From the co-author of the best-selling, Running Made Easy, with a foreword by running legend Kathrine Switzer. Lisa Jackson is a surprising cheerleader for the joys of running. Formerly a committed fitness-phobe, she became a marathon runner at 31, & ran her first 56-mile ultramarathon aged 41. & unlike many runners, Lisa`s not afraid to finish last
- in fact, she`s done so in 20 of the 90-plus marathons she`s completed so far. But this isn`t just Lisa`s story, it`s also that of the extraordinary people she`s met along the way
- tutu-clad fun-runners, octogenarians, 250-mile ultrarunners
- whose tales of loss & laughter are sure to inspire you just as much as they`ve inspired her. This book is for anyone who longs to experience the sense of connection & achievement that running has to offer, whether you`re a nervous novice or a seasoned marathoner dreaming of doing an ultra. An account of the triumph of tenacity over a lack of talent, Your Pace or Mine? is proof that running really isn`t about the time you do, but the time you have!

It was at their `torture chamber`, a hut in the pinewoods nearby, that Varg Veum, Private Investigator, first encountered the gang`s pathetic but deadly ferocity. Eight-year-old Roar`s bicycle had been stolen & not an adult in sight dared retrieve it. But a preliminary brush with such youthful violence was as nothing compared to what awaited Veum when he got to know Roar`s blue-eyed, shy yet sensuous mother, Wenche Andresen, & her estranged husb&, Jonas. Veum`s attempts to break up Joker & his pack of young thugs by enlisting the help of the local youth club leader proved a dead end. But not so dead as the man who lay prone with a knife in his back on the floor of Andresen`s flat. Yours Until Death is an unbearably tense novel of revenge & murder about marriage, childhood, bereavement & the destructive force of passion. First published in Norwegian in 1979, it was described by the critic Nils Nordberg as `one of the finest, most serious, most ambitious books in post-war Norwegian crime writing`. ...

” Precise & wryly hilarious... Gauld`s both a literature nerd & a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as R. Sikoryak, Michael Kupperman, & Kate Beaton.”--NPR, Best Books of 2013A new collection from the ” Guardian” and” New York Times Magazine” cartoonist The ” New York Times Magazine” cartoonist Tom Gauld follows up his widely praised graphic novel ” Goliath” with ” You`re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack, ” a collection of cartoons made for ” The Guardian.” Over the past eight years, Gauld has produced a weekly cartoon for the Saturday Review section of Britain`s best-regarded newspaper. Only a handful of comics from this huge & hilarious body of work have ever been printed in North America--and these have been available exclusively within the pages of the prestigious ” Believer” magazine. ” You”`”re All Just Jealous of My Jetpack” distills perfectly Gauld`s dark humor, impeccable timing, & distinctive style. Arrests by the fiction police & imaginary towns designed by Tom Waits intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about human behavior & whimsical imaginings of the future. Again & again, Gauld reaffirms his position as a first-rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of both literary & cartoon history. ...
