  A “touching and laugh-out-loud funny” memoir about a suddenly unemployed CEO, his family, and the things he discovered when his job disappeared (Booklist).   As a stressed husband and father of four small children under the age of eight, Nigel Marsh was enslaved to his mortgage, recuperating from an embarrassing surgery, and suddenly fired from his corporate career. Deciding to venture off the treadmill in search of a more meaningful and balanced existence, Marsh tackled the art of hands-on parenting while simultaneously training for an ocean swimming race and coming to terms with his alcoholism. Touching on topics ranging from marital sex (or lack thereof), dieting, and parenthood to work, love, football, religion, self-help books, and sharks, this “hilarious and inspiring” international bestseller is “Homer Simpson meets Anthony Robbins . . . essential reading for anyone whose life has ever hit a roadblock” (Bob Rosner, bestselling author of Working Wounded)æ”   “Both witty and helpful . . . If there is any flaw to this book, it is that Marsh repeatedly makes the reader laugh out loud and want to read paragraphs at length to any nearby willing listener.” —Shelf Awareness  “Marsh’s epiphanies during his hiatus include the realization that he is fat, but more poignantly, that he is an alcoholic . . . The strength of the memoir lies in the intimate and often humorous moments he shares as he reconnects with his wife and four children.” —Publishers Weekly   “An extremely funny and touching account of how someone can use humor and optimism to put adversity into perspective . . . a thoroughly enjoyable read.” —Paul Wilson, author of The Little Book of Calm

  Maverick author Hunter S. Thompson introduced the world to "gonzo journalism" with this cult classic that shot back up the best-seller lists after Thompson's suicide in 2005. No book ever written has more perfectly captured the spirit of the 1960s counterculture. In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior-for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

  Now that I’m a mom, I know the most painful part isn’t getting something giant through your hooha. It’s having a real live child. 
  If you are the kind of mom who shapes your kiddo’s organic quinoa into reproductions of the Mona Lisa, do not read this book. If you stayed up past midnight to create posters for your PTO presidential campaign, do not read this book. If you look down your nose at parents who have Domino’s pizza on speed dial, do not read this book. 
  But if you are the kind of parent who accidentally goes ballistic on your rugrats every morning because they won’t put their shoes on and then you feel super guilty about it all day so you take them to McDonalds for a special treat but really it’s because you opened up your freezer and panicked because you forgot to buy more frozen pizzas, then absolutely read this book. 
  I WANT MY EPIDURAL BACK is a celebration of mediocre parents and how awesome they are and how their kids love them just as much as children with perfect parents. Karen Alpert’s honest but hilarious observations, stories, quips and pictures will have you nodding your head and peeing in your pants. Or on the toilet if you’re smart and read it there.
