So begins the Proust Questionnaire. A set of questions written by Marcel Proust in the late 1800s, it was designed as a parlour game to uncover the true nature of each player.
In this book, 23 incredible individuals share their answers to some of these questions. Featuring everyone from an artisan chocolatier in Italy to a concept store owner a Lebanon, their insights offer inspiring glimpses into the beauty of each singular life lived.

    *THE MUST-LISTEN BOOK FOR THE OASIS REUNION TOUR*'Deserves to stay on the bestseller lists for a long time to come' - Caitlin Moran'Brilliant' - NMEOasis were a band like bands used to be. Hard-drinking and substance abusing. If they liked you, they loved you. If they didn't, you had to be prepared for confrontation. Iain Robertson is used to tough jobs - after retiring from the Parachute Regiment, he took on jobs guarding George Harrison, Gary Moore and Johnny Rotten. But keeping Oasis on the rails after debut album Definitely Maybe ignited their rise toward global superstardom would be the toughest gig of them all. Oasis would explode into public consciousness and have the world at their feet in the wake of their epic first album and a huge world tour. Iain was side-by-side as their road manager and minder, twenty-four hours a day, eight days a week, as they took on the world and won. No one was closer. Now updated with new unpublished material to celebrate the thirty year anniversary of Definitely Maybe and ahead of their upcoming reunion tour, this story is the defining chronicle of life on tour with Oasis.

    Death of the Senate - My Front...

    Something is rotten in the U.S. Senate, and the disease has been spreading for some time. But Ben Nelson, former U.S. senator from Nebraska, is not going to let the institution destroy itself without a fight. Death of the Senate is a clear-eyed look inside the Senate chamber and a brutally honest account of the current political reality. 
    In his two terms as a Democratic senator from the red state of Nebraska, Nelson positioned himself as a moderate broker between his more liberal and conservative colleagues and became a frontline player in the most consequential fights of the Bush and Obama years. His trusted centrist position gave him a unique perch from which to participate in some of the last great rounds of bipartisan cooperation, such as the “Gang of 14” that considered nominees for the federal bench—and passed over a young lawyer named Brett Kavanaugh for being too partisan. 
    Nelson learned early on that the key to any negotiation at any level is genuine trust. With humor, insight, and firsthand details, Nelson makes the case that the “heart of the deal” is critical and describes how he focused on this during his time in the Senate. As seen through the eyes of a centrist senator from the Great Plains, Nelson shows how and why the spirit of bipartisanship declined and offers solutions that can restore the Senate to one of the world’s most important legislative bodies.

    Andrew’s second book, Travels with Tracy: Tales from a Midlife Gap Year, is not your typical travel memoir. With successful careers behind them, supportive families and a lifetime of hard work up their sleeves, Andrew and Tracy decided to pack up their lives and embark on a richly diverse two-year journey through seventeen countries, across five continents.  
    Brimming with unforgettable adventures and encounters with remarkable people, Andrew takes readers from the Shibuya crossing and earthquakes in Tokyo to the Louvre and the Olympics in Paris, then all the way to the Amazonian rainforest and the breathtaking Galápagos Islands.  
    Closer to his home, he braves the Alps 2 Ocean trail in stunning New Zealand and discovers the wonder of crossing the Nullarbor while playing the world’s longest golf course. As their travels unfold, Andrew and Tracy begin to ponder what makes life important, think deeply about what makes us who we are, and together come to understand life’s ultimate question – who do you want to be? 
    In Travels with Tracy, Andrew’s thoughtful search for truth and identity – delivered with a sharp wit and a fast pace – will inspire you to box up your life and dive headfirst into an adventure of your own.

    "What I Need to Know Before I Die" by Mavis Beneby Walton is a heartfelt and reflective book that began as a personal letter to the author's daughters but evolved into a universal message for all sons and daughters. The book explores the challenges of expressing the attributes of God to young adults and emphasizes the power of written communication, aiming to provide answers to life's purpose and the reason for existence. In contrast to the incident of personal loss, including the author's experience of losing two brothers within a short span and the impact of the pandemic on friends and family, the book delves into the universal questions surrounding life, death, and the afterlife. It encourages readers to reflect on their life journeys, acknowledging moments of regret and the desire for second chances. With a focus on the importance of faith and a relationship with God, the book aims to resonate with readers, offering solace and guidance during times of loss and uncertainty. Mavis Beneby Walton hopes that the words within the book will not only reach hearts but also draw individuals closer to God while still on Earth, emphasizing the significance of completing one's earthly assignment before the journey to the afterlife.
