  22. Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me
    Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me
    By Ben Karlin
    Relationships end. And in most cases, even the most callow among us learn something from the experience, whether it be major life lessons ("If you lie, you will get caught"), simple truths ("Flowers work"), or something wholly unique ("Watch out for the high strung brother in the military"). This anthology, which includes contributions from an impressive list of comedic and creative minds, including Stephen Colbert, Andy Richter, Bob Odenkirk, Dan Savage (Savage Love), and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), is about that salient something men take away from failed relationships. Not a touchy-feely, self-help book, this is packed with smart, funny, and insightful stories from men you probably thought never got dumped or if they did, would never admit it.

    The Geography of Bliss

    Beginner's Greek
    By James Collins
    When Peter Russell finally meets the woman of his dreams he falls as madly in love as you can on a flight from New York to LA. Her name is Holly. She's achingly pretty with strawberry-blonde hair, and reads Thomas Mann for pleasure. She gives Peter her phone number on a page of The Magic Mountain, but in his room that night Peter finds the page is inexplicably, impossibly, enragingly...gone. So begins the immensely entertaining story of Peter and his unrequited love for his best friend's girl; of Charlotte and her less-than-perfect marriage to a man in love with someone else; of Jonathan and his wicked and fateful debauchery; and of Holly, the impetus for it all. Along the way, there's the evil boss, the desirable temptress, miscommunications, misrepresentations, fiendish behavior, letters gone astray, and ultimately, an ending in which every character gets his due.

    Gods Behaving Badly
    By Marie Phillips
    Being a Greek god is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London townhouse-and none too happy about it. And they've had to get day jobs: Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a TV psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator, Dionysus as a DJ. Even more disturbingly, their powers are waning, and even turning mortals into trees-a favorite pastime of Apollo's-is sapping their vital reserves of strength. Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed-but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?
