Book recommendations- genre: Comedy & Humour.

A comedic novel is often a work of fiction in which the author attempts to entertain the reader, sometimes subtly and as part of a well-crafted story, and sometimes above all else. It’s true that comedy fiction is literary work whose primary goal is to make people laugh, but this isn’t always as evident as it appears.

Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir: Inspired by True Events by Brent Spiner & Jeanne Darst. 

Set in 1991, just as Star Trek: The Next Generation has catapulted the cast to global fame, young and impressionable actor Brent Spiner receives a mysterious package and a series of disturbing letters that send him on a terrifying and bizarre journey that enlists the help of Paramount Security, the LAPD, and even the FBI to put an end to the threat that threatens his life and career.

This is the fictitious autobiography that takes readers inside the life of Brent Spiner and offers an astonishing storey about the trappings of popularity and the anxiety he feels, with a cast of characters ranging from Patrick Stewart to Levar Burton to Trek founder Gene Roddenberry, to others wholly created.

Brent Spiner’s spectacular and humorous novel is an intimate look at a celebrity’s little off-kilter connection with his followers. This noir comedy could just be the one if the Coen Brothers were to develop a Star Trek film addressing the complexities of fan fanaticism and sci-fi.

How To Train Your Dad by Gary Paulsen. 

Carl, a 12-year-old, is fed up with his father’s obsessive pursuit of an off-the-grid lifestyle. His father may be clever, but dumpster diving for food, rummaging through trash for usable items, and dressing entirely in clothing purchased at garage sales is becoming tiresome. Carl adopts the principles set forth in a randomly discovered puppy-training pamphlet to “retrain” his father’s mindset… a crackpot experiment that produces some very unintentional results. Increasingly concerned about what his classmates and a certain girl at his new school might think of his circumstances—and encouraged by his off-kilter best friend—Carl adopts the principles set forth in a randomly discovered puppy-training pamphlet to “retrain” his father’s mindset… a crackpot

This is a feisty and humorous family novel.

Everyone You Hate is Going to Die: And Other Comforting Thoughts on Family, Friends, Sex, Love, and More Things That Ruin Your Life by Daniel Sloss.

A subversive and hilarious deep-dive into one of today’s hottest young comedians’ favourite subject: relationships.

At the same time, Daniel Sloss’ humour engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, soothes, and has audiences screaming with laughter. Sloss has two Netflix comedy specials: DARK, a brilliant, laugh-out-loud meditation on our relationship with death; and Jigsaw, which rips apart the ideas of love, romantic relationships, and marriage–and, according to Sloss, has caused 160 divorces and 95,000 break-ups (he has the tweets to prove it). Daniel Sloss Live: X, his HBO spectacular on male toxicity, is a stunning 85 minutes.Now, in his first book, he picks up where Jigsaw and his other specials left off, tackling every kind of relationship imaginable–with one’s country (Daniel’s is Scotland), with America, with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you, with parents, best friends (male and female), not-best friends, children, and siblings. Every connection gets the humorous, cruel (but always incisive) Sloss treatment in Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, as he shows why all of our relationships are fragile, absurd, and awful–but, just maybe, vital and meaningful as well.

Greek mythology retellings.

If you ever one of those kids, that were totally obsessed with Greek mythology in middle school, and you still need a little bit more of it. Here are some of the Greek mythology retellings to read!

A Thousand Ships – Natalie Haynes.

These are the stories of the women whose lives, loves, and rivalries were forever altered by this long and tragic war, from the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all.

A Thousand Ships is a deeply filled woman’s epic that places women, girls, and goddesses at the centre of the Western world’s greatest storey ever written.

Circe – Madeline Miller.

A daughter is born at the home of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans. Circe, on the other hand, is an odd kid, neither strong like her father nor fiercely alluring like her mother. She seeks company among mortals and realises that she possesses power – witchcraft power, which may turn opponents into monsters and even the gods themselves.Zeus exiles her to a barren island, where she hones her occult skills, tames wild monsters, and crosses paths with a variety of people. However, a woman who stands alone faces peril, and Circe unknowingly attracts the fury of both men and gods. Circe must collect all of her might to safeguard what she cares about most.

The Silence of the Girls – Pat Barker.

