Adventures on the High Teas by Stuart Maconie
Amazing... but false; hundreds of facts you thought were true, but aren't!

There's also a big OS map of the lune valley on the wall next to the pan.
The CPC catalogue?? :blink:

We have CTC's cycle, Nat geo, Amazon kindle, netbook (now you are wondering!!!)

The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B

Opinions vary on this book. One reviewer writes.....
Balthazar B. is an aristocrat bewildered at every turn by life. His picaresque journey from Paris to Trinity College Dublin and visitations to country estates and among women of high and dubious social standing is hilarious to behold. The randy foil figure of Beefy may stand as one of the greatest comic figures since Shakespeare's Fat Jack Falstaff. The literary style of Donleavy is itself richly laden with lyricism and poetry and comedy. It is a uniquely pointillistic style in which brush strokes are applied to the canvas with precision and clarity in truncated and non-traditonal but accessible syntax. Like most truly great writers Donleany evokes all of the reader's senses in his work. He also succeeds in arousing sympathy, hilarity, tenderness, grief -- a full range of sensibilities that engage the reader. Each character is roundly drawn and speaks with a unique voice and range of experience. Donleavy's Ginger Man is named among the Random House Top 100 Novels of the 20th Century. He is a supremely talented story teller with an enchanting narrative style that will leave you wanting to read more. Don't miss this novel, The Destinies of Darcy Dancer, Gentleman and the Singular Man -- they are all pleasant and richly satisfying literary treasures.

While the author says....."Blessed are they who in this sea of frailty, climb aboard a piece of ass as it floats by."
