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

Would not work in my jeep
Color: Textured
This seems like a decent holder, however it is not universal as it would not fit in my jeep. Check to make sure you have the right kind of air vents for it. I could not get it to work for my vehicle as the vents are too wide.

Works great!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a very simple, lightweight phone mount. It works well, I’m surprised how securely it fits on the car vent. I’ve tried others and couldn’t get them to fit right. My phone slides into the top and fits nicely. It was easy to install.

Nice, and would buy it again
Style: Qi2 Charging Mount
So far I'm liking this product. For the model X, you can use it on either side of the screen. As well, it holds on very well on the screen. Very good build quality and design. Fits perfectly to the screen. Very strong magnetic fit. But can cause scratches to your case if tth case is a hard plastic material.
