    Fun of Getting Thin - Samuel G Blythe
    Aug 29 2026
    In this short, amusing book, subtitled "How to Be Thin and Reduce The Waist Line," Samuel G. Blythe explains how he was able to lose, and keep off, 50 pounds, without resorting to fad diets or giving up the foods he loved. Over a hundred years later, his common-sense advice about food, drink and exercise still makes sense today. ***NOTE: It should be noted that there is language within this book that was commonplace during the time this book was written that is often considered offensive today.*** (Christine Lehman)

    Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich - Stephen Leacock
    Aug 26 2026
    "Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich" by Stephen Leacock is a humorous exploration of the lives of the upper crust in a major American metropolis, following the success of his earlier work, "Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town." This collection of interlocking stories provides a satirical look at wealth, privilege, and social dynamics, making it a timeless reflection on human nature and societal norms. Originally published in 1914, its sharp wit and keen observations about the idle rich resonate even today, reminding us of the absurdities that often accompany affluence. Leacock's ability to blend humor with insightful commentary ensures that these adventures remain relevant and entertaining for modern audiences.
