More Essays on Tokyo, from Michael Pronko--Very Highly Rated, and FREE.
UPDATE/ADDENDUM: Michael Pronko's website (http://www.michaelpronko.com/motions...says-on-tokyo/) offers the free ebook, also (http://www.michaelpronko.com/homepage/#newsletter). However, it is a zip file which contains the ePub and PDF, as well as the mobi (the Amazon Kindle format). Pronko states that the download there will be available free through May 22, I don't know if that holds true for Amazon or not.
I'm assuming that the publisher of this tome, Raked Gravel Press, is a self-pub. So it has to go on this thread. Frankly, essays leave me, well, somnolent, if not comatose. So I don't like to post them. But you can't swim against the tide--the 35 reviews and/or ratings of this book are very high. On top of that, it's free. Motions and Moments: More Essays on Tokyo. By Michael Pronko. Rated 4.6 stars, but from only 19 reviews, at Amazon at the present moment; rated 4.44, but from only 16 ratings at the present moment, at GoodReads. Print list price $10.99; digital list price $0.99; Kindle price now $0.00. Raked Gravel Press, publisher. 290 pages. https://www.amazon.com/Motions-Momen.../dp/B019IGFBWS. Book Description Motions and Moments is the third book by Michael Pronko on the fluid feel and vibrant confusions of Tokyo life. These 42 new essays burrow into the unique intensities that suffuse the city and ponder what they mean to its millions of inhabitants. Based on Pronko’s 18 years living, teaching and writing in Tokyo, these essays on how Tokyoites work, dress, commute, eat and sleep are steeped in insights into the city’s odd structures, intricate pleasures and engaging undertow. Included are essays on living to size and loving the crowd, on Tokyo’s dizzying uncertainties and daily satisfactions, and on the 2011 earthquake. As in his first two books, this collection captures the ceaseless flow and passing flashes of life in biggest city in the world with gentle humor and rich detail.

Book about Evangelicalism, from Perspective of Person Who Was Part of It. FREE Now.
The Evangelical Experience: Understanding One of America's Largest Religious Movements from the Inside. By Anthony Coleman. Rated 4.3 stars, from 34 reviews at Amazon at the present moment. Print list price $14.99; digital list price $9.99; Kindle price now $0.00. Self-published. 153 pages. https://www.amazon.com/Evangelical-E.../dp/B018IIM4RW.
Book Description Believers are light. Unbelievers are darkness. Real, complex, unique people, often people that the believer cares about deeply, have to be put into one of these two categories. Clearly, due to the fact that there are genuinely kind souls of other faiths or non-faith, the believer is eventually going to run into individuals who strain these categories of thought. Often these relationships can be the first 'crack' in the Evangelical framework of faith." In The Evangelical Experience, Anthony Coleman gives the reader an inside look at the Evangelical movement in America. Having been a part of the faith during his formative and early adult years, Coleman shares his personal journey into, and out of, Evangelicalism, as well as observations on how accepting the Church's doctrine affects the believer in diverse ways. Coleman concludes by wondering aloud what life and faith look like after leaving conservative Christianity, and shares his thoughts on a tentative way forward. Evangelicals will find much they relate to, non-Evangelicals will gain a better understanding of the movement, and former Evangelicals will find a companion on their journey. |

Occasionally promotional prices of books that I have posted books have ended shortly after I have posted them. I always regret that. But most of the time I just don't have access to information letting me know of the imminent increase in price. I know that most of you think that I would have to be a powerful insider in the new book publishing business (ha), and would have access to information like that, but that just isn't true.
The converse (I think that that is the correct word--it has been soooo long since I took the logic course in college) is true with this post. I have learned of a promotion that is coming up for tomorrow, May 29. The Kindle mobi of Weight Loss Workout Plan: 97 POWERFUL Fat-Blasting Exercises, by Linda Westwood, is scheduled to drop to $0.00 for May 29. It is currently $3.99. So . . . . if you're interested in acquiring this book, but you are reading this prior to May 29, go back to the book's product page at Amazon on May 29 and you should be able to get the ebook free. The book is self-published. At least some other ebooks by Linda Westwood are, too. But everything that she writes seems to be highly or very highly rated. This book is rated 4.8 stars, from 22 reviews at the present moment at Amazon. In case I haven't made this point clearly enough: the deal will be good for only May 29.

I don't have much patience with books that are hard to read. The non-fiction authors of years ago often wrote in a way that was very hard for the modern reader to stay with. To be the age that it is, this book, however, is easy to read. It is, in fact, engaging, having that "I don't want to put it down" quality to it. If you have an interest in the subject, I encourage you to buy this book or download it from one of what will probably be many websites that offer it free.
