I loved this biography of a song and the man who made it, and the picture he paints of his life, his friends, his passions, five Pythons and a Beatle -- Neil GaimanThe Monty Python man embraced fame and became friends with George Harrison, David Bowie, Paul Simon and many others. This is an unashamedly starry autobiography, packed with hilarious name-dropping anecdotes -- Craig Brown * Mail on Sunday Books of the Year *The pleasingly jolly tone of what he calls his "sortabiography" captures the daft glee with which the he and his fellow Pythons lampooned British authority -- Fiona Sturges * Guardian Best Books of 2018 *I read Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from cover to cover.

It's also the kind of book you'll want to read twice-once when the genius of Python sketches are fresh in your memory, and once when those scenes have faded so you can be reminded how these comedy rebels shook up an art form that was due for a dose of surreal silliness * Washington Post *This tell-all from my comedy hero Eric Idle is brilliant, hilarious, touching, enlightening, filled with swashbuckling adventure, edge-of-your-seat suspense, heart-pounding romance, and contained several typos and one inaccurate fact about the Spanish-American war.

Book Synopsis"A brilliantly observed book that decodes modern dating from A to Z... Brilliantly witty translation of what men really mean." - Femail, Daily MailTinder Translator is a hilarious and revealing feminist commentary on dating apps and the patriarchy, from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators. Ten years after the introduction of Tinder, dating apps have changed the terrain of human interaction, but many feel like they’ve been sent into the wilderness without a guide. For those dating cis-het men especially, the blatant misogyny encountered during every swipe session is depressing and enraging in equal measure. And then there is the not-so-blatant stuff. Scrolling through profile after profile, you’ll see the same stock phrases: Good vibes only. Must have banter. Just ask. But what do they actually mean? Through her Instagram account, Aileen has heard from thousands of people on their dating experiences, in addition to her own years spent on dating apps. This dictionary of douchebaggery is part reference, part rant and part rallying cry for anyone navigating the sometimes gross and exhausting experience of dating, but also just for everyone who is sick of the patriarchy, whatever their relationship status. A fun small hardback, Tinder Translator is the perfect gift for friends (or for yourself) – whether they're dating or not. It will make you laugh, sigh, think, and leave you feeling empowered and resilient. Trade Review‘Incisive social commentary delivered with a spoonful of arsenic.’ – Clementine Ford 'Never have I felt more seen within the scope of dating than while reading this book.' – Stephanie Yeboah 'A must-read for anyone who wants to read between the lines on dating apps.' – Lalaletmeexplain ‘Ruining the minds of decent women.’ –Angry Internet Man

You could die laughing.” (Stephen King) “Cartoonist Gary Larson carries the macabre to hilarious lengths.” (The Wall Street Journal)“A magnificent contribution to popular culture.” (The Washington Post)“Samuel Taylor Coleridge, in between opium binges, once distinguished poetry from prose by noting that the former comprises ‘the best words in their best order.’ Gary Larson’s achievement in The Far Side® is to have pulled off much the same thing in a humbler medium: the best joke told with the best image … there is no excuse not to have some Larson in your life.” (The Daily Beast) “Larson communicates a great deal of information in a few simple ink lines. The expressions of his characters are vivid and immediately recognizable … And with just a strand of beads and a pair of harlequin glasses, he can somehow transfer any animal—a shark, a bug, a warthog—into a dowdy suburban hausfrau.” (The Los Angeles Times)“In an age when black humor is a lost art, Larson’s cartoon is an island of insanity, offering us the perspective of a world where the unreal is normal and vice versa. Its message deep down is a dark one— something about taking ourselves too seriously and strutting around as if we own the place.” (Rolling Stone)“Bless Gary Larson for his wonderful consistency in casting an artful eye on all of Earth’s wild critters, human or otherwise.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)“The unofficial cartoonist laureate of the scientific community.” (Natural History Magazine)“The natural order of things goes seriously awry, with hilarious results.” (Smithsonian Magazine)“Gary Larson is a simple man with a simple talent for mordant hilarity.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
