    Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse

    Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse

    Cover of Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nursebook

    Book Decription:

    With his signature acerbic wit and hilarious voice, twenty-something author, blogger, and entrepreneur Shane Burcaw is back with an essay collection about living a full life in a body that many people perceive as a tragedy. From anecdotes about first introductions where people patted him on the head instead of shaking his hand, to stories of passersby mistaking his able-bodied girlfriend for a nurse, Shane tackles awkward situations and assumptions with humor and grace.

    On the surface, these essays are about day-to-day life as a wheelchair user with a degenerative disease, but they are actually about family, love, and coming of age.

    A Quantum Life: My Unlikely Journey from the Street to the Stars

    Cover of A Quantum Life: My Unlikely Journey from the Street to the Starsbook

    Book Decription:

    A NASA astrophysicist narrates his improbable journey from an impoverished childhood and an adolescence mired in drugs and crime to the nation’s top physics PhD program at Stanford in this inspiring coming-of-age memoir.

    Born into extreme poverty and emotional deprivation, James Edward Plummer was blessed with a genius I.Q. and a love of science. But in his community, a young bookworm quickly becomes a target for violence and abuse. As he struggles to survive his childhood in some of the toughest cities in the country, and his teenage years in the equally poor backwoods of Mississippi, James adopts the hybrid persona of a “gangsta nerd”–dealing weed in juke joints while winning state science fairs with computer programs that untangle the mysteries of Einstein’s relativity theory.

    Cover of The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Peebook

    Book Decription:

    From the outrageously filthy and oddly innocent comedienne Sarah Silverman comes a memoir—her first book—that is at once shockingly personal, surprisingly poignant, and still pee-in-your-pants funny.

It’s Me Chelsea and Artie Lange’s Too Fat to Fish, you’ll love The Bedwetter.
