Can a story save your life?
Meg Carpenter is broke. Her novel is years overdue. Her cell phone is out of minutes. And her moody boyfriend's only contribution to the household is his sour attitude. So she jumps at the chance to review a pseudoscientific book that promises life everlasting. But who wants to live forever? Consulting cosmology and physics, tarot cards, koans (and riddles and jokes), new-age theories of everything, narrative theory, Nietzsche, Baudrillard, and knitting patterns, Meg wends her way through Our Tragic Universe, asking this and many other questions. Does she believe in fairies? In magic? Is she a superbeing? Is she living a storyless story? And what's the connection between her off-hand suggestion to push a car into a river, a ship in a bottle, a mysterious beast loose on the moor, and the controversial author of The Science of Living Forever? Smart, entrancing, and boiling over with Thomas's trademark big ideas, Our Tragic Universe is a book about how relationships are created and destroyed, how we can rewrite our futures (if not our histories), and how stories just might save our lives.Binding Type: Paperback

I’ve tried so many and Love this one!
Color: Black, Size: Large (10"W*6.69"D*2.17"H)
When I travel my earrings and broaches and bracelets are important parts of my outfits (I like finishing “the look” with the right accessory or two. I’ve struggled to find a good, accommodating yet packable case. This has a very low profile which makes it very easy to slip in my luggage. Well made, sturdy and good zipper It holds lots of earrings and underneath will hold my broaches. Room left over in lid for bracelets and a zippered pocket for additional storage. I found exactly what I wanted and needed in this case. Highly recommend.

Just Buy it!
Color: Black, Size: Large (10"W*6.69"D*2.17"H)
I purchased one of these for my mom for Christmas and I loved the quality so much that I purchased another one for myself. I always have all these different jewelry bags when I would travel and it was annoying. But now all my jewelry is together in one place. The quality is really great! It’s durable and big enough to fit many shapes and sizes of my jewelry pieces. The best part is that the middle part can be removed if you want. It’s really cute and chic. I’m so glad I purchased this jewelry case.
