""If you're reading this, it means I'm already dead. Just kidding."" In 2009, at thirty years old, Bryan Bishop's life was right on track. Known to millions as "Bald Bryan," the sidekick and soundman on the record-setting podcast, "The Adam Carolla Show," his radio career was taking off. He was newly engaged. Then, he and his fiancee Christie were delivered a crushing blow when he was diagnosed with a brain stem glioma--an inoperable brain tumor. Suddenly Bryan's promising future was transformed into a grueling schedule of radiation and chemotherapy while facing his mortality. In this poignant narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and hysterical, Bishop shares the surreal experiences of writing his will with the bravado of a pulp novelist, taking chemo in a strip club, and (technically) the closest he ever got to achieving his lifelong dream of a threesome--when a physical therapist had to show his wife how to bathe him in the shower during his weakened state. Whether recounting his search for the most aggressive form of treatment, how radiation treatment jeopardized his ability to (literally) walk down the aisle or even smile for his wedding photos, or recalling the time his wife inadvertently drugged him in a pool in Maui, Bishop's inimitable voice radiates through his story. As the author celebrates how treatment shrunk his tumor and gave him a new lease on life, "Shrinkage" reveals the resilience of the human spirit--and the power of laughter--during even the darkest times., "**"A" New York Times "bestseller"**""" ""If you're reading this, it means I'm already dead.

If Australian writing were a horse race, Murnane would be the winner by three and a half lengths.' Andy Griffiths 'A marvellous book about horse racing, one of the best this country has produced.When, after a string of affairs, Peter's father left his mother and remarried, the idyll was broken and several stepchildren, including Little Peter, entered von Ziegesar's life.At first children came for a free bowl of porridge, but many grew to love the game that-like their daily lives-requires persevering against great obstacles.For Denton, that's in just two days--the day of his senior prom.He studied geology and mineralogy in Freiburg with Abraham Werner, the key proponent of Neptunism, the theory that all rocks had an aqueous origin.And now she has to go back to Fayette to Wyatt Stokes, sitting on death row; to Lori Cawley, Callie s dead cousin; and to the one other person who may be hiding the truth.Award-winning historian Jonathan D.In Every Little Step, Brown will for the first time tell the full story of his life and set the record straight, particularly about his relationship with Whitney Houston.The key to competing with today's top players is finding the post-flop edge, but to really understand this new playing style, you need to get comfortable with the underlying math.
