It Really Is That Complicated
Chas Rawlings's It Really Is That Complicated is an often personal, indeed intimate, and sometimes hilarious ride from start to finish through the byways and mazes of men's and women's relationships. He guides through the fits and starts-some of the latter false starts-that characterize the dating game, especially with modern-day dating services. He lays out what he calls the horrors of marriage in the degeneration of romance and eroticism into the battle of the sexes in more mundane but often deal-breaking power struggles over control, money, and property. He elaborates on Tolstoy's notion that even this supposedly most sanctified of unions is a form of prostitution-women dispensing sex in ...
Sea Stories
Includes three stories where characters are tested by dramatic events 'that show in the light of day the inner worth of a man, the edge of his temper, and the fibre of his stuff; that reveal the quality of his resistance and the secret stuff of his pretences, not only to others but also to himself'.

The Yearling
An American classic—and Pulitzer Prize–winning story—that shows the ultimate bond between child and pet. No novel better epitomizes the love between a child and a pet than The Yearling. Young Jody adopts an orphaned fawn he calls Flag and makes it a part of his family and his best friend. But life in the Florida backwoods is harsh, and so, as his family fights off wolves, bears, and even alligators, and faces failure in their tenuous subsistence farming, Jody must finally part with his dear animal friend. There has been a film and even a musical based on this moving story, a fine work of great American literature.
Sitting Down With Granddaddy
An epic saga of generational strengths and weaknesses, James Rawlings, a young aspiring attorney, allows Rev. Charles Winters to blackmail him into marrying his treacherous, self-absorbed daughter, Lillian, unwittingly opening the door to the sin of pride, renouncing the truthful, firm lessons of wisdom that had formerly been his constant companion and guide. Unfortunately, pride always goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall—for there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end of that way is death.
