HOUSE CALLS:
How We Can All Heal the World One Visit at a Time
HOUSE CALLS: How We Can All Heal the World One Visit at a Time

 A unique medical doctor and professional clown, Patch has a bedside manner that is often as hilarious as it is compassionate. Patch has traveled far and wide to bring laughter, hope, and healing to thousands of patients around the world. His unconventional style caught the attention of Universal Pictures, which produced the film "Patch Adams" based on Patch's life and stars Robin Williams.

The hilarious and poignant cartoons in HOUSECALLS (created just for Patch) are cleverly dispensed by the nationally syndicated cartoonist Jerry Van Amerongen, originator of "The Neighborhood" and "Ballard Street".

Two Guys Read the Obituaries
This is the book that tells us why piano players outlive drummers; who the last living flying monkey from the film “The Wizard of Oz” was; and reveals where we go after we die. It also may just be the funniest book ever written about death.

Each of the two authors, Steve Chandler and Terrence Hill, combed the obituary pages every day for a calendar year. They wrote about the Reaper's usual harvest—the famous, the infamous, and the fascinating. As in Two Guys Read Moby-Dick, their first joint project, they refused to be corralled by format and wound up writing about . . . well, basically whatever their minds bumped into. The collision is always interesting and often irreverent.

These two professional writers, who have been friends since childhood, took up the challenge to be the first two people ever to read Moby-Dick from cover to cover. The result was the critically-acclaimed, popular book: Two Guys Read Moby-Dick. Now comes the sequel—the alarmingly funny and profound: Two Guys Read the Obituaries.

TWO GUYS READ MOBY-DICK

by Stephen Chandler and Terrence N. Hill

Musings on Melville’s Whale and Other Strange Topics

In 1960, two high school friends were assigned to read, as part of their English class, the Herman Melville novel Moby-Dick. Neither one of them read it. Four decades later, plagued by feelings of guilt at never having read "The Great American Novel," the two friends grab for belated gusto. They vow to go in search again of the big fish and this time actually read Moby-Dick rather than just passing the test on it. Over the six months of their reading odyssey, the authors wrote a series of letters and e-mails chronicling their experience and encouraging each other's progress. This body of correspondence is now a book. Actually, the reading of Moby-Dick is just a platform. And while it is the primary substance of the book, the writers do not worry themselves much about staying within subject matter boundaries.  TWO GUYS READ MOBY-DICK will have you laughing from start to finish, and pondering life’s many mysteries, of course!
