What other fun things could come to be? About the Author: Originally from the East Coast, Susan moved to California with her mother and brother when she was five. In the sixth grade, a Arts and Crafts teacher led the assignment to write and illustrate their own story book and read it to the Kindergarten class.

Book Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

What if you could get your hands on one of these?The heartbreaking story of reckless young love and a tricked out time machine that, in the wrong hands, could destroy the universe! "K. A. Bedford does a really good job exploring the societal impact of a huge technology." — Paul Lappen In a world where time machines are cheap and portable, ex-cop Aloysius 'Spider' Webb is eking out a living as a time machine repairman. "Spider is described as “a good man in a bad situation,” which I take to mean a schlemiel who labors to be a mensch." —Chris R. Paige, Book Nook"One of science fiction’s unexpected pleasures in recent years..." —Kirkus ReviewsWinner of the Australian Tin Duck Award."Well-written and fast-paced. Paradox Resolution should appeal to those who enjoy a detective story and the scientific types who like to try and unravel the quantum workings of time travel." —Ronald Hore, CM magazineABOUT THE BOOK:Aloysius "Spider" Webb is a good man in a bad situation.Aloysius "Spider" Webb fixes time machines for a living. He hates his job; he hates his life, and hates time travel even more. He’s a hard working Australian bloke — a good man in a bad situation who is willing to do almost anything to regain his self-respect and the affection of his nearly ex-wife, Molly; a mad sculptress on her way to international fame and fortune.Spider's life and his world are changing. After quitting the Western Australian Police Service, Spider studied to become a time machine repair mechanic, eking out a sparse living fixing broken down machines. But the repair business isn’t what it used to be. Once, time machines were as big as cars; but now they're smaller and compact, portable, and cost too much to get fixed so it's easier for people to simply buy a new one. Times are tough and there is no end in sight.Meanwhile, Spider's new boss at the Time Machines Repaired While-U-Wait franchise needs help: his secretly built, totally illegal, radically overclocked, hotrod time machine has been stolen, and Spider is the right man to get it back before it falls into the wrong hands, or worse inadvertently destroys the entire universe.Spider's journey begins with a simple favor to help his almost ex-wife, Molly, and moves to the icy wastes of the far, far future.Surprise and shock are the only constants in Spider’s life; why should this job be any different?
