Funny Life Bok
<p>Laugh along with Michael McIntyre as he lifts the curtain on his life in his long-awaited autobiography. </p><p>Michael's first book ended with his big break at the 2006 Royal Variety Performance. Waking up the next morning in the tiny rented flat he shared with his wife Kitty and their one-year-old son, he was beyond excited about the new glamorous world of show business. Unfortunately, he was also clueless...</p><p>In A Funny Life, Michael honestly and hilariously shares the highs and the lows of his rise to the top and desperate attempts to stay there. It's all here, from his disastrous panel show appearances to his hit TV shows, from mistakenly thinking he'd be a good chat show host and talent judge, to finding fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams and becoming the biggest-selling comedian in the world. Along the way he opens his man drawer, narrowly avoids disaster when his trousers fall down in front of three policemen and learns the hard way why he should always listen to his wife. </p><p>Michael has had a silly life, a stressful life, sometimes a moving and touching life, but always A Funny Life.</p>

Självdestruktiv Dotter Bok
Jag är mamma till E som vi kan kalla henne. Hon är mitt allt och jag vill nu berätta om den fina flicka, som i de tidiga tonåren började att må dåligt och skära sig. Jag vill berätta vår story om hur det är att leva i en familj, där någon är självdestruktiv och om dotterns kamp för att bli frisk.<br/><br/> Cajsa Warg är född 1966 och uppvuxen i Västerbotten. Hon är sambo och har två vuxna tvillingdöttrar samt ett barnbarn. Cajsa är en stor djurvän och har fyra egna hundar.<br/> Boken kom till genom en blogg som hon startade när hennes dotter som endast är nämnd som E försökte att ta sitt liv. Att skriva blev en tillflykt och bearbetning från den sorg och oro som Cajsa ständigt har levt i, som mamma till en självdestruktiv dotter.

Lukas Betting - Så Spelade Jag Bort 20 Miljoner På Ett År Bok
<p>Lukas har allt. Fru, barn, nybyggt hus och ett chefsjobb han trivs med. </p><p>När han blir sjukskriven efter en olycka drar rastlösheten och spelreklamen in honom i en värld han inte upplevt förut. Hans grå vardag får nytt ljus i spänningen och i början vinner han stort. VIP-managers från spelbolagen älskar honom, de blir snabbt hans vänner och de belönar honom med allt från iPhones till bonusar och lyxiga resor. Men pengarna tar snabbt slut och när Lukas tagit alla Blanco- och sms-lån som finns börjar han låna pengar från familj och vänner. Han säger att han gör investeringar men i själva verket spelar han bort alltihop hemifrån soffan.</p><p>Ett år efter första spelet har Lukas omsatt 200 miljoner kronor hos spelbolagen och är skyldig 30 personer som står honom nära över 15 miljoner kronor. Snaran dras åt och snart förstår långivarna runt om honom att något inte är som det ska. Telefonen är aldrig tyst, alla vill ha sina pengar tillbaka. Lukas vill inte ge upp, bara rätt satsning går in så kommer allt att lösa sig!</p><p>Det här är en sann historia om hur en människa utan spelbakgrund kan dras in i ett så pass grovt spelmissbruk att han utan att blinka satsar 420 000 på att det ska bli mer än ett mål i en match. Det är också en historia om psykisk ohälsa, om manipulativa spelbolag och om vad som händer när man inte vågar berätta sanningen. Idag lever Lukas ensam och på existensminimum med en skuld hos Kronofogden på 20 miljoner kronor. Den här boken är ett försök till att betala tillbaka, alla Lukas intäkter går till de drabbade. Det är också en bok skriven i förhoppning om att någon därute ska kunna sluta spela och våga berätta innan det är för sent.</p>

