BOOKS-ON-TAPE, INC.

From Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes a witty, charming, and hilariously relatable debut novel about a struggling young actress trying to get ahead--and keep it together--in New York City. It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing “important” work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club. Her roommates--her best friend Jane, and Dan, an aspiring sci-fi writer--are supportive, yet Franny knows a two-person fan club doesn’t exactly count as success. Everyone tells her she needs a backup plan, and though she can almost picture moving back home and settling down with her perfectly nice ex-boyfriend, she’s not ready to give up on her goal of having a career like her idols Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep. Not just yet. But while she dreams of filling their shoes, in the meantime, she’d happily settle for a speaking part in almost anything—and finding a hair product combination that works. Everything is riding on the upcoming showcase for her acting class, where she’ll finally have a chance to perform for people who could actually hire her. And she can’t let herself be distracted by James Franklin, a notorious flirt and the most successful actor in her class, even though he’s suddenly started paying attention. Meanwhile, her bank account is rapidly dwindling, her father wants her to come home, and her agent doesn’t return her calls. But for some reason, she keeps believing that she just might get what she came for. Someday, Someday, Maybe is a story about hopes and dreams, being young in a city, and wanting something deeply, madly, desperately. It’s about finding love, finding yourself, and perhaps most difficult of all in New York City, finding an acting job.Includes a PDF* of Filofax(R) datebook entries.*Adobe(R) Reader(R) required. PC and Mac compatible.Advance praise for Someday, Someday, Maybe “Sweet, funny, and full of heart . . . a dazzling debut.”—Emily Giffin, New York Times bestselling author of Something Borrowed and Where We Belong “Warm and funny, charming and smart.”—Diane Keaton, New York Times bestselling author of Then Again “Graham deftly captures what it’s like to be young, ambitious, and hopeful in New York City.”—Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author of Sex and the City and The Carrie Diaries “Fresh and funny and full of zingers, Lauren Graham’s charming writing style instantly drew me in, but it was her relatable characters (complete with doodled date-book entries!), irresistible romantic twists, and delicious plot that kept me turning the pages until well past my bedtime.”—Meg Cabot, bestselling author of the Princess Diaries and Heather Wells Mystery series

Walden

WALDEN grew from a journal Thoreau kept while he lived in a simple hut by Walden Pond from July 1845 to September 1847. His journal not only describes the seasons and natural inhabitants at Walden, but also the illusions permeating civilized life, and the conflict between the ideals of living and the methods of making a living. WALDEN contains an intimate, beautiful tribute to nature, and Thoreau's treatment of the concepts of self-reliance and common sense is a classic expression of a philosophy that is uniquely American.

Life on the Mississippi

LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI was first published when Mark Twain was nearly 50 years old. He wrote it originally as a series of articles titled "Old Times on the Mississippi." It is fresh with enthusiasm for his early life on the river. On hearing it today who can fail to respond to its message of freedom, independent existence and expanding horizons?

Action & Adventure

Oliver Twist

One of Dickens' most popular and moving novels, OLIVER TWIST deals with a world Dickens himself knew only too well -- a world of debtors, prisons, alms houses and poverty. Oliver is born in a workhouse. Apprenticed to an undertaker, he runs away to London where the "Artful Dodger," Jack Dawkins, takes the starving boy into a den of thieves. Among this motley crew, Oliver meets the sinister Bill Sikes, his pitiful and tragic Nancy and the master criminal, Fagin.

Charles, Dickens

Part One Of Two Parts It is not surprising that Charles Dickens thought of DAVID COPPERFIELD as his "favorite child": the book is Dickens' most autobiographical novel. The author drew many of the story's unique characters from his family and acquaintances. Numerous adventures in David's life are also products of Dickens' youthful experiences. Dickens lived a life much like Copperfield.  He came from a large family submerged in poverty and won his way up by great energy and effort. Thus the story has power and compassion and lives today as it did when it emerged fresh from the pen of its author.
