Wet Socks Anonymous Vs. High Socks AnonymousRound 3Who ever thought that love could erupt just at a fringe of sight? Almost each person (mostly males) debate most on love at first sight. . .although such might be said; mine though begun with a single blink of my eyes. Do female angels exist? Why doesn't the bible mention anything to clear our conscious if really female angels do exist? All we get to read about is Angel Micheal, Angel Gabriel, and Angel Lucifer. I guess female angels are divine, and might even be among us. And sure worth the search.

     Bring Up the Bodies

Alternate Cover Edition ISBN 0805090037 (ISBN13: 9780805090031) The sequel to Hilary Mantel's international bestseller and Man Booker Prize winner Wolf Hall explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes in English history: the downfall of Anne Boleyn. ...

    Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream

      Barbara Ehrenreich
     Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream

The New York Times bestselling investigation into white-collar unemployment from "our premier reporter of the underside of capitalism"--The New York Times Book Review Americans' working lives are growing more precarious every day. Corporations slash employees by the thousands, and the benefits and pensions once guaranteed by "middle-class" jobs are a thing of the past. In Bait and Switch, Barbara Ehrenreich goes back undercover to explore another hidden realm of the economy: the shadowy world of the white-collar unemployed. Armed with the plausible resume of a professional "in transition," she attempts to land a "middle-class" job. She submits to career coaching, personality testing, and EST-like boot camps, and attends job fairs, networking events, and evangelical job-search ministries. She is proselytized, scammed, lectured, and--again and again--rejected. Bait and Switch highlights the people who have done everything right--gotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive resumes--yet have become repeatedly vulnerable to financial disaster. There are few social supports for these newly disposable workers, Ehrenreich discovers, and little security even for those who have jobs. Worst of all, there is no honest reckoning with the inevitable consequences of the harsh new economy; rather, the jobless are persuaded that they have only themselves to blame. Alternately hilarious and tragic, Bait and Switch, like the classic Nickel and Dimed, is a searing expose of the cruel new reality in which we all now live.