Nattskräck Bok
<p>Skogsföretagare skriver om nattskräck. Skogsentreprenören och travprofilen Per-Örjan Svelander från Bäckboda utanför Lövånger fick mycket positiv respons för sin debutbok Ostkupan. En lättläst, gripande och berörande roman, skrev exempelvis DN:s legendariske affärsjournalist Sven-Ivan Sundqvist. Nu kommer uppföljaren Nattskräck där författaren berättar vidare om hur det är att leva med den ovanliga och plågsamma sömnstörningen som kallas just nattskräck. I boken berättar 64-åringen också om hur en thrillerliknande serie av övergrepp, utförda inom skogsnäringen i Norrland, på nytt kom att trigga i gång nattskräcken. När jag ensam satte mig upp mot de stora, mäktiga aktörerna inom branschen blev det startskottet på en resa in i det svenska systemets mörka rum. Jag hamnade i ostkupan. 27 år senare möts jag av en värld som stöpts om. Ta livet utan att döda är den nya inriktningen , säger den jämtlandsuppväxte Per-Örjan Svelander. Självutlämnande och med mörk humor berättar han i Nattskräck bland annat om hur han med en stor kniv tryckt mot halsen tvingas skriva under viktiga affärsdokument, hur fölet som är hans ögonsten dränks i bäcken som en varning och om hur hans protester mot övergreppen leder till att han i polisbil förs till psyket där han får välja mellan att bli kallad narkoman eller dåre. Nattskräck ges ut av Bokförlaget K&R. Per-Örjan Svelander kan kontaktas på telefon 072-711 83 32</p><p></p>

Sonny Capone Bok
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">I am Sonny. A shadow of a dynasty. I was one of the most awkward beings on this earth. Not like my father. A man in the spirit of Niccolò Machiavelli prepared to do everything to form his empire. Al Capone. His heritage was a nasty defamation of my family. Reminds of a quote by Shakespeare "The evil that men do lives after them". It did not crush me, love to my father transcended the evil standing, who can avoid the view of time. My father is regarded by the man in the world as the cleverest, cruel criminal ever without any evidence, a myth created by the entertainment industry in Hollywood, Cal, press, literature, TV, others to generate money. For me he is the most lovable father, considerate person. I am his only stunted, partly deaf son Albert Francis Brown, born Albert Francis Capone, called Sonny, spent my whole life in the wind of that shameful opinion. My mother was the beautiful, gentle Mae Capone born Coughlin, a Madonna. My moral support. A frequent church visitor. Why would it be me to meet this destiny? If the <a href="http://sv.bab.la/lexikon/engelsk-svensk/hereditary-sin"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">hereditary sin</u></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;"> has a face in this world it would be mine. Here come some episodes from my life, family, from my country, the time I lived. It is not a drama of an ancient nature but has some similarities. </u></u></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">I opened my innocent eyes the 4<sup>th</sup> of December 1918 in New York, a few weeks after the Cease Fire of The First World War at 11:00 the 11 of November, came into effect, <i>the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month</i>". My father was 18 years old when USA decided to participate in the war April 1917, he was not enrolled. Even if he asserts that he had learned to shoot with a machine gun in the trench in the war in Europe. He never visited Europe. The Great War was a cruel sad story. 120 000 American soldiers were killed among them 40 000 in fever, one of my father`s six brothers participated, decorated. In the trench American soldiers on the Allies with Italian background fought against Italian soldiers on the Central Power, some of them with roots from the same villages, sometimes from the same families. USA participated in the Great War 18 months, about 2 million people were killed in, <i>"the war to end all wars". </i> No one in our family talked about the Great War.</u></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">My mother told me as a child that the Italians had a historic mission in the world even if she had her roots from Ireland. Our genes had a heritage from the Romans. On an old map she showed me the Empire of the Romans the foremost of the history of the world with border in west; the Atlantic Ocean, north; river Rhine and Danube, east; Euphrates; south the deserts in Asia and Africa. She told me about Christopher Columbus, <i>Admiral of the Ocean Sea , </i>from Genoa, Italy, the first man to reach the coast of America in Bahamas 12<sup>th </sup>of October 1492 with his 58 ft long carrack Santa Maria. </u></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">The family of my father came from the village of Castellammare di Stabia about 15 miles (24 km) from Naples in the south of Italy. Together with 80 000 other Italians they decided to move to USA in the end of the 19<sup>th </sup>century. They went with the vessel Werra. My family passed the gates of Ellis Island, <i>L´Isola delle Lacrime, The Island of Tears , </i>together with other Italian families most of them with a hope to go back <i>Birds of Passage</i> with savings big enough to buy a farm, start a shop or just to live on the money earned in USA. My father´s family rented a small apartment in 1893 at 95 Navy Street in Brooklyn, the poor dock district. The family grows. My grandfather Gabriel worked on a barber shop at 29 Park Avenue, did not earn much money but enough to feed his family. He followed what happened in the blocks through the costumers. His wife Theresa was occupied with the family activities, her interest was focus on what happened between the walls in the apartment, the children. My grandfather was satisfied with the situation in USA, his expectations when he went to USA seemed to come true. Everything followed the way he wished, the children were at school, played with the other children in the block. My father, Al, their first child in the family born in USA, 1899. When my father was eleven the family moved to a better situated part of the city at 28 Garfield Place in Park Slope, the ambition the home of my grandfather should be a solid platform to introduce his kids in positions in the American society, get a job in any of the businesses in the neighborhood, avoid getting involved in the crime he heard about in the barber shop. After the Great War the eldest son never came back to New York, took the name Richard James Hart, lost the contact with the family, my grandfather missed him, worried about his other sons, my father Alphonse got two scars on his chin after a fight as a teenager, a bad symbol, a signal that he was close to criminal connections. <i></i></u></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">My father and my mother married on New Year s Eve in 1918 after permission from their parents because they were too young to marry according to the law. I was almost one month old when the marriage took place in front of the beautiful altar at <span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">Mary's Star of the Sea Church, New York</u></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;">. I was baptized in the same church. After the wedding my parents moved to Amityville<i> </i>on Long Island. A beautiful small town where my mother took me to the harbor to look at the ships. Amityville was the center for smuggling of boost Rum Row <i>,</i> grow rapidly after the decision of Prohibition in 1920, my father had a small cargo ship called Alpaco to get the products offered by the cargo vessels from other countries along the coast, I have a vague memory of visiting his cargo Alpaco a few times, playing with the sailors, trying to shift the helm. My mother and I used to walk along the beach where my father according to the legend one night gave his soul to the devil in benefit being an affluent person.</u></u></u></p>

