  When Blake Moran starts his new story with, “My wife is HUGE!”, you have to wonder if everything is just going to be downhill after that. But nope, it’s not. Blake finds himself enmeshed in two wild situations—an expanding family and a dead United States Senator. It turns out that Senator Todd Ashford was one of the rare “good ones”, and his death has the strange stench of a political hitjob. But why was he murdered? Working for his favorite billionaire, Mr. Triplehorn, again, Blake heads to Washington, D.C. to try and discover what no one else can. His discovery of a worldwide conspiracy cabal that is attempting to overwhelm and overthrow the Representative Republic of the United States of America will put his life, and the lives of others in danger—but Blake won’t stop. After all, he is the investigator who “finds stuff”. But will the Cabal get him before he gets them?

  The artist Norman Thelwell (1923–2004) was famous for his horse and pony cartoons, but his work was far more wide ranging. He focused his exceptional talent and humour on many diverse subjects, with his witty and wry observations providing amusement and sharp social comment.
  
  Some Damn Fool's Signed the Rubens Again is Thelwell's look at life in Britain's stately homes, and what happens when they are opened to the public. Here are the castles, country estates, and the quirks of the British class system all depicted in the artist's inimitable style.
  
  When an ancestral home is crumbling, or an aristocratic family is debt-ridden, the solution calls for drastic action. It is time to welcome in the paying public. Thelwell's cartoons capture the comic situations that result when the noble residents come face to face with the curious visitors. See the duke in his tower preparing to repel the coachloads with boiling oil; a ghost train in the family vault; toddlers wrecking treasured heirlooms; and animals in the safari park watching the hilarious human spectacle unfold.

  Alarms & Discursions -...

  G K Chesterton

  The fragments of futile journalism or fleeting impression which are here collected are very like the wrecks and riven blocks that were piled in a heap round my imaginary priest of the sun. They are very like that grey and gaping head of stone that I found overgrown with the grass. Yet I will venture to make even of these trivial fragments the high boast that I am a medievalist and not a modern. That is, I really have a notion of why I have collected all the nonsensical things there are. I have not the patience nor perhaps the constructive intelligence to state the connecting link between all these chaotic papers. But it could be stated. This row of shapeless and ungainly monsters which I now set before the reader does not consist of separate idols cut out capriciously in lonely valleys or various islands. These monsters are meant for the gargoyles of a definite cathedral. I have to carve the gargoyles, because I can carve nothing else; I leave to others the angels and the arches and the spires. But I am very sure of the style of the architecture, and of the consecration of the church. -- From the introduction

  If you’ve ever found yourself in a conversation thinking, “I have no idea what I’m talking about”—this book is your salvation. 
  In The Bullsht Artist’s Handbook*, self-proclaimed overthinker and professional nonsense generator Dicholas Chad Pansy offers a brutally honest, wildly practical guide to dominating conversations, debates, meetings, and social events with zero actual knowledge. No degrees, facts, or preparation required—just the audacity to sound like you know what you’re doing. 
  This isn’t about lying. This is about sounding smart, intimidatingly confident, and vaguely profound—all while saying absolutely nothing of substance. 
  Inside, you'll learn how to: 
  Weaponize confidence to bulldoze logic 
  Say a lot without saying anything (and get applause for it) 
  Use pauses, squints, and sighs to look like a genius 
  Win debates without facts (or shame) 
  Drop philosopher names you've never read (convincingly) 
  Bullsh*t your way through work meetings, parties, and even Twitter 
  Whether you're looking to survive awkward small talk, impress strangers at brunch, or gaslight your way to the top of the corporate ladder, this handbook is your guide to becoming a certified conversational menace. 
  Warning: This is a humor book. If you’re looking for actual personal growth, you’ve taken a very wrong turn.
