Robert G. O'Meally

A timeless classic that never gets boring and will always be a story passed from generation to generation! Most all can relate to their childhood when hearing or reading this story so share with someone you love and make priceless memories!

Huckleberry Finn, rebel against school and church, casual inheritor of gold treasure, rafter of the Mississippi, and savior of Jim the runaway slave, is the archetypical American maverick. Fleeing the respectable society that wants to sivilize him, Huck Finn shoves off with Jim on a rhapsodic raft journey down the Mississippi River. The two bind themselves to one another, becoming intimate friends and agreeing there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft. As Huck learns about love, responsibility, and morality, the trip becomes a metaphoric voyage through his own soul, culminating in the glorious moment when he decides to go to hell rather than return Jim to slavery.

Carly Simon

Rock star. Poet. Feminist icon. Seductress. Survivor.

A Memoir

Carly Simon is a household name. She was a staple of the 70's and 80's Billboard charts and famously married to James Taylor with whom she has two children, but there's so much more to the story behind the headlines and famously cryptic lyrics. Boys In The Trees is a rhapsodic, beautifully compelling memoir of a young woman's coming of age amid the glamorous literati and intelligentsia of Manhattan (her father was Richard Simon, co-founder of Simon & Schuster), the pain of loss and betrayal early on in life, and the strength to leave that all behind and forge a path of art, music and love in the golden age of folk and rock.At once an insider's look into a life lived in the spotlight, a lyric reflection on a particular time in our culture's history, and a beautiful memoir about the pains and joys of love and art as soaring as Patti Smith's JUST KIDS, and shocking as Keith Richard's Life, Boys In The Trees is the story Carly Simon has long been waiting to tell the world.

Robert Browning

A book of poetry written by Robert Browning.

Browning was a revolutionary who broke away from conventional subjects and their conventional treatment to write about real men and women in a language not far removed from real speech. In 1828, at the age of 16, Browning enrolled at the University of London, but he soon left, anxious to read and learn at his own pace. The random nature of his education later surfaced in his writing, leading to criticism of his poems' obscurities. In 1833, Browning anonymously published his first major published work, Pauline, and in 1840 he published Sordello, which was widely regarded as a failure. He also tried his hand at drama, but his plays, including Strafford, which ran for five nights in 1837, and the Bells and Pomegranates series, were for the most part unsuccessful. Nevertheless, the techniques he developed through his dramatic monologues -- especially his use of diction, rhythm, and symbol -- are regarded as his most important contribution to poetry, influencing such major poets of the twentieth century as Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Robert Frost.

In July of 1967, a rebellious college dropout finds himself serving with the Eleventh Armored Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam. He is not your prototypical draftee. His irreverent demeanor, offbeat sense of humor and optimistic attitude help to buoy him, as he faces the horrors of war while keeping a watchful eye on the churning turbulence of change blowing across America. As friends become nightly news statistics, he has no choice but to absorb the pain and continue to fight; fight for his own and for his brothers' survival. Is there any meaning in all this death and destruction? Does God actually exist? One must be patient. The answers are revealed in due time.
