Book excerpt: Darkly funny, searingly honest short stories from Hans Fallada, author of bestselling Alone in Berlin In these stories, criminals lament how hard it is to scrape a living by breaking and entering; families measure their daily struggles in marks and pfennigs; a convict makes a desperate leap from a moving train; a ring - and with it a marriage - is lost in a basket of potatoes. Here, as in his novels, Fallada is by turns tough, darkly funny, streetwise and effortlessly engaging, writing with acute feeling about ordinary lives shaped by forces larger than themselves: addiction, love, money.

Book excerpt: Here is AFI Kingdom back with another amazing book for you. As usual, AFI Kingdom has again got a lot of content framed precisely in this book to benefit the readers. In this masterpiece, AFI Kingdom has begun with his first experience of cold approach which can help you to visualize a similar situation in your life. AFI Kingdom has brilliantly described about his first ever sexual intimate experience and the lessons AFI learnt in this phase of life. Also, the traumas that came along with it which any youngster would get on his first time. AFI talks about his experience of little interactions and gestures with a grown woman when he was just eleven and this is where most teenagers go confused not knowing how to deal. And, there's much more about what AFI has described and you would definitely like to have a read if you are an adult. It includes the wildest experiences of this life. It also includes a lot of realization and AFI is putting it out so that the readers are aware of the consequences at an early stage. Not killing out the curiosity, this is just a part of the book and there are much more interesting and wild experiences described raw which would change out your narrative. And, definitely help you visualize the darkest sides of fetishes and fantasies. I would advise the fans to read out this book as every individual needs a guide who can talk about reality without hesitation.
