  Running away from your problems doesn’t solve anything – but sometimes it’s more fun than dealing with them 
  Elise was spending a lot of time crying on buses. She had just graduated from university; had a shiny new flat, her first proper job and a budding relationship – and they were making her miserable. Sitting at work one day, she hit upon the obvious solution. Run 5,000 miles around the coast of Britain, carrying her kit on her back. Six months later Elise set off, with absolutely no ultra-running experience, unable to read a map and having never pitched a tent before. Over the 301 days that followed she developed a debilitating fear of farmyard animals, cried on a lot of beaches and saw Britain at its most wild and wonderful. With heart and humour, Elise explores the thrill of taking risks and putting your trust in total strangers, and learns some home truths along the way.

  Heretics

  Heretics by G. K. Chesterton is a thought-provoking collection of essays that critiques the intellectual and cultural trends of his time. Chesterton challenges the prevailing ideologies of modernity, targeting thinkers and movements he views as undermining tradition, faith, and common sense. With sharp wit and eloquence, he defends the necessity of orthodoxy—not as rigid dogma, but as a foundation for truth and sanity in an increasingly skeptical world. Chesterton argues that rejecting universal truths leads to fragmented philosophies and moral relativism, leaving humanity adrift. Through his characteristic blend of humor, paradox, and profound insight, he calls for a return to enduring values rooted in Christianity. Heretics is both a defense of belief and a celebration of the imaginative vitality that faith inspires, making it a timeless critique of doubt and a call to embrace meaning in a chaotic age.

  My Secret Life Vol 9 Chapter 9

  My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
  
  Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
  
  Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
  
  The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
  
  The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

  A White Duck in a Black Pond is a compelling memoir as engrossing, relevant, and timely today as decades ago. Being the son of a White mother and an African American father during the 1950s presented challenges on its own, but the bane of Dane Wycoff's existence wasn’t that he was mixed; it was because he believed himself one hundred percent Black despite his white skin. His chosen identity led to an endless wave of rejection, violence, and torment. Dane was a Black boy somatically entrapped in white pigmentation, rejected by Black and White peers alike.
