Charlie Fish

The Man Who Married Himself and Other Stories by Charlie Fish will make you laugh, cry, tremble with fear, but above all – think. Stories that address life’s big questions: How can I be a good person? What is freedom? Is this penny trying to kill me?\nThe definitive collection of the very best Charlie Fish stories, wonderfully illustrated by Yvette Gilbert. Includes resources for teachers.\nSelected reviews (from East of the Web):\nBaggio's Story I think this story changed me a little bit. Maybe a lot. Solid! Fantastic! Dramatic! True! Charlie Fish, you have done it again. Thank you. Need to reread this story and I will. Many times. I expect to get more and more out of it every time I do. This is probably THE BEST short story I've ever read in my life. It really taught me a valuable lesson on the materialistic things in this world. i kinda didn't read...cuz it was tOO long.. :P LOL :D 
Cora Oh My God! I love your story. I'm a writer myself and it takes a lot to impress me. I'm a picky reader, but your story drew me in and held me tight! This is by far one of the best short stories I have ever read. From the beginning to the end, I was on the edge of my seat. Great work Charlie. I can't wait to see what's next. Fantastic job. It was mental coffee. It held my attention and slowly pulled me in as the story progressed. I appreciate the way it flirted with my imagination. This is an amazing story. I've recently been using Fish's stories as part of my unit plans for high schoolers... Great author! This guy can really put a lot into just a few pages. i hate this story...................... if you don't no how to write don't write............. 
The Man Who Married Himself This Charlie Fish guy needs to be watched he is seriously talented. Hilarious. A real breath of fresh air. There is a lightness, a flow to Charlie's writing that seems to create intelligent humor out of subject matter that commonly would be deemed very over-the-top. A great chop to the groin. I think I'll share this one around a bit. I found myself chuckling openly all the way through it at some priceless lines... Funny in the extreme, I enjoyed it immensely. I loved this story! I had to stop myself from laughing several times. I would recommend this story and I will use it with my high school students I teach. well ya u see this story wasnt all that good and trust me i know good storie i read alot of books cuz its are assignment im locked up in the salt lake vally D.T well thats me opinion 
Death by Scrabble I love this story and so do my students. I teach it in my high school classes every year, and every year someone uses it on their state exam. Splendid!!! So outrageous it kept me laughing. One of my favorite stories. This author's writing style reminds me of Sydney Sheldon's - get-to-the-point-and-keep-moving, which keeps the reader's interest. I really loved this story. It had a feel of O. Henry or better still, Alfred Hitchcock about it. Excellent story. Reminded me very much of my wife and I. Therefore horribly frightening. This was the GREATEST thing I have ever seen! My heart almost stopped beating with the suspense! Charlie Fish is an absolute GOD, I want to marry him. I WANT MORE!!!!!!!

The Man Who Married Himself: and Other Stories

Humor & Satire

This book is a potted history of video games, telling all the roller coaster stories of this fascinating young industry that’s now twice as big globally than the film and music industries combined. Each chapter explores the history of video games through a different lens, giving a uniquely well-rounded overview.\nPacked with pictures and stats, this book is for video gamers nostalgic for the good old days of gaming, and young gamers curious about how it all began. If you’ve ever enjoyed a video game, or you just want to see what all the fuss is about, this book is for you.\nThere are stories about the experimental games of the 1950s and 1960s; the advent of home gaming in the 1970s; the explosion – and implosion – of arcade gaming in the 1980s; the console wars of the 1990s; the growth of online and mobile games in the 2000s; and we get right up to date with the 2010s, including such cultural phenomena as twitch.tv, the Gamergate scandal, and Fortnite.\nBut rather than telling the whole story from beginning to end, each chapter covers the history of video games from a different angle: platforms and technology, people and personalities, companies and capitalism, gender and representation, culture, community, and finally the games themselves.
