The most critically acclaimed cruise book of all time The full, uncompromising and surprising story of Bianca is revealed.A surprise, whirlwind romance in Romania leads Brian to chase the woman who turned his world upside down. He becomes a cruise ship waiter, an arduous existence that Bianca has born for years. The grueling hours leave them little time together, and he quickly learns that she becomes a different person at sea. With a candid, no-muss style, Bruns shows just how smitten he and Bianca are with one another, though they're not without their jokes and stubborn streaks. Beneath the playful jabs and willful tempers is a force of gravity that binds them, even when the waves get rough. But the longer he remains on the ships, the more he begins to wonder if any couple can transcend the strains of a water-logged existence.

From Midwest Book Review Perhaps the icon of excess, cruise ships carry many strange diversions for those with money to burn. Ship for Brains looks into...the twists and turns of politics that often occur when one lives on a ship and what can be experienced upon it. With a grand dose of humor and a good dose of memoir, Ship for Brains is a fine pick, not to be overlooked. Book of the Year, finalist-Foreword MagazineBronze-London Book FestivalFinalist-New York Book FestivalFinalist-San Francisco Book Festival Returning with his award-winning wit and delightfully candid narrative voice, Brian brings us the first and only expos of art auctioneering on the mighty liners, where the tenet of "what happens at sea, stays at sea" has always been observed - until now. We are transported to the sea as our likable guide vividly shares his misadventures, triumphs, flirtations, and, above all, his amusing and astute insights into human nature. In the Cruise Confidential series Brian David Bruns spills the dirt-or in this case, the dirty water-on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the years he spent working on cruise ships takes readers down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving readers gasping with laughter as they're assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre. From Booklist Although this isn't an expos of cruise lines so much as a lighthearted adventure, readers planning a cruise will glean lots of useful information, and cruise veterans may find themselves looking at their familiar turf in a new, slightly suspicious way. "This man has seen it all " - Deborah Roberts, ABC 20/20 "Bruns' prose ... proves his steady and deliberate writing voice." - Writer's Digest "The real party is going on in the crew's quarters." - USA Today "I found it absolutely hysterical " - Peter Greenberg, Today Show "Part Love Boat, part Mutiny on the Bounty, Cruise Confidential does for cruising what Animal House did for higher education." - New York Times Bestseller J. Maarten Troost "Cruise Confidential is a deliciously addictive read, a blistering kiss-and-tell about the dysfunctional life working on cruise ships." - Doug Lansky, Travel Channel "These hilarious misadventures at sea will shock and delight any buffet-ready cruise traveler." - Jen Leo, author of Sand in my Bra "The funniest travel book I've read in years." - Peter Mandel, author of My Ocean Liner "This is a really entertaining true tale by a guy who struggles through the bizarre world of cruise ship employment. Bruns paints a clear picture of 'how the sausage is made'." - San Francisco Chronicle "I couldn't put it down." - Chicago Sun-Times "Cruise Confidential is a juicy tell-all. The crew deals with the 'sweatshop' conditions by indulging in massive amounts of alcohol and sex." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "Bruns doesn't hold back when it comes to discussing his experience of working on cruise ships." - Thomas Cook Magazine (UK) "Witty and self-deprecating Bruns] has a flair for dialogue, and his book is chock full of wacky characters..." - Blogcritics Magazine "With a grand dose of humor and a good dose of memoir, Ship for Brains is a fine pick, not to be overlooked." - Midwest Book Review

Star Sonnets for Kathleen Curran 1989

Star Sonnets for Kathleen Curran 1989

It was the precise title of the extremely beautiful song 'Superstar' with its emotional sense of absence and love possibly returning sung by Karen Carpenter of 'The Carpenters' that inspired these sonnets written for Kathleen Curran. Like Karen, Kathleen Curran died tragically young. Karen's exquisite voice will itself travel to the stars with Mankind. Karen Carpenter is also by association remembered in these sonnets. In these emotionally formed rather than traditionally formed sonnets Kathleen Curran - in literary metaphor- symbolically explodes as a superstar and then because of its own gravity implodes into a Black Hole of Enigma - meaning here death - in which anything may happen. Knowledge of what happens within black holes is unknown. So within imagination Kathleen and Karen may still exist within an alternative reality. I might add that the first line of each sonnet is based on a line or part of a first line of a sonnet written by William Shakespeare. This is a 2nd edition of "Star Sonnets for Kathleen Curran 1989". There are a limited number of 1st editions still for sale but these do not mention Karen Carpenter like the 2nd edition does.

In Cruise Confidential, Brian David Bruns spills the dirt ? or in this case, the dirty water ? on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the year he spent working for Carnival Cruise Lines takes readers down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving readers gasping with laughter as they’re assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre. Stewards fighting over food. Cutlery allowances and other nonsensical rules. What the crew calls those onboard (no, it’s not ?passengers”). And of course, the sex. An abundance of ready, willing, and able bodies eager for action on a vessel replete with nooks and crannies leads to love in some mighty strange, and seemingly impossible, places. Breezy, entertaining, and informative, Cruise Confidential is essential reading for those planning a cruise or for anyone who just needs a good laugh.

Nearly one-third of all professional baseball players under contract in the United States come from Latin America. Mexico, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Panama produce some of the great players currently performing in the major and minor leagues. But some of the most promising prospects never had the chance to play in America even though they resided only ninety miles off the coast of Florida. For many years, that was the harsh reality for Cuban baseball players.