The ancient city of Troy has been under siege for a decade by the formidable Greek army, which is still fighting a terrible battle over a kidnapped lady named Helen. Another woman, Briseis, observes and waits for the war’s fate in the Greek camp. She was the queen of a neighbouring state until Achilles, Greece’s finest warrior, attacked her city and killed her husband and brothers. Briseis becomes Achilles’ concubine and a battle prize, and she must swiftly adjust to a completely new existence as one of the numerous captured women who serve the Greek army.When Agamemnon, the Greek armies’ harsh political commander, desires Briseis for himself, she finds herself stranded between the two most powerful Greeks. In protest, Achilles refuses to fight, and the Greeks begin to lose ground to their Trojan adversaries. Briseis finds herself in an unprecedented position, able to observe the two men leading the Greek army in what will become their final confrontation, deciding the fate not only of Briseis’ people but also of the ancient world at large. Keenly observant and coolly unflinching about the daily horrors of war, Briseis finds herself in an unprecedented position, able to observe the two men leading the Greek army in what will become their final confrontation, deciding the fate not only of Briseis’ people.

Pandora’s Jar – Natalie Haynes.

The Greek myths are one of the contemporary world’s most fundamental cultural foundations.

Epic poetry and Greek tragedy, from Homer to Virgil, from Aeschylus to Sophocles and Euripides, are replete with tales of gods and monsters. Even today, a plethora of novels, plays, and films are based on stories that were first recounted about three thousand years ago. Modern Greek mythtellers, on the other hand, have largely been men who have showed little interest in relaying women’s stories. Now, in Pandora’s Jar, Natalie Haynes retells Greek creation tales with female protagonists on an equal footing with their male counterparts. As a result, we have a vivid and compelling storey.

The Penelopiad – Margaret Atwood.

Penelope—wife of Odysseus and niece of the lovely Helen of Troy—is presented as the ultimate devoted wife in Homer’s Odyssey, her narrative serving as a timeless lesson. When Odysseus travels out to fight in the Trojan War following the kidnapping of Helen, Penelope manages to retain the kingdom of Ithaca, raise her wayward son, and keep over a hundred suitors at bay all at the same time, despite scandalous accusations. Odysseus kills her suitors and twelve of her maids when he returns home after surviving difficulties, battling monsters, and sleeping with deities.Margaret Atwood has given the old narrative a brilliant contemporary twist by recounting it to Penelope and her twelve hung maids, asking: “What led to the girls’ execution, and what was Penelope actually up to?” The narrative becomes as smart and sympathetic as it is terrifying, and as immensely fascinating as it is terrible in Atwood’s sparkling, lighthearted retelling. She gives Penelope fresh life and reality—and sets out to solve an old mystery—with humour and zest, drawing on the story-telling and lyrical talent for which she is known.

5 feminist books to read.

A Vindication Of The Rights Of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft.

Mary Wollstonecraft’s feminist essay A Vindication of the Rights of Women was published in 1792 as a book-length feminist essay. A Vindication of Women’s Rights campaigned for female equality, especially in the field of education. Wollstonecraft criticised the cultivation of conventional feminine qualities like as submission and service, arguing that women who were not well-educated could not be excellent mothers, spouses, or household administrators. She said that women were supposed to devote too much time to maintaining their delicate look and soft attitude, forsaking brains for beauty and transforming themselves into flower-like playthings for males.

Wollstonecraft addressed themes such as the need of educating women equally, treating women with respect, and giving women with the appropriate training to be excellent spouses and mothers, as well as educated companions for their husbands, in thirteen chapters.Women spend many of their initial years of life accumulating a scattering of achievements, while body and mental strength are sacrificed to libertine ideas of beauty… Can they run a family with prudence or look after the babies they bring into the world?How could women educate, raise children, and maintain a household if they were only concerned with their personal looks and minor achievements such as speaking French fluently, playing the piano, and sketching, Wollstonecraft argued? Such achievements made a woman appealing to a man as a source of entertainment, but not as an equal partner.Although Wollstonecraft recognised that raising a family would be the primary responsibility of many women at the time, she insisted that a husband and wife whose relationship was founded on reason and equality would parent happier and more well-rounded children than families governed by strict discipline and parental inequality. To that aim, she suggested a national education system in which boys and girls would be taught together and all classes would have access to education. Wollstonecraft warned against false sensibility, while writing during the time of Romanticism, a movement renowned for emphasising sensibility/feeling above sense/rational reasoning.

