Summary

Recovering from the realisation that his honeymoon was not quite as he had anticipated, Simon Sparrow can at least look forward to a life of tranquillity and order as a respectable homeowner with a new wife. But that was before his old friend Dr Grimsdyke took to using their home as a place of refuge from his various misdemeanours - and especially from the incident with the actress which demanded immediate asylum. Surely one such houseguest was enough without the appearance of Simon’s godfather, the eminent Sir Lancelot Spratt. Chaos and mayhem in the Sparrow household can mean only one thing - more comic tales from Richard Gordon’s hilarious doctor series.

    Meet Dr. Newton Barlow, a charismatic scientist whose world is about to be turned upside down. Picture Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's "Good Omens" mingled with the wit of Christopher Moore, and you've got "The Unhappy Medium." 
Dr. Barlow seemed to have it all: a renowned career in the lab and on TV, a glamorous wife by his side, and an unshakable belief that the supernatural was nothing more than outright lies and wishful thinking. But life has a funny way of humbling even the most self-assured of individuals, and Barlow's reckoning is about to unfold. 
Accused of fraud and shunned by the scientific community, Barlow finds himself stripped of his fame, expelled from the family home, and cast out from his once lofty perch. Three despair-filled years pass, drowning his sorrows in wine, until an unexpected glimmer of hope emerges. Dr. Sixsmith, Barlow's equally skeptical mentor, approaches him with an extraordinary proposition and with nothing left to lose, Barlow has little choice but to accept. 
There's just one tiny, itsy-bitsy obstacle standing in his way—Sixsmith is dead. 
In a desperate bid to save both this world and the next, can Dr. Barlow set aside his cherished beliefs and confront the impossible? Brace yourself for a raucous rollercoaster ride through the realms of life, death, and that peculiar bit in between. 
If you're a fan of Douglas Adams' zany humor, Terry Pratchett's fantastical worlds, or the imaginative tales of Tom Holt, Ben Aaronovitch, and Jim Butcher, then "The Unhappy Medium" is an absolute must-read. Bursting with unforgettable characters, a gripping mystery, heart-pounding action, and sidesplitting humor, this book has it all. 
If you're ready for a journey that will tickle your funny bone and captivate your imagination, then "The Unhappy Medium" is your ticket to an uproarious good time.

    A British comedy filled with adult humour, questionable dating choices, and a whole lot of laughs. 
Pete Walker is back on the dating scene. He wants that Romeo & Juliet level of passion but keeps getting Shrek & Donkey instead. Could uninhibited fitness fanatic Penny be the one? Cat-crazy Miranda seems nice, but there is something intriguing about Lila. It’s just a shame her hobbies include car theft. 
Dating is difficult at the best of times, but in a city with a serial killer on the loose, next to impossible – especially when you’re suffering from memory loss and keep waking up in strange places, dressed in an all-black outfit with matching leather gloves.

    Einstein o Indubala:...

    A critically acclaimed stinging narrative by the legendary Bibhutibhusan Bandopadhyay, the title of 'Einstein o Indubala' reflects the pathological low intellectual taste of the masses that could not distinguish between class and gloss. The story is a dark sarcasm that mocks the trite, banal, and trivial - a symptomatic occupation that lacks intellectual curiosity, imagination, and common sense in identifying and appreciating real quality in the face of mindless temptations and a false sense of glamour. 
The deliberate parody portrays the quintessential opposite poles of the human intellect to bear on the author's focus on this paradoxical human behavior in the garb of a comical display of human apathy and indifference to appreciate something great. 
Reflect on this masterclass from one of the classical masters of Bengal literature that rings true even in today's context and society.

    Never give up, especially on yourself. 
In L.L. Kirchner’s Pushcart-nominated memoir of “resistance and surrender… [the author’s] voice is humble and self-aware” (Kirkus Reviews) as she undertakes a desperate post-divorce search for nirvana, leaving behind university halls in the Persian Gulf for the streets of Manhattan and, ultimately, a sex cult in India. 
Between the gym her family owned and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner believed she was grounded in all things wellness. But after a tumultuous year in Qatar, which included the discovery that she'd never have children, her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone. 
Fearing a return to her substance use disorder, she tries to regain trust in the universe through yoga, meditation, chanting, boyfriends, more yoga… Each brings some relief, but her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until illness forces her to reckon with the gift her mother had always given her—hope. 
In a memoir that’s both rapturous and page-turning, Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical honesty — and a second date.
