第2章 Epigraph

It's hard to meet people in a big city, let alone any city. And after living in LA for several years as a single lady, Audrey Shulman turned to baking. But rather than eating her cakes solo over the sink, she brought them to bars, luring guys with a heady dose of butter and wkkk.net in Bars with Cake recounts Audrey's year spent baking, bar-hopping, and offering slices of cake to men in the hope of finding her boyfriend (or, at the very least, a date). With 35 inventive recipes based on her interactions with guys from all walks of life, from a Sticky Maple Kiss Cake to a Bitter Chocolate Dump Cake, this charming book pairs each cake with a short essay and tongue-in-cheek lesson about picking up boys in bars.

She has almost no rights by law, and the Ku Klux Klan breeds fear and hatred in even Hanalee's oldest friendships. Plus, her father, Hank Denney, died a year ago, hit by a drunk-driving teenager. Now her father's killer is out of jail and back in town, and he claims that Hanalee's father wasn't killed by the accident at all but, instead, was poisoned by the doctor who looked after him—who happens to be Hanalee's new stepfather. ?The only way for Hanalee to get the answers she needs is to ask Hank himself, a "haint" wandering the roads at night.

东吴基业的继承者与开拓者孙权，于赤壁之战大败曹操、白衣渡江之战生擒关羽、夷陵之战力挫刘备，这样显赫的战绩足以力托起他“英雄”的称号。然而，他的晚年似乎表现出了异乎寻常的昏庸，《三国志》作者陈寿也毫不客气地将东吴日后覆家亡国的责任追究到开国之君孙权身上。那么，孙权晚年之举究竟是圣明还是昏庸？他究竟做了些什么？这些事情又对东吴这艘航船的航向发生了怎样的影响呢？辛弃疾诗云：“天下英雄谁敌手，曹刘。生子当如孙仲谋。”作为东吴基业的继承者、鼎定者与开拓者，孙权一生确实无愧于英雄之名，陈寿在《三国志·吴书·吴主传》中称赞他“屈身忍辱，任才尚计，有勾践之奇，英人之杰矣”，这样的称誉并不过分。
