關於本電子書

For ten years, he laboured to construct his ultralight airplane, then, on a whim, he doused it with gasoline and set fire to it. When the rat invades his home, Gerry goes to drastic lengths to rid himself of the vermin, but ... Dying of mesothelioma, but living with zest. A bachelor shoots himself in the back with a shotgun. A meal of moose testicles. More than forty true, but unbelievable stories of the bizarre lives of an endangered species: the bachelor. 
No single man worth his salt is married. The thought could have come straight from Yogi Berra’s vault of butchered expressions. However, many married men – the wannabes - in spite of wanting to remain married, idolize and envy the bachelor. Few bachelors return the favour.  
But the bachelor is a unique breed. Always threatened with extinction, bachelors have survived, and thrived, by doing things and thinking their own way. They are Robert Frost’s travellers in the yellow wood. 

It is true. No single man worth his salt is married. All the good ones are not taken; they are recalled from the market 

關於作者

 Robert Lee brings a little bit of unusual to everything he touches. Among his creations are: The Last Drop of Living (A Minimalist’s Guide to Living The High Life On A Low Budget); The Last Drop Of Living: Finding Your Oasis; Fairy Tales, Fables and Yarns for All Ages; Wild Animals People I Have Known; Council of the Pure; Ashes of Paranoia; Disabilities (co-authored with Melissa Ancelin); Coffee, Black, The Dance Club: Turning Fifty Shades of Grey, How To Build a (Semi) Solid Yurt  and Ashes of Paranoia.

From his early jobs as a “bouncer” in several seedy hotels to his reincarnation as a private investigator, from community business development expert to environmental consultant, he has demonstrated eclectic interests and versatile talents.

In The Last Drop of Living, he guides readers through unique approaches to living a minimalist lifestyle with style. Fairy Tales, Fables and Yarns offers a collection of stories written for friends and family, young, not-so-young and old. Wild Animals People I Have Known documents anecdotes of over thirty violent criminals with whom Bob has interacted, and reveals that there is more depth to most of these murderers, thieves and violent thugs than meets the eye. In Mama’s Boys,  pathological loyalty among gang members leads to fatal consequences when one of the group seeks vengeance against another gang for his mother’s murder. Disabilities tracks four people as they deal with their visible and not-so-visible handicaps. Finding Your Oasis, a follow-up to The Last Drop Of Living, reveals tricks and tips for finding that peaceful sanctum that each of us seeks in life. And Coffee, Black offers a collection of short stories, each with a coffee shop as a focal point.
