Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir of Hotels, Hustles, and So-Called Hospitality
| Author | Jacob Tomsky |
| ISBN | 0385535635 |
In the tradition of Kitchen Confidential and Waiter Rant, a rollicking, eye-opening, fantastically indiscreet memoir of a life spent (and misspent) in the hotel industry.
Jacob Tomsky never intended to go into the hotel business. As a new college graduate, armed only with a philosophy degree...

For the first time-the story of how the greatest heroes in fantastic literature first met.

From the Earth to the Moon
| Author | Jules Verne |
| ISBN | 1598184547 |
Verne's 1865 tale of a trip to the moon is (as you'd expect from Verne) great fun, even if bits of it now seem, in retrospect, a little strange. Our rocket ship gets shot out of a cannon? To the moon? Goodness! But in other ways it's full of eerie bits of business that turned out to be very near reality: he had...

Love and death walk hand in hand...

Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece
| Author | Three Initiates |
| ISBN | 0911662251 |
This stands as one of the most important books I've read about the nature of reality and the supersensible universe. As with any work intending to teach through words something that is larger and exponentially more complex than language will always require careful study. And though this book is not...
Onibi : Carnets du Japon invisible
Cachés au bord d’un sentier de campagne ou à l’ombre d’un temple, les esprits japonais, renards, tanuki et autres yokai guettent le voyageur égaré dans l’espoir de lui jouer des tours. Cécile et Olivier, fraîchement installés en bordure de la mer du Japon à Niigata, achètent un vieil...
