99. Curiosity Can Mean Jealousy in Disguise

Synopsis

#1 New York Times Bestseller

With extraordinary access to the West Wing, Michael Wolff reveals what happened behind-the-scenes in the first nine months of the most controversial presidency of our time in Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

Since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, the country―and the world―has witnessed a stormy, outrageous, and absolutely mesmerizing presidential term that reflects the volatility and fierceness of the man elected Commander-in-Chief.

This riveting and explosive account of Trump’s administration provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office, including:
-- What President Trump’s staff really thinks of him
-- What inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama
-- Why FBI director James Comey was really fired
-- Why chief strategist Steve Bannon and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn’t be in the same room
-- Who is really directing the Trump administration’s strategy in the wake of Bannon’s firing
-- What the secret to communicating with Trump is
-- What the Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers

Never before in history has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported and astoundingly fresh, Fire and Fury shows us how and why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion.

“Essential reading.”―Michael D’Antonio, author of Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success, CNN.com

“Not since Harry Potter has a new book caught fire in this way…[Fire and Fury] is indeed a significant achievement, which deserves much of the attention it has received.”The Economist


The people has chosen Mr. Trump as President of United States. Why do they complain so much about how he works? The people trusted him to be their leader, why the fuss?

I think if I were Mr. Trump, I'd suspect my opposing party. I think that the statement about Obama wiretapping him wasn't intended to blame. It's poking Obama, to scare the real culprit by showing the President's power, showing that Trump has Obama on their side.

I don't think that such a powerful government can give out top secret information to outsiders. I might be wrong here, so read the book, or read the papers to prove me wrong.

96. Succumb to Lust, Then to Love

Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Meg Waite Clayton comes a riveting novel based on one of the most volatile and intoxicating real-life love affairs of the twentieth century.

Key West, 1936. Headstrong, accomplished journalist Martha Gellhorn is confident with words but less so with men when she meets disheveled literary titan Ernest Hemingway in a dive bar. Their friendship—forged over writing, talk, and family dinners—flourishes into something undeniable in Madrid while they’re covering the Spanish Civil War.

Martha reveres him. The very married Hemingway is taken with Martha—her beauty, her ambition, and her fearless spirit. And as Hemingway tells her, the most powerful love stories are always set against the fury of war. The risks are so much greater. They’re made for each other.

With their romance unfolding as they travel the globe, Martha establishes herself as one of the world’s foremost war correspondents, and Hemingway begins the novel that will win him the Nobel Prize for Literature. Beautiful Exiles is a stirring story of lovers and rivals, of the breathless attraction to power and fame, and of one woman—ahead of her time—claiming her own identity from the wreckage of love.

There's a difference between love and lust. That's why we have one-night-stand, or friends with benefit. The problem is, when we first meet someone, there'll always be only lust. If lust goes so strong it can last longer, then finally it becomes love because you grow together, and you grow accustomed to each other, and you feel comfortable being near each other.

Now, to create that lust at first sight, only the pretty ones get picked the most. Nobody will pick someone who's unattractive, and disgusting, and ugly. To win a date, you should look pretty, and to lose a date, you should look disappointing.

How about me?
I'm unattractive, disgusting, disappointing person without even trying. So, everybody will feel they get rejected automatically. That's why I have to explain to you this time, I never wanna reject you, Superman...

I always love you with all my heart, Superman