A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf.

Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own is a long essay. The article, which was first published on October 24, 1929, was based on a series of lectures she gave in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, two women’s institutions at Cambridge University. Despite the fact that this long essay uses a fictitious narrator and narrative to investigate women as authors and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the Women and Fiction lecture series, and therefore the essay, is deemed nonfiction. The essay is regarded as a feminist text, and it is notable for its argument for a literal and figurative place for women authors in a patriarchal literary world.

Bad Feminist – Roxane Gay.

How could women educate, raise children, and maintain a household if they were only concerned with their personal looks and minor achievements such as speaking French fluently, playing the piano, and sketching, Wollstonecraft argued? Such achievements made a woman appealing to a man as a source of entertainment, but not as an equal partner.

Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde

Audre Lorde’s literary and philosophical personae are brought to life in this collection of fifteen articles published between 1976 and 1984. These articles delve into and illustrate Lorde’s intellectual growth, as well as her long-standing worries about how to increase empowerment among minority women authors and the critical need to define difference—difference in terms of sex, ethnicity, and economic position. Sister Outsider is a title taken from her poetry book The Black Unicorn (1978). Sister Outsider’s poetry and articles emphasise Lorde’s recurring subject of continuity, notably the geographical and intellectual relationship.

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

In the Republic of Gilead, Offred is a Handmaid. She is permitted to leave the Commander and his wife’s house once a day to stroll to the local grocery market, where the signs are now images rather than words because women are no longer allowed to read. Because, in an era of diminishing births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable, she must lie on her back once a month and hope that the Commander gets her pregnant. Offred recalls the years when she lived with and made love to her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; and when she had a career, her own money, and knowledge. But that’s all gone now.

How Water Disappeared on Mars? NASA’s Perseverance Rover Reveals History of Water on Red Planet

NASA’s Diligence meanderer, right now investigating Jezero Pit on Mars, has shared new experiences which uncover that the Red planet had supported collaborations with water, which vanished later.

Determination wanderer was dispatched on July 30 last year and showed up at the red planet on February 18 following a 203-day venture navigating 472 million kilometers. The meanderer investigated the floor of Jezero Hole, which was once a lake and a shriveled stream delta at the pit’s edge

In light of the nitty gritty pictures sent by the six-wheeler meanderer on Mars, another review by the mission researchers has now distributed first logical outcomes about the Jezero Hole delta in the diary Science.

The discoveries depend on itemized imaging of long, steep slants called ledges, or scarps in the delta, which shaped from silt gathering at the mouth of an antiquated stream that some time in the past took care of the cavity’s lake.

The pictures uncover that billions of years prior, when Mars had an air sufficiently thick to help water streaming across its surface, Jezero’s fan-molded waterway delta experienced late-stage flooding occasions that conveyed rocks and trash into it from the high countries outside the cavity, said the review.

A Pool of Changing Profundities

Right off the bat throughout the entire existence of the Jezero Cavity’s previous lake, its levels are thought to have been sufficiently high to peak the pit’s eastern edge, where orbital symbolism shows the remaining parts of an outpouring waterway channel. The new paper. portraying the size of Jezero’s lake fluctuating significantly after some time, uncovers that its water level was rising and falling by several yards before the waterway ultimately vanished inside and out.

While it’s obscure if these swings in the water level came about because of flooding or more progressive natural changes, the science still up in the air that they happened later in the Jezero delta’s set of experiences, when lake levels were no less than 330 feet (100 meters) beneath its most elevated level.

Persistence’s ‘Kodiak’ Second

In its antiquated past, Kodiak was at the southern edge of the delta, which would have been an unblemished geologic design at that point. Presently, when the pictures were taken, the scarps were toward the northwest of the wanderer and around 1.2 miles (2.2 kilometers) away. Southwest of the meanderer, and at about a similar distance, lies another conspicuous stone outcrop the group calls “Kodiak.”

Before Diligence’s appearance, Kodiak had been imaged distinctly from circle.
