Read previewScrolling through the profiles on OkCupid, Anna Akbari was drawn to a man who seemed handsome, witty, and highly intelligent. He was a catfisher — a person who fakes their online identity to trick victims into thinking they are someone else. He'd sent her a forged driving license, power points from his supposed job, and even copies of papers he claimed to have written at MIT. "We didn't know who this person was or why they were doing it," Akbari told BI. "Emily was Ethan, and Ethan was Emily," Akbari wrote in the book.

CNN —Actor Tom Felton opens up about his experience with alcoholism in a new book. “I went from being not particularly interested [in drinking] to regularly having a few pints a day before the sun had even gone down, and a shot of whiskey to go with each of them,” Felton wrote, according to an excerpt published by People. “My lawyer, whom I’d barely ever met face to face, spoke with quiet honesty,” Felton wrote. Felton, now 35, most recently starred in the feature film “Burial.”“I am not alone in having these feelings,” the star added in his book. “Just as we all experience physical ill-health at some stage in our lives, so we all experience mental ill-health too.
☆ Trump campaign throws a COVID-19 lifeline to an indie bookstore in New Jersey, buying Rep. Dan Crenshaw's new book in bulk
  + stars: | 2020-07-20 | by ( Dave Levinthal | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
"It helped us pay the staff, the rent, the insurance and keep the lights on," Books & Greetings owner Kenny Sarfin said. Campaign committees are increasingly making bulk book purchases, which help juice sales numbers and propel politicos' writings onto bestseller lists. The sale follows an earlier $400,000 order of Crenshaw's book by the National Republican Campaign Committee, Politico first reported. The Trump campaign did not reply to several request for comment. While political-committee book purchases are en vogue, it's rare for Republicans — or Democrats — to purchase so many from a mom-and-pop operation.
☆ Book Review: ‘Pachinko,’ by Min Jin Lee
  + stars: | 2017-02-02 | by ( Krys Lee | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
(This book was selected as one of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of 2017. Pachinko, the slot-machine-like game ubiquitous throughout Japan, unifies the central concerns of identity, homeland and belonging. For the ethnic Korean population in Japan, discriminated against and shut out of traditional occupations, pachinko parlors are the primary mode of finding work and accumulating wealth. From a young age, Sunja’s oldest son sees being Korean as “a dark, heavy rock”; his greatest, secret desire is to be Japanese. He believes there are still good Japanese people and sees himself as Japanese, too, “even if the Japanese didn’t think so.”
