A Guide For Growing Old With StyleGot a computerCan't use it yet, but it looksGood on the tableOccasionally a rare book comes along that approaches the matter of aging with sympathy, understanding, and sobriety. This book is not one of them. On the contrary, Pimp My Walker: The Official Book of Old Age Haiku by Mike Slosberg accepts aging with the solemnity of slipping on a banana peel. As the subtitle indicates, the author has taken the age-old art form of haiku and turned it into an art form for old age - or at least aging. Each of the 73 poems is a gem of wit, wisdom, and cantankerousness. Witness his take on life's little pleasures:I can rememberWhen sex was better than foodNow vice is versaMike maintains that old age really sucks, and one has to be philosophical and poetic to survive. Humor is the only defense - with the exception, perhaps, of copious amounts of surgery. Humor is the alchemy that can magically turn tragedy into comedy. Pimp My Walker is a celebration of the cardinal aspects of growing old, softened only with Mike's hilariously appropriate illustrations. Think of it as an owner's manual for aging with humor, whether you are this or that side of 40 or are simply slipping to the far side of 80. It will keep you youthful. It is good for the digestion and low in cholesterol.Mike Slosberg is a self-described OLD novelist, playwright, and cartoonist. His previous books include the novels The August Strangers and The Hitler Error. Mike writes haiku instead of doing crosswords, putting boats in bottles, and lamenting his age.

What happens when a couple desperately wants a baby but things don't go exactly as planned? They can always adopt, right? That overwhelming and elemental desire-to have a child- leads Tuck and Ellen Handler down a path that at first appears to be clearly marked. But the consequences they encounter quickly turn deadly. A BABY TO DIE FOR follows Tuck Handler's unyielding determination to expose the sordid side of the adoption trade- from a ruthless Network of money-driven black market baby brokers, to underground slave auctions in the Middle East. After reading Slosberg's gripping page-turner you will never again view the idealistic and hopeful process of adoption in quite the same light.
