lafayette navigates the harsh realities of being a risk-taking adventurous young woman while seeking to wrest all the wild joy she can out of life. Her story reveals how blurry the line can be between real and unreal, choice and force. It lays bare the startling lack of empathy and services in society for those in crisis. Her voice is singular, her language full of shining unconventional metaphor. Deeply uncomfortable, laugh-out-loud funny, and devastatingly moving, Possums Run Amok is equal parts challenging and entertaining.

THE ANCESTOR'S TALE is a dazzling, four-billion-year pilgrimage to the origins of life: Richard Dawkins and Yan Wong take us on an exhilarating reverse journey through evolution, from present-day humans back to the microbial beginnings of life. It is a journey happily interrupted by meetings of fellow modern animals (as well as plants, fungi and bacteria) similarly tracing their evolutionary path back through history. As each evolutionary pilgrim tells their tale, Dawkins and Wong shed light on topics such as speciation, sexual selection and extinction. Written with unparalleled wit, clarity and intelligence; taking in new scientific discoveries of the past decade; and including new 'tales', illustrations and fractal diagrams, THE ANCESTOR'S TALE shows us how remarkable we are, how astonishing our history, and how intimate our relationship with the rest of the living world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a tale of life, defining everything that we are and hope to become, such as finding love, education, success, and security by overcoming adversities to find happiness. It begins with simple people who find love in the remote areas of Mississippi while hunting raccoons together. They are simple people with simple lives doing simple things. We all lust, we hunger, we suffer, we enjoy. At times, we are deceived. Sometimes, we learn the truth that is often concealed but is revealed to us by someone of higher intellect. We love, we play, we fight, and we rescue and are rescued. Regardless of others’ opinions, we eat what we like. We hunt even if it is nothing more than a bargain at a store. We are all victims of in flagrante delicto—the act of doing something wrong, especially like having illicit sex. You will perhaps find your own self while reading this story.
