  Nothing Means Anything (And...

  Finally, a philosophy book that doesn't take itself as seriously as the theorists it eviscerates! "Nothing Means Anything" mercilessly skewers postmodernism's most pretentious thinkers with savage wit and zero academic mercy. 
  Journey through the impenetrable jargon, circular logic, and breathtaking hypocrisy of French intellectuals who made careers out of stating the obvious in the most confusing way possible. From Derrida's word games to Foucault's paranoid power trips, from Baudrillard's reality-denial to Lyotard's grand narrative about the end of grand narratives, this book translates postmodern gobbledygook into hilarious plain English. 
  Whether you're a traumatized humanities student seeking revenge on the theorists who destroyed your GPA, a curious reader wondering what all the fuss is about, or just someone who enjoys watching pretentious nonsense get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide delivers. You'll learn how to sound profound while saying absolutely nothing, why your IKEA catalog is more meaningful than your actual life, and how to win any argument by claiming everything is a "discourse" (don't forget the air quotes). 
  Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting, concerned looks from strangers, and a weird sense of relief that someone finally said what we've all been thinking about these turtleneck-wearing, cigarette-smoking harbingers of intellectual doom. May cause spontaneous clarity and the disturbing realization that these insufferable French people might occasionally have been right about something.

  Meet Jim Greene. 
  An ordinary detective constable trying 'not' to solve a murder. 
   
  The remote and isolated Cornish island of Gallymay was meant to be the perfect place for a break. But things don’t quite go to plan when Jim stumbles across a body on his first day. 
   
  Which is the last thing he needs. But it’s fine. He’ll call Devon and Cornwall Police. They’ll sort it out. 
   
  Except the storm, and the island, have other ideas. Cut off from the mainland during a mid-winter storm, Jim finds himself reluctantly thrust into a murder investigation, assisted by a ragtag group of well-meaning locals, in a chaotic, heartfelt, and often laugh-out-loud “almost” cosy mystery. 
   
  Told through police notebooks, witness statements, interview transcripts and body-worn video logs, Murder Crime on Gallymay blends pitch-perfect policing, with laugh-out-loud moments, heartwarming friendships, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the final page.

  Leisure suits! Muscle cars! An annoyingly ethical cocktail-loving alien! Social justice radicals! Time-traveling terrorist music critics! Just like Jane Austen used to write! Why couldn't Alan be cool like people in the '70s? After breaking up with his girlfriend Sheila and unsatisfyingly teaching English in South Korea, he befriends an alien grad student, Coff, who lets him time-travel to swingin' 1967 England to live out his retro-boogie fantasy. But now 70 years old in Edmonton, Canada, Alan takes a chance in meeting Sheila again to confess his past, causing problems in time that Coff will need more than Fleetwood Mac and fuzzy dice to fix. When time-flow conflicts result in them being harassed by university radicals and half-real fictional characters out to prevent Starship from recording "We Built This City" in 1985, Alan, Coff, and Sheila must travel to a San Francisco disco in 1979 for a final showdown against the time-terrorists. Shorter of Breath is an enjoyable romp through expat life in Korea, retro 70's culture, and classic rock music.

  Stetson Jeff returns to the United States in pursuit of the mysterious A.S.P. The gang turns out to be more dangerous than even Stetson Jeff could imagine, so he flees Philadelphia and finds refuge among the Amish in Paradise, Pennsylvania. More kickboxing, bad guys and low-speed chases ensue (think forklift vs. horse and buggy). With a nod to Harrison Ford's "The Witness" and plenty of other 80s tropes, Stetson Jeff, now changing hats as often as an Amish family goes to church, is in serious trouble, but he'll find his way through. A barrel of laughs.
