Excerpt: Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975) is an American professional baseball player of Dominican parentage. Nicknamed "A-Rod", he currently plays third base for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. He previously played shortstop for the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez is considered one of the best all-around baseball players of all time. He is the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939. In December 2007, Rodriguez and the Yankees agreed to a 10-year, $275 million contract. This contract was the richest contract in baseball history (breaking his previous record of $252 million). In February 2009, after previously denying use of performance-enhancing drugs, including during a 2007 interview with Katie Couric on 60 Minutes, Rodriguez admitted to using steroids, saying he used them from 2001 to 2003 due to what he called "an enormous amount of pressure" to perform. Rodriguez was born in the Washington Heights section of New York City to a Dominican family. When he was four, Rodriguez and his parents moved to the Dominican Republic, then to Miami, Florida. Rodriguez's favorite baseball players when he was growing up were Keith Hernandez, Dale Murphy, and Cal Ripken, and his favorite team was the ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=212472 ... Read more

Product Description
Roberto Benigni's "Life Is Beautiful" aside, milking the Holocaustfor laughsis a dangerous game. Even the blackest, most therapeutic humor turns queasy in the shadow of such monstrous evil; it's like dancing on a mass grave. So "Jakob the Liar"'s got a hard road to hoe--its eponymous schlemiel plays out hissemi-farcical adventures in the mean streets of the Warsaw Ghetto circa 1944.The skies are always leaden over Jakob's hometown, reflecting the comicclimate that pervades this mostly unfortunate adaptation of Jurek Becker'sautobiographical book (firstfilmed in 1975). \nJakob Heym (Robin Williams in overbearingly earnest mode) gets tangled in a string of self-perpetuating lies about a hidden radio, supposedlybroadcasting news that the victorious Red Army is nearing. His desperateattempts to convince a clutch of insistently idiosyncratic friends(clich?©s to a man: Liev Schreiber, Bob Balaban, Michael Jeter, Alan Arkin) andobligatory Nazi bad guys that the radio doesn't exist are complicated by the fact that he's stashed a fugitive kid (a dead ringer--sorry!--for Anne Frank)in his attic--and by abundant evidence that lies are the best medicine forthe ghetto's skyrocketing suicide rate. Copious unfunny misunderstandings andpratfalls eventuate in this Holocaust rendition of "Fiddler on the Roof" (you expectWilliams to break into song: "If I were a "funny" man....").Ultimately, "Jakobthe Liar" loses its way for good in some very ugly violence and a rather nastyfinal twist: the film's ending might just be rubbing our noses in anotherfeel-good lie.

Kanishiwa,

Even if you didn't pick me to design your cover, I would have still loved your book. I have never seen anything like it. You are serious. You are daring. You are humorous. You are poetic. You are informative. You are mean at times too and you don't care because it was from the heart. You have balls!

Arigato,
Yuurei ... Read more
