    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  
    4.39 on Goodreads with 24,400+ ratings  
    Here's what reviewers had to say:  
    "According to a twenty-something friend who recently immigrated to the U.S. from Russia, this 1927 satirical-comic novel is still so popular in Russia that not only has everyone read it (on their own—not in school!) but everyone quotes from it in their everyday speech." 
    "The funniest book ever written." 
    "A thousand kind of people are living in this book. Rich, poor, old, young, crafty, deceived, brave, coward, intellectual, ignorant... But the thing that brings them together is the same: pursuit of money. Ilf and Petrov successfully and colourfully portrays one of the most important passions of mankind - getting rich."  
    "An absolute masterpiece! This was an audiobook for me this time and while I have read it before the audio experience has just amplified my admiration to this book."

    One of our most beloved comedians, the brilliantly witty and outspoken star of The View, hits the most unpopular President ever elected where it hurts—and makes us laugh and cheer—in this hilarious alphabetical guide to everything that’s wrong with the ""Orange One,"" Donald Trump. 
    Put down the knife, lock away the gun, lay aside the noose, Joy Behar is here to save you from suicide as she hot walks you through the next four years (two if we are lucky, less if liberal dreams come true). Besides despair, the sane response to the insanity in the White House is laughter. On her hit ABC daytime show The View, Joy has been blunt in her condemnation of the comb over-in-chief, and her words have electrified and inspired millions in the resistance for whom #notmypresident has become a rallying cry. 
    The Great Gasbag is Joy’s answer to the hell that is the Trump Orange House. Structured as an A-Z guide (G is for Gold . . . en shower; P is for Pence and pussy-grabbing; T is for Tweets; Twits, and Twats, etc.), Joy, joined by New York Times bestselling humor author Larry Amoros, offers much-needed doses of levity and humor for everyone determined to #resist. With a major network television profile and a social media audience in the millions, this fearlessly confident star has a powerful platform to entertain Americans of all stripes—from Never Trumpers to fired-up progressives—as she takes on the worst president since . . . well, since ever.

    🚨 ATTENTION PERFECTIONISTS: If you’ve ever rewritten an email 14 times, physically cringed at a typo, or spent an hour debating whether to sign off with "Best" or "Sincerely"—this book is your personal attack. 
    Do you spend an obscene amount of time making sure every minor detail of your life is flawless, only to burn out like an overheated laptop from 2006? Do you find yourself rewriting text messages to ensure they sound casual, yet professional, yet witty, yet effortless, yet not like you're trying too hard, but also not like you don’t care? 
    CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 You’re a perfectionist. And it’s ruining your life. 
    In this hilariously unhinged survival guide, we’ll explore: 
    ✅ The Art of Overthinking Everything – Why make a simple decision when you could spiral into existential dread? 
    ✅ Procrastination: The Perfectionist’s Favorite Coping Mechanism – If you never start, you never fail! Genius! 
    ✅ How to Do Everything at 110% Until You Emotionally Collapse – Sleep is for the weak. 
    ✅ Lowering Your Standards: An Incredibly Painful but Necessary Life Skill – Your 80% effort is still better than Todd’s 20%, and he got promoted. 
    By the end of this book, you won’t be cured of perfectionism (LOL, good luck with that), but you will at least understand why your brain is a flaming disaster. 
    📢 WARNING: This book contains aggressive sarcasm, brutal self-awareness, and zero practical advice on how to actually fix yourself. (Because let’s be honest, you’d just overthink it anyway.)

    A sequel to the original and highly therapeutic "Becket List"...a compendium of the trivial but oh-so-phenomenally-irritating things that bedevil everyday life. Here you will find that you are not alone in having issues with phrases like - well - "having issues with", as well as supposedly inanimate objects like carparks, newfangled doorhandles and badly translated menus...not to mention other people's behaviour, like the way that French drivers negotiate roundabouts or that dramatic chewing gum masticators advertise their enjoyment.
