Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. You have to really want to go to Russia. The briefest of visits involves a lot of paperwork, and if you want to hang around for any length of time, they make you take a leprosy test. For American writer, imperial Russia enthusiast, and veteran expatriate, Jennifer Eremeeva, this is just one of many observations about Russia, where she has lived for the last twenty years with HRH, her Handsome Russian Husband (occasionally a.k.a. Horrible Russian Husband), and their growing daughter. Luckily for Eremeeva, she didn't need to make up most of the events that inspired this, her first work of fiction. When she (and her alter-ego heroine, coincidentally named Jennifer) quit her job to write full time, she became enthralled with the dingy gray building across the courtyard from her apartment, where, it turned out, Vladimir Lenin's embalmed corpse was routinely freshened up and preserved. The result is Lenin Lives Next Door: Marriage, Martinis, and Mayhem in Moscow. Based on Eremeeva's two decades in Russia, Lenin Lives Next Door knits together vignettes of cross-cultural and expatriate life with sharp observation, colorful historical background, and engaging humor. Each thematic chapter is an anecdotal exploration of an aspect of life in today's Russia, told with the help of a recurring cast of eccentric Russian and expat characters. Lenin Lives Next Door introduces readers to Russians in their everyday milieu: at their dachas, in three-day traffic jams, and celebrating their 300-plus public and professional holidays with mayonnaise-based salads. Lenin Lives Next Door is an inside look at Russia by a recovering Russophile.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. It felt likethe whole world was shaking, inside me and all around me. It felt like bliss-perfect peace. This light was pouring through me, and as it was pouring through me, it was teaching me things. So begins The Reluctant Mystic: Autobiography of an Awakening, the story of an extraordinary spiritual experience-one moment in a massage therapy office that forever changes the trajectory of the author's life.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In An Entrepreneurial Journey Through Life: Learning, Loving, and Laughing, Ralph Z. Bud Sorenson, former president of Babson College, shares his own experiences to illustrate an important truth: being entrepreneurial goes far beyond starting new businesses--though that is certainly a part of it. In fact, the entrepreneurial mindset applies to all aspects of life, from choosing a career to finding a place to live to making the most out of your retirement. Sorenson takes us on a life journey full of twists and turns, roads less traveled, exhilarating victories, and stinging defeats. He has applied the strong, simple midwestern values he learned from family, friends, and schooling to life in the eastern and western United States and exotic international locations. If you want an entrepreneurial education without going to school for it, this is the book for you.…
