  'It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch one another and find sympathy. We differ widely enough in our nobler qualities. It is in our follies that we are at one.'
  
  Jerome K. Jerome's second ever published work, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is a rollicking collection of hilarious essays that established the writer of one of the most talented humorists of his day.
  
  First serialised in 1886, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow takes the reader through a series of eccentric takes on love, memory, shyness, babies, food, the weather, the world at large and so much more. Brimming with personal anecdotes and comically perceptive commentary, Jerome's musings invite the reader to laugh at the absurdities of society and human nature. Written with the same witty flair and whimsy found in Jerome's renowned Three Men in a Boat, this compendium of essays is largely considered one of his finest works. Now given a new lease of life in this unabridged recording, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is essential reading for those who enjoy the entertaining writings of Jerome – which resonate still today.
  Jerome K. Jerome (1859 – 1927) was an English author and actor. Renowned for his comic works, he is best known for the hilarious travelogue, Three Men in a Boat. A prolific writer and admirer of the theatre, he penned several novels, essays and plays throughout his life.

  Mike is a foley artist who traveled from England to work with his friend Dwain—the first foley artist in the porn industry.
   
  On set, Mike finds himself drawn to Chloe, an actress who looks like Marilyn Monroe… if she’d been involved in an industrial accident. The loss of her leg hasn’t stopped Chloe from becoming a top star in Freak Porn.
   
  Inspired by his feelings for her, Mike sets out to bring a touch of artistry to the sleaziest corner of cinema by creating tastefully erotic films featuring abnormally shaped performers.
   
  Dwain, however, sees greater profits on the horizon if they push Freak Porn to its nauseating extreme.
   
  Monster Porn is a disturbing, one-sitting novelette—a transgressive, pitch-black satire of the fetid climate of the porn industry, where ambition rots, art dies, and nothing is too extreme.

  'I'm okay!' The bestselling author of The Anti-Cool Girl returns with a devastating, heartbreaking, brilliant, brave and laugh-out-loud funny memoir of telling lies and being on the brink... 
    
  'I had made it! All my dreams had come true. I had an operating fridge, I was doing brilliantly, and I had written the memoir to prove it. I even had online haters. I had conquered life at 30 and nothing was ever going to go wrong again!' It was all going so well for Rosie Waterland. Until it wasn't. Until, shockingly, something awful happened and Rosie went into agonising free fall. Until late one evening she found herself in a hospital emergency bed, trembling and hooked to a drip. Over the course of that long, painful night, she kept thinking about how ironic it was, that right in the middle of writing a book about lies, she'd ended up telling the most significant lie of all.A raw, beautiful, sad, shocking - and very, very funny - memoir of all the lies we tell others and the lies we tell ourselves. 
  Praise for The Anti-Cool Girl: 
  'Hilarious, wise, gutsy, clear-eyed, devastating and uplifting. It's a marvel.' Richard Glover 
  'Waterland's writing is ... individual, wounded, brilliant and hilarious' Sydney Morning Herald  
  'If Augusten Burroughs and Lena Dunham abandoned their child in an Australian housing estate, she'd write this heartbreaking, hilarious book.' Dominic Knight, The Chaser 
  The Anti-Cool Girl was shortlisted for the 2016 Indie Book Awards and for the 2016 ABIA Awards for Biography of the Year, and in addition was the Winner of the 2016 ABIA Awards People's Choice for the Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year

  It was love at first taste for fifteen-year-old Tadhg Hickey when he drank a can of Scrumpy Jack on the night of his exam results. Straight away it provided a cure for that constant feeling of 'something wrong, something not quite right', a way of numbing anxiety and childhood trauma. He realised he was extraordinarily good at drinking and energetically threw himself into a life of pubs, parties and staying pissed, while also managing to become a comedian. But alcohol had the last laugh ...A Portrait of the Piss Artist as a Young Man shows us the often-hilarious lengths of self-deception an alcoholic will go to, the horrific consequences of addiction and the redemptive process of recovering from this deadly but ultimately treatable illness, and remaining sober. A deeply touching memoir and with a side of self-help, Tadhg's easy-going writing style belies his serious message - that each of us has the power to change our lives.
