Rap songs are famous for their double entendres, clever turns of phrase, and general ingenuity, but that doesn't mean things always make sense the first time around. Enter Understand Rap, a very funny pop-cultural reference book based on the website of the same name, which precisely explains the confusing lyrics and terms used in rap songs using language that even the most un-hip person can understand. The juxtaposition of a dry, academic tone with hip-hop terminology results in a book that's as entertaining as it is informative.

Prolific screenwriter and genre novelist Richard Matheson has long maintained an interest in all matters relating to parapsychology, telepathy, ESP and other paranormal activity. His brief and elegantly printed new volume amounts to a lightly fictionalized history as well as quick, evocative episodes of paranormal activity from Greek antiquity all the way through renowned American psychic Edgar Cayce.Most of the episodes in this book depict the famous seers, mediums and performers of the nineteenth-century, whose feats Matheson clearly admires. Margaret and Kate Fox, aged ten and seven, in 1848 convinced their parents and many other Americans that they were in touch with ghosts in a haunted house. (Matheson notes that the adult Margaret recanted, explaining how she herself produced the ghosts' mysterious rapping noises: he believes the recantation fake, arranged by the sisters' enemies.)

Upon its hardcover publication, renowned author Philip Pullman's The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ provoked heated debates and stirred a frenzy of controversy throughout the clerical and literary worlds alike with its bold retelling of the life of Jesus wkkk.net this remarkable piece of fiction, famously atheistic author Philip Pullman challenges the events of the Gospels and puts forward his own compelling and plausible version of the life of Jesus. Written with unstinting authority, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ is a pithy, erudite, subtle, and powerful book by a beloved author, a text to be read and reread, studied and unpacked, much like the Good Book itself.

Originally published in 1965, The Painted Bird established Jerzy Kosinski as a major literary figure. Kosinski's story follows a dark-haired, olive-skinned boy, abandoned by his parents during World War II, as he wanders alone from one village to another, sometimes hounded and tortured, only rarely sheltered and cared for. Through the juxtaposition of adolescence and the most brutal of adult experiences, Kosinski sums up a Bosch-like world of harrowing excess where senseless violence and untempered hatred are the norm. Through sparse prose and vivid imagery, Kosinski's novel is a story of mythic proportion, even more relevant to today's society than it was upon its original publication.

In Now You See It, the prolific master of suspense and screenwriting (I Am Legend; The Incredible Shrinking Man) delivers a knock-out tale the likes of which have not been seen since Henry Clouzot's devlilish thriller Diabolique.

我亲耳听到一件十分传奇的事情：但昭义夫妇曾经去了一趟西藏。他们很虔诚地在寺庙出入，到了布达拉宫时，在一个大殿里，有一尊菩萨圣像前围了好多人。高红霞跟一位学生家长见这么多人围着，便好奇地过去看个究竟。这时候，有人劝她们也试试运气。所谓运气，就是人们不断地往菩萨身上抛哈达。如果将哈达抛起来能挂到菩萨的肩头或手臂上，就是预示着会有好运降临的。可是，哈达太轻了，往上抛的人都抛不高，离佛像手臂还差一大截呢！轮到高红霞时，只见她一仰头，将手中的哈达往上一抛，那哈达就像被一股气浪顶着直往上空飞飘而去，一直飘升到了菩萨的头上方，竟然挂在了菩萨面部的那颗痣上。这一下子令在场所有人惊呆了！随后，人们为高红霞欢呼起来：肯定要有鸿运降临了！

这本于1885年出版的《后伦敦谈》可以被视为早期“后末世小说”的经典范例：在突然降临的灾难之后，伦敦人口骤减，乡间复归自然，少量的幸存者开始过上了一种准中世纪般的生活。作者在第一部分《堕为蛮人》和第二部分《荒野英伦》当中，分别对灾难过后的自然景观和多年之后的自然历险进行了迷人而精细的描绘。虽然其中所述毁灭后的雾都仍被兵燹、民不聊生，但它却启发出其他科幻作家无限的创作灵感和激情。著名长篇政治幻想小说《乌有乡消息》的作者，也是理查德的好友莫里斯，就曾在读完本书后写信给理查德，信中写道，“荒唐的希望萦绕在我的心中久久不绝。”
