Billy is sure he can come up with the right numbers to win the lottery. He knows exactly what he's going to do with the prize. But when he does win, it seems that practically eveyone he knows wants some of the money. All the people around him are acting strange. Will Billy have to split his winnings? What happened to the fun of just playing the game?

After Billy wins $410,000 in the lottery, his friends claim that he owes them a share for helping him play, creating a tangle of lies, memory, and money.

"This pamphlet's assertion that it is possible for the reader to become fabulously wealthy in 30 minutes is based on its author's enthusiasm upon hearing Confucius's wonderful promise, 'All things come to the person who is modest and kind...' and recognizing it as being very close to similar statements by Jesus Christ and the Buddha. If all these sages concur, surely this recipe is worth testing in our own lives..."

Billy must eat 15 worms in 15 days to win his bet with Alan and Joe. But Alan and Joe are out to stop him succeeding - by fair means or foul

“Full of schadenfreude and speculation—and solid, timely history too.” —Kirkus Reviews “This is a portrait of capitalism as white-knuckle risk taking, yielding fruitful discoveries for the fathers, but only sterile speculation for the sons—a story that resonates with today's economic upheaval.” —Publishers Weekly “What's not to enjoy about a book full of monstrous egos, unimaginable sums of money, and the punishment of greed and shortsightedness?” —The Economist Phenomenal reviews and sales greeted the hardcover publication of The Big Rich, New York Times bestselling author Bryan Burrough's spellbinding chronicle of Texas oil. Weaving together the multigenerational sagas of the industry's four wealthiest families, Burrough brings to life the men known in their day as the Big Four: Roy Cullen, H. L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson, all swaggering Texas oil tycoons who owned sprawling ranches and mingled with presidents and Hollywood stars. Seamlessly charting their collective rise and fall, The Big Rich is a hugely entertaining account that only a writer with Burrough's abilities-and Texas upbringing-could have written.

This follow-up to the popular 'How to Eat Fried Worms' is an equally hilarious story of a boy who will stop at nothing to have his trail bike

The autobiography-of-sorts of André Gregory, an iconic figure in American theater and the star of My Dinner with André This is Not My Memoir tells the life story of André Gregory, iconic theatre director, writer, and actor. For the first time, Gregory shares memories from a life lived for art, including stories from the making of My Dinner with André. Taking on the dizzying, wondrous nature of a fever dream, This is Not My Memoir includes fantastic and fantastical stories that take the reader from wartime Paris to golden-age Hollywood, from avant-garde theaters to monasteries in India. Along the way we meet Jerzy Grotowski, Helene Weigel, Gregory Peck, Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, Wallace Shawn, and many other larger-than-life personalities. This is Not My Memoir is a collaboration between Gregory and Todd London who create a portrait of an artist confronting his later years. Here, too, are the reflections of a man who only recently learned how to love. What does it mean to create art in a world that often places little value on the process of creating it? And what does it mean to confront the process of aging when your greatest work of art may well be your own life?
