Warning: Don't Believe the Hype! All the poet called Sleepy wants to do is spit his verses, smoke chiba, and stay off the COP's radar—all of which becomes impossible once he encounters a professional protestor known as (120 Degrees of) Knowledge Allah. They soon find themselves on the wrong side of local authorities and have to elude the powers that be. When young heiress Sophine Jefferson's father is murdered, the careful life she'd been constructing for herself tumbles around her. She's quickly drawn into a web of intrigue, politics and airships, joining with Sleepy and Knowledge Allah in a fight for their freedom. Chased from one end of a retro-fitted Indianapolis to the other, they encounter outlaws, the occasional circus, possibly a medium, and more outlaws. They find themselves in a battle much larger than they imagined: a battle for control of the country and the soul of their people. The revolution will not be televised!

Governments want to be the pimp tzar. That is, they want to be the pimp of all hoes.Governments decide which consensual acts are legal. In doing so, governments, rather than women, decide which men get the girls.With various laws, governments arrange that women can only pick welfare parasites. Those, in turn, vote for bigger and bigger governmentTired of paying tax? “Ah but it’s for the children,” liberal says. “Yea why can’t their own parent support those children? Oh well, it’s not like they choose to be poor. Their parents can’t afford them. They are less fortunate. So we need to tax the rich to help them,” says most liberals further.Is it really the case? Do the poor do not have choice? Surprisingly they are correct. What the liberal do not tell you is that the poor do not have choice because government overrides most of their choice. The conservative are even guiltier on this than the liberal.“If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand,” says Milton Friedman. Well, government doesn’t control Sahara Desert. Government controls our reproductive success.Governments want to be the pimp tzar.

In doing so, governments, rather than women, decide which men get the girls.With various laws, governments arrange that women often can only pick welfare parasites. Those, in turn, vote for bigger and bigger government. Other choices become highly impractical due to various laws.Meanwhile, normal hard working people are viciously taxed. Hence, majestic welfare parasites can breed and breed without having to worry about the costs.Hard working diligent people are meanwhile being exterminated. In many countries, doctors are forced to be slaves in public hospitals with salary way lower than the market price.In many places, women are even forced to get married. Many kind of consensual sexual relationship outside governments’ approval is illegal. Only those approved by those in power get laid.Any criticisms against violation of this freedom are silenced under irrelevant pretexts, such as the idea that those giving hot women choices are misogynists.

From a bestselling Italian author comes a sharply observed new mystery set in the seedy underworld of 1970s Milan Giorgio Faletti's first thriller, I Kill, took Europe by storm, selling over five million copies. The Corriere della Sera, Italy's leading newspaper, crowned him "the greatest Italian writer." In 2010, with the explosive publication of A Pimp's Notes, Faletti won international celebrity as a writer of world-class, tightly wound, psychologically nuanced thrillers. It's 1978. Italy has just been shocked by the kidnapping of the politician Aldo Moro by the left-leaning terrorist group the Red Brigades. In Milan, the upper class continues to amuse itself in luxury restaurants, underground clubs, and cabarets. This is Bravo's milieu. Enigmatic and cynical, Bravo makes his living catering to the tastes, fantasies, and fetishes of the wealthy and depraved. When the mysterious Carla enters his life, what begins as a clandestine romance quickly becomes a nightmare that will transform Bravo into a man wanted by the police, by organized crime, and even by the Red Brigades. As the web around him tightens, Bravo will be forced to confront the violence of the times in which he lives as well as his own connections to the political and criminal networks that control contemporary Italy.
