Whether venturing into a blood-spattered farm in Texas, down a lonely mountain road in Alabama, or into the deceptively sunny Ohio suburbs, acclaimed mystery writer Craig Rice lends her hard-boiled style and a wicked irony to this gallery of real-life murders. A saintly middle-aged widow bludgeoned to death in her New Jersey home; the headless torsos of two women found floating in the Lake of the Ozarks; a New Year’s fire in Pennsylvania set to cover the traces of a more ghastly crime; a traveling evangelist on a divine mission blown to bits in Berkeley....

In Surrender, it’s Bono who picks up the pen, writing for the first time about his remarkable life and those he has shared it with. In his unique voice, Bono takes us from his early days growing up in Dublin, including the sudden loss of his mother when he was 14, to U2’s unlikely journey to become one of the world’s most influential rock bands, to his more than 20 years of activism dedicated to the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty.

Not all love is the same, which is one of the most peculiar truths in life. Your love is as unique as the individual you feel it for. I think that’s one of the greatest paradoxes we will live through. It seems to me, there is little choice in how big it is, or how hard it hits. There’s no telling what it will do to you when you enter the arena, and that is why it can be a force we sometimes fight; because it has felt like a battle we’ve lost before.

Glem Nietzsche, glem Marx, glem Stauning og Mao og Che Guevara! Min skæbne blev beseglet den 4. juni 1964 i K.B. Hallen. The Beatles spillede, jeg var 14 år, og indtil da ville jeg gerne være læge. Glem det! Jeg sad så tæt på Lennon, at jeg kunne stemme hans guitar! Ungdomsoprøret i 1967 deltog jeg ikke i.Jeg havde ikke noget at gøre oprør imod. Jeg gjorde, hvad der passede mig i forvejen, og samfundsomstyrtning ragede mig en papand (næsten et Lennon-citat).I 60-erne var der ikke meget forståelse for, at man nok kunne leve af at spille det der åndssvage pop-musik.

"Stemmen. Det første, han mødte, var hendes stemme. Og det første, han tænkte, var: det er ikke hendes rigtige stemme, nu og her, i hendes lejlighed, Eastside, New york, en halvlys eftermiddag.

How can I be nearing middle age when 26 feels like yesterday? After the craziness of my 20s and hard work of my 30s, what’s next? Who am I now that youth is behind me? These were the questions Lise Carlaw and Sarah Wills asked themselves as they entered a milestone decade—their 40s. And they’re not alone. The second phase of life can seem daunting. But it’s so much more too. There is power in knowing who you are, ditching ‘nice’ for what’s important and arriving at the stage in your life when you decide rather than ‘slide’.
