The CCLaP 100: Volume 1 Jason Pettus http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/8143 en 2009 Join Jason Pettus, executive director of the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography (cclapcenter.com), as he takes an informed yet irreverent look at the subject of "literary classics," reading for the first time a hundred such books then penning funny, insightful guides to whether or not they deserve the label. Already a cult hit online, this is the first bound collection of these essays (this first volume collecting up the first 33 in the series), covering authors from the ancient Greeks to postmodernist hipsters and everyone in between; and as released under CCLaP's well-known "pay what you want" system, it even makes the book technically free if so desired. Stop bluffing your way through cocktail parties! Pick up volume one of the CCLaP 100 and see for yourself what truly constitutes a classic in our contemporary times. funny Photography Jason essays literature chicago critique study classics humorous easy literary notes analysis cclap guides cliff informed entertaining center pettus victorian modernist postmodernist http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/8143.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/8143.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/8143.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/8143.mobi Uncollected Stories Small Stories http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7283 en 2009 The second collection from the popular Feedbooks download author. 50 microfictions - sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing, always perfect for mobile reading. funny fiction weird short story surreal microfiction flash fiction very short story mobile reading quirky http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7283.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7283.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7283.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7283.mobi Schemata Michael Markefka http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7055 en 2009 A "hero hunts MacGuffin, gets into trouble, maybe out of it" tech yarn. Has literary merit the way high-gloss pornography has artistic merit. The paint-by-numbers: "Agent Eric Gray has seen better nights (and a lot of better days) when a midnight call to duty revives an uneasy past and leads him onto an all-in quest of personal revenge, between rogue agents and a radical sect, towards an high-tech artifact that could spell salvation--or damnation--for mankind as we know it." That's the B-movie trailer voice over blurb. Or Men's Health literature section abstract. The book itself might even have literary merit, even though perhaps the way high-gloss porn has artistic merit. Exciting, thrilling, funny, scary, sad, painful, uplifting, downcasting and a myriad of other inductions. A ride of constant offerings and more than just speed -- and even more platitudes. +1. thriller funny computers tech nerd mystery action suspense http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7055.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7055.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7055.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/7055.mobi Hotel Kaiser Will Arnold & Small Stories http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3367 en 2009 In this collaborative short story a man awakes in a hotel with no memory. funny fiction mystery comic dark weird comedy Writing short story collaboration murder surreal Story collaborative tale hotel spoof twist joke http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3367.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3367.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3367.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/3367.mobi Small Stories Small Stories http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2705 en 2008 101 very short stories, some comic, some dark - each one written to provide a quick entertaining read.
