  This classic collection by Bret Harte captures the rugged spirit, humor, and unexpected humanity of life in California’s Gold Rush-era mining camps. The titular story, The Luck of Roaring Camp , tells the poignant tale of a group of rough miners who find purpose and redemption through the care of an orphaned infant. Other stories blend sentiment, irony, and adventure, portraying gamblers, outcasts, and dreamers navigating love, loss, and fortune-seeking in the untamed West. Harte’s vivid characters and rich storytelling helped define the Western literary genre, blending realism with romanticism to paint a nuanced portrait of frontier morality, camaraderie, and fate. A foundational work of American regional fiction.

  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.

  Who's Gonna Drive You Home? - 50...

  Adapted from the 2015 book Bad Uber, an unintentional antiwork novel. A true account of leaving a worthy career to join the gig economy. 
  As the Uber phenomenon takes over London with its minicab booking app, destroying the trade of the world-famous black cab, trampling history under wheel and smashing prices, Charles Brickfield brings us the life of an Uber driver. 
  This audiobook tracks his first fifty days - from complete novice, to the Christmas party season and New Year's Eve, through to the so called 'Kipper Season'. Brim full of anecdotes delivered with pathos and humour in equal measure, Brickfield offers an authentic voice, not a cynic, just one of the thousands who needed a job and chose to work the night shift, to tickle London’s underbelly as time is called at the bar. Brickfield may be an inept driver, but he is an extremely adept author. 
  As we speak, the map of London is live and the giant game of cat and mouse is in play. 
  Five stars, old boy! Thanks for the ride.

  The Ugliest Dog In The World

  The Wickman family move to Paris from London, following a fortuitous and perfectly timed offer from an eccentric stranger. Once there, their extraordinary run of good luck continues, until Fifi arrives in their lives. Fifi is smelly, unhygienic, antisocial and without doubt, the ugliest dog in the world. The only person able to love the dog is her indulgent and saintly neighbour, Madame Mal-Odour (who curiously lost her sense of smell in a freak accident during a thunder storm in 1953). 
  Jamie Wickman just wants a quiet life and would secretly love to be a train driver. His daughter wants to be left in peace to run her black-market in blue sweets, with her friend Maria. However, Susie Wickman has set her sights on becoming an integral part of the social hierarchy of Paris’ elite. It seems that only her dog and neighbour stand between her and a free pass into the wonderful world of Countess di Zlexia’s inner circle. 
  She plans to do away with them both, until a series of unexpected incidents reveal something about her dog, neighbour and family that drastically change her priorities. These lead to a meeting with Professor Keren de Communeté which gives her something more urgent to consider than a life-time providing calorie-free nibbles to surgically-enhanced faces.
