Jonetta længes efter balance – den balance hun føler, når hun svømmer i dammen, eller når hun tænder for vandet i sin udebruser og lader det lunkne vande skylle ned over sig. Hun længes efter roen, når hun sidder med et krydsord med radioen tændt i baggrunden. Det enkle liv, hvor morgenkaffen kan tage den tid, den tager.Alt dette har hun i sin sommerhytte, men Ragnar er der også. Jonettas voksne og arbejdsløse søn, der bor hjemme og stadig rejser på ferie med hende. Som tager det bedste soveværelse, bestemmer, hvad de skal se i fjernsynet, svarer med enstavelsesord, hvis han da overhovedet svarer, og som efterlader sig onanistive t-shirts og muggent sengetøj, som hans mor må tage sig af. Hvad blev der af hendes kære, lille dreng? Og hvordan skal det lykkes Jonetta at nå ind til denne fremmede, indelukkede mand, som er hendes søn? Og ønsker hun det overhovedet? I løbet af et par ferieuger tvinger dramatiske begivenheder alt det undertrykte op til overfladen. Og spørgsmålet er: Hvornår er det nok?Anne B. Ragde skildrer indsigtsfuldt, humoristisk, urovækkende og dybt alvorligt forholdet mellem forældre og børn.

Danske bandeord af Tue Stengaard er verdens første danske bandeordsleksikon.Man kunne også have skrevet Danmarks første leksikon over bandeord, men det lyder ikke lige så storslået. Og det ER storslået. Bogen er den første officielle og seriøse oversigt over disse tabubelagte vendinger, vi alle slynger omkring os, men aldrig rigtig tænker over. Eller officiel er den ikke - så kommer der nok nogen efter forfatteren, hvis han påstår det. Men seriøs er den.Til dels. Bogen tager i hvert fald udgangspunkt i fakta, for virkeligheden er nu engang sjovere end fantasien. Og det er fedt, for så kan vi både more os og blive klogere samtidig.

I bogen Livets finurligheder - En hverdag i klummer præsenterer forfatter og klummeskribent Vibeke Henriksen et lille udvalg af de ugentlige klummer, hun gennem årerne har skrevet til Kolding Netavis. Fælles for klummerne er, at de alle har lidt en underfundig historie på hjerte, og teksterne rummer flere centrale temaer, men med lidt pudsig skævhed. Vibeke Henriksen formår med sin unikke stemme at tage læserne med på en rejse gennem de små, men betydningsfulde øjeblikke i det daglige liv. Hver klumme rummer en blanding af humor, eftertænksomhed og en skarp iagttagelsesevne, der gør det muligt for os at se verden fra en ny vinkel. Gennem hendes skriverier bliver hverdagens finurligheder ikke blot underholdende, men også en kilde til refleksion over de ting, vi ofte overser. I 'Livets finurligheder - En hverdag i klummer' inviteres vi til at grine, tænke og genkende os selv i de fantastiske historier, hun deler.

A Confession or My Confession, is a classic Leo Tolstoy book and a short work on the subject of melancholia, philosophy and religion. It was written in 1879 to 1880, when Tolstoy was in his early fifties.The book is a brief autobiographical story of the author's struggle with a mid-life existential crisis. It describes his search for the answer to the ultimate philosophical question: "If God does not exist, since death is inevitable, what is the meaning of life?." Without the answer to this, for him, life had become "impossible".The story begins with the Eastern fable of the dragon in the well. A man is chased by a beast into a well, at the bottom of which is a dragon. The man clings to a branch that is being gnawed on by two mice (one black, one white, representing night and day and the relentless march of time). The man is able to lick two drops of honey (representing Tolstoy's love of his family and his writing), but because death is inevitable, he no longer finds the honey sweet.Tolstoy goes on to describe four possible attitudes towards this dilemma. The first is ignorance. If one is oblivious to the fact that death is approaching, life becomes bearable. The problem with this for him personally is that he is not ignorant. Having become conscious of the reality of death, there is no going back.
