開計程車的影魅，一心只想修成正果。他最好的朋友地狼，卻是個不折不扣的享樂主義者。再加上渴望母愛的小九尾狐、任性又霸道的必方、搶錢一族的人魚泉先、膽小倒楣的鹿蜀……在這座紛紛擾擾、光怪陸離的城市中，妖怪與人類之間，妖怪與妖怪之間，上演了一齣齣怪奇逗趣的戲碼。「青丘之山……有獸焉，其狀如狐而九尾，其音如嬰兒，能食人……」
《山海經．南山經》妖怪閱讀的旺季……中國妖怪破卷而出
去年以來，書市興起了妖怪閱讀的風雲，除了日劇電影這類商業流行的因素外，更反映了當今世代在昌明都會中求學討生活的無趣無奈，妖怪書寫在華文傳統中本是為隱喻世情而生，妖怪文本的流行也反映了都會生活隨著經濟發展而益加無趣至極。
而跳脫東瀛古代妖怪的《都市妖》一書，絕對能充作當代讀者無法跳脫煩悶生活節奏的壯陽補藥。
本書以都會生活為鍋底，以山海經為藥引，經由作者可蕊耐心煎煮，熬煉出絕對耳目一新的當代都會補藥。怪談始終來自於人性，豐富的妖怪故事連卷，濃郁逗趣的異類現形
《都市妖》中之妖怪個性突出活潑，兼之沾染人類種種惡習：酗酒、愛財樣樣都來，卻又感情豐厚，喜怒形於色，遠比人類來得率直（善良？），妖怪間頻繁互動，在樓房間拼地盤、搭乘妖怪計程車來個夜巡。本書並非魑魅版的「慾望城市」，也不止是魍魎化的「六人行」，濃郁逗趣卻也妖影幢幢，這是本書妖怪才能演義的百鬼夜行。這座現代都市住著五百萬人口，同時，還住著三千隻妖怪……
作者可蕊使用豐潤生花的筆法將山海經中出現的群妖繪入現代畫幅。魑魅成為按錶載客的計程車司機、尸怪成為懸壺濟世的醫生、九尾妖狐化身穿著白淨制服的惡童、水妖泉先當起伴遊撈錢。職業之外的休閒時間則花在逛街購物、逛夜店、或者在公園燒烤小妖怪，有時還得合力幫人類解決環保問題。
華語世界正面臨巨大的都市化地殼運動，在都會巨樓的腳底，一切切的怪光陸離、紙醉金迷似乎不再令人生怪，但是古代妖怪們該如何適應這個現代世界？ 我們又該如何保持率性執著？這在本書中通通不算是個問題，只希望看倌看得有趣。

「有鳥焉，其狀如鶴，一足，赤文青質而白喙，名曰畢方，其鳴自叫也。」——《山海經•西次三經》
接受了故鄉弱小妖怪們的請求，影魅帶著畢方跟地狼回到了久違了的山林；然而故鄉早已不是記憶中的樣貌，他們如何處理這裡群妖並立的局面？
走了地狼和畢方，立新市中的妖怪們也蠢蠢欲動起來，山鬼、殭屍他們該如何自處?不承認自己是妖怪的貓妖咖啡，跟不承認自己是貓的妖貓黑冰又登場了，這次他們又將製造出什麼趣事？
在輕鬆的筆調、緊湊的情節和性格鮮明的妖怪描寫中，《都市妖》帶給讀者的不僅僅是一個個逗趣的怪奇故事，更是一個迷人的東方式奇幻世界。

Here's a lively, hilarious, not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical traditions, schools, concepts, and thinkers. It's Philosophy 101 for everyone who knows not to take all this heavy stuff too seriously. Some of the Big Ideas are Existentialism (what do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?), Philosophy of Language (how to express what it's like being stranded on a desert island with Halle Berry), Feminist Philosophy (why, in the end, a man is always a man), and much more. Finally—it all makes sense!

为写作特别是为了做学问而写作，去读书或不如说查书，当然是很严肃、很艰苦，因而也很悲壮的事情。因为梦想有一天能摆脱学术，自由自在地读书，东拉西扯地聊天，所以常常会想起一个词――放虎归山。

The Classic book from author and humorist Will Cuppy transforms well known figures from history into human beings, showing them to be foolish, fallible, and so much our very common ancestors. Included are profiles of such historical figures as Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Lady Godiva plus many more.

The "New York Times "bestseller is now in an inexpensive paperback edition for Graduation Day mayhem--with a new map and chapter on the Middle East. Ranked #2 among "USA Today's" top humor books and #3 on "The Washington Post "bestseller list, "this little gem from the ivory tower" ("Publishers Weekly") has been praised as: "The cre me de la cre me of student vacantness" ("Associated Press"). "Glorious, equal-opportunity idiocy for every era" ("Houston Chronicle"). A harvest of the most creative bits of inane writing ("Chicago Tribune"). You'll laugh until you cry-shedding tears for the state of American education ("Baltimore Sun"). Who knew that history could be so funny and creatively spelled? ("Columbia Dispatch"). Culled from actual history term papers and exams of students at over 30 colleges--including those of the Ivy League--"Non Campus Mentis" weaves shocking and hilarious bloopers, gaffs, and malapropisms into a chronology with the wit and juxtapositions of a brilliant comic monologue. There are the births of the great religions: Judyism was the first monolithic religion. It had one big God named 'Yahoo.' The mother of Jesus was Mary, who was different from other women because of her 'Immaculate Contraption.' The Dark Ages, when it was mostly dark. The American civil rights movement, which turned around the corner with Martin Luther Junior's famous 'If I Had a Hammer' speech. And statements that will leave you just scratching your head: Machiavelli, who was often unemployed, wrote The Prince to get a job with Richard Nixon.

Respect yourself in the morning -- read One-Night Stands with American History! This collection of little-known facts and anecdotes is American history with the boring parts left out. Richard Shenkman and Kurt Reiger have uncovered numerous stories about hoaxes, inventions, secrets, and rare incidents -- many involving the most famous and powerful people in America. President U. S. Grant was arrested for speeding in his horse carriage. J. Edgar Hoover refused to allow people to walk on his shadow. France shipped Louisiana twenty-five prostitutes because women were in short supply in 1721. H. L. Hunt won his first oil well in a game of five-card stud. Even historians find that One-Night Stands with American History features fascinating stories they never knew. Now updated with facts and anecdotes from the last twenty years, this volume is a treasure trove of remarkable stories that will startle, entertain, and inform you. And the best part is that they're all true!