Charlie's Good Tonight Bok
<p>Featuring forewords from bandmates Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, this is the <strong>official and fully authorised</strong> biography of the world's most revered and celebrated drummer.</p> <p> <strong>Mid-1962. The newly formed Rolling Stones are on the hunt for a permanent drummer. Their sights are set on Charlie Watts, a jazz musician already well-known within London's rhythm and blues clubs. Fortunately for future Stones fans the world over, they persuade him to take on the job. </strong> </p> <p>Once installed at the drum seat, Charlie would not miss a beat for the rest of his life. He was there throughout the swinging sixties as the Stones reached superstardom and for the well-documented debauchery of the 1970s, typified by the iconic album <em>Exile on Main St</em>. Battling his own demons by the eighties, Charlie emerged unscathed, cementing his reputation as the thoughtful, cultured but no less compelling counterpoint to his more raucous bandmates.</p> <p>For almost 60 years - through all the band bust-ups, bereavements and changes in personnel both on stage and off - Charlie remained the rock at the heart of the Rolling Stones. At the same time, he was the antithesis of the rock-star archetype, an intensely private man who valued his family above all else.</p> <p>Drawing on new interviews with his family, friends and former bandmates - including <strong>Mick Jagger</strong> and <strong>Keith Richards</strong> - <em>Charlie's Good Tonight</em> is the remarkable life story of <strong>Charlie Watts</strong>: official, authorised and as it's never been told before.</p>
