Publisher: Accent Press
Publication Date: 2007-11-07


Reviews :

    Move over Julie Burchill 'cos there's a much bigger bitch in town. The book that eats the Size Zero debate for breakfast and coughs it back up with a side of comedy carbs, features the ordered ramblings of outsized and outspoken newspaper columnist Hannah Jones. Her diary will find resonance with all women, whatever their shape or size, who've felt pressure to weigh out their self-esteem along with their chips. It's a sharp, witty and heartfelt study on living life in the fat - oops, sorry - fast lane to self-acceptance. "Diary of a Diet" is about Hannah Jones' ongoing struggle to commit to get fit, stick to a sensible eating plan or think, once and for all, that she's simply fabulous just the way she is right now. ...

Corporation Freak
Authors: Heywood Gould.
Kindle Edition, pages
Publisher: Tolmitch Press
Publication Date: 2008-02-20


Reviews :

    This is a witty, wise and brilliantly funny true record of what happens when a hopeful young revolutionary invades the corporate jungle. The pay was generous the work easy, and his colleagues decent at the Advanced Systems Development Division of IBM, America's technocratic giant. So why did Heywood Gould leave? And why do so many of the country's brightest and most creative young people reject corporate enticements? Was the corporation freak really an undercover provocateur working from within to undermine the system, or was he genuinely interested in the subtle distinctions of office size and executive comportment? When the comfortable crew cut ensconced within IBM's maternal walls confronts the hairy individualist-hustler at the water cooler, on coffee breaks, at top- level closed circuit TV meetings, and around the sexy secretary's desk, verbal bombs explode into one of the zaniest and most enjoyable reading experiences of today.
