The Navel Diaries: How I Lost My Belly Button and Found Myself offers the reader a poignant and humorous view of one woman's journey into maturity. After decades of inhabiting a body with a stunning flat belly and a perfect navel, things changed for the author. The perfect navel was ruined by pneumonia, altered to bulging status by the hacking cough. For some this might not be worth noting, but for the author it was a profound life event. She, like so many others, thought she would be forever young, never planned to feel or be old. It was that moment, that first glimpse of the new, permanent out-ey, that jolted the author into the shocking awareness of the one-way street of life's progression. It was the first signal that youth is fleeting, that it will be replaced by a continuous string of events, all of them verifying that the aging process is well under way. The wit of the book is infused with generational memories and family lore that dovetail into the present. The vivid narratives take the reader along on the journey: from the segregated swimming pool of childhood to the possibility of a new house in a 55+ retirement community, from the oiled, bronzed skin of college to the dermatologist's office, from the days of beehives to the driver's license that falsely depicts a few gray hairs as "Hair: Gray". There are new physical and emotional perspectives every day, and as with any diary, they are faithfully chronicled. There are creaking joints and drooping breasts, an ancient bladder and quirky digestion, questions about usefulness and purpose, commentary about maintaining a youthful stride through parking lots and airports and life. The author investigates the beauty culture from the vantage point of maturity and challenges the cultural stereotypes about aging. Speculative questions include: Must we burden our children with the same old attitudes about getting older? Must we protect them from the actuality of aging? Must we leave our daughters to discover for themselves the resilience of unwanted chin whiskers? The metaphors utilized veer along the continuum from thoughtful to ridiculous to indignant. Sometimes the tale is humorous, sometimes it touches the heart. The perspective is refreshing; the attitude is always positive and passionate. This diary encourages the author and the reader to come to terms with the age that's coming.

"In the vast literature of love, The Seducer's Diary is an intricate curiosity--a feverishly intellectual attempt to reconstruct an erotic failure as a pedagogic success, a wound masked as a boast," observes John Updike in his foreword to Søren Kierkegaard's narrative. This work, a chapter from Kierkegaard's first major volume, Either/Or, springs from his relationship with his fiancée, Regine Olsen. Kierkegaard fell in love with the young woman, ten years his junior, proposed to her, but then broke off their engagement a year later. This event affected Kierkegaard profoundly. Olsen became a muse for him, and a flood of volumes resulted. His attempt to set right, in writing, what he feels was a mistake in his relationship with Olsen taught him the secret of "indirect communication." The Seducer's Diary, then, becomes Kierkegaard's attempt to portray himself as a scoundrel and thus make their break easier for her. Matters of marriage, the ethical versus the aesthetic, dread, and, increasingly, the severities of Christianity are pondered by Kierkegaard in this intense work.

In this rich and deeply personal account of life in the highlands of Nepal, Geoff Childs chronicles the daily existence of a range of people, from venerated lamas to humble householders. Offering insights into the complex dynamics of the ethnically Tibetan enclave of Nubri, Childs provides a vivid and compelling portrait of the ebb and flow of life and death, of communal harmony and discord, and of personal conflicts and social resolutions. Part ethnography, part travelogue, and part biography, Tibetan Diary is a one-of-a-kind book that conveys the tangled intricacies of a Tibetan society. Childs's immensely readable and informative narrative incorporates contemporary observations as well as vignettes culled from first-person testaments including oral histories and autobiographies. Examining the tensions between cultural ideals and individual aspirations, he explores certain junctures in the course of life: how the desire to attain religious knowledge or to secure a caretaker in old age contrasts with social expectations and familial obligation, for example. The result is a vivid and unparalleled view of the quest for both spiritual meaning and mundane survival that typifies life in an unpredictable Himalayan environment.
