From the Inside Flap
Sometimes the ride through life gets a little bumpy...
My wife smiled hopefully as I chewed my first large bite. "What do you think of the glazed duck with orange stuffing?"
This, I thought, is a test. We are two thousand miles from home, all by ourselves for our first Christmas, and my wife has just spent all afternoon preparing a fancy dish for dinner. I managed a smile. And I have a huge mouthful of orange-flavored duck fat.
"You don't like it."
Chew! Make yourself chew! I couldn't do it.
"You don't like it!"
Careful, Scott, careful. I smiled harder. How do I tell her that this is the greasiest thing I have ever put in my mouth without hurting her feelings?
"Boy, this is interesting," I said, trying not to gag. "I guess now we know why those ducks can float around in freezing water all day without getting cold."
This book isn't about horses--it's about the ride of your life.
These are stories about the challenges you face every day: the job, the kids, the home-improvement projects. But there's more. Scott Weigle's humor and insight connects you with your own past and reminds you of all the little lessons you may have forgotten along the way...lesson that can keep you going when the trail gets rough. As Weigle says in this remarkably enjoyable book:
No matter where your goals are taking you, it all comes down to this: If you want to enjoy life, you have to learn to love the ride."
Hang on tight!

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Loosely based on the Arthurian legend of the Holy Grail and the Fisher King, The Waste Land, which first appeared in 1922, is a landmark work of Modernist poetry. Containing hundreds of allusions and quotations from other works, The Waste Land is marked by a disjointed structure which moves between voices and imagery without a clear delineation for the reader, a hallmark of Modernist literature. Arguably Eliot's most famous work, the theme of the poem, as the title would suggest, is ultimately a dire one, of disillusionment, despair, and death. Also included in this collection is The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock a work which preceded The Waste Land having been first published in 1910. Regarded as the beginning of Eliot's influential period, Prufrock was considered idiosyncratic at first but with time has been recognized as an important shift in poetry from the Romantic era to the Modernist one. The Wasteland and Other Poems, which includes an additional twenty-three poems, collects some of the most pivotal works of the Modernist literary movement, which would establish Eliot as one of the most important poets of the 20th century. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper. Seller Inventory # CIN0967051231VG
