THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Irby might be our great bard of quarantine.' New York Times 'Samantha Irby is the king of sparkling misanthropy and tender, loving dread.' Jia Tolentino Staring down the barrel of her fortieth year, Samantha Irby is confronting the ways her life has changed since the days she could work a full 11 hour shift on 4 hours of sleep, change her shoes and put mascara on in the back of a moving cab and go from drinks to dinner to the club without a second thought. Recently, things are more 'Girls Gone Mild.' In Wow, No Thank You Irby discusses the actual nightmare of living in a rural idyll, weighs in on body negativity (loving yourself is a full-time job with shitty benefits) and poses the essential question: Sure sex is fun but have you ever googled a popular meme? 'A laugh. A fart. A snort. Or some combination thereof. Be prepared to totally lose control of the noises that come out of your body while reading the latest essay collection from humor writer Samantha Irby.' Bustle 'The only writer who can make me laugh with abandon in public... Her signature irreverence is intact, of course, but it can't mask the heart she leaves bleeding on the page.' Elle 'Samantha Irby is hilarious... Nothing is off limits and I love it.' Candice Carty-Williams

Now Elias is being released from his psychiatric hospital, and Cyrus must decide if he's ready to trust the man who destroyed his childhood. His friend Evie Cormac, who has a gift for knowing when people are lying, isn't so sure. And as they seek the truth behind a double abduction case, past and present collide - with devastating consequences . . . If you love Lying Beside You, don't miss Cyrus and Evie in Good Girl, Bad Girl, When She Was Good, or Michael's brand-new book Storm Child.

Volume one of Spike Milligan's legendary memoirs is a hilarious, subversive first-hand account of WW2 'The most irreverent, hilarious book about the war that I have ever read' Sunday Express 'Close in stature to Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear in his command of the profound art of nonsense' Guardian ______________ 'At Victoria station the R.T.O. gave me a travel warrant, a white feather and a picture of Hitler marked "This is your enemy". I searched every compartment, but he wasn't on the train . . .' In this, the first of Spike Milligan's uproarious recollections of life in the army, our hero takes us from the outbreak of war in 1939 ('it must have been something we said'), through his attempts to avoid enlistment ('time for my appendicitis, I thought') and his gunner training in Bexhill ('There was one drawback. No ammunition') to the landing at Algiers in 1943 ('I closed my eyes and faced the sun. I fell down a hatchway'). Filled with bathos, pathos and gales of ribald laughter, this is a barely sane helping of military goonery and superlative Milliganese. ______________ 'That absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great man' Stephen Fry 'Milligan is the Great God to all of us' John Cleese 'The Godfather of Alternative Comedy' Eddie Izzard 'Manifestly a genius, a comic surrealist genius and had no equal' Terry Wogan 'A totally original comedy writer' Michael Palin

Public Talks 1. Can I see wholly? - 16 July 1972 Duration: 71 minutes Do we act casually, expecting division to end as a result of outer environment? Does change demand immediate attention and action? Freeing of the mind from conditioning and in that freedom bringing about a cooperative action. Can one who is conditioned by the past change totally? Will change come through analysis or is there a totally different approach? Is time needed to have relationship in which there is love and not division? Does one of the many fragments of the 'me' assume authority or is the mind free to look? Observation not investigation. Is there analysis if there are no parts? Is analysis a waste of time? Questions from the audience followed the talk. 2. What is it to be creative? - 18 July 1972 Duration: 76 minutes Not being deeply creative we escape from the fact of deep frustration. Is there insight only when the mind is free of belief? Insight without conclusion is creative action. Why does thought draw conclusions from insight and cling to the structure of control? I am isolated when I resist. Is aloneness insight into isolation? Moving in insight, relationship changes. Freedom from images is responsibility and love. The brain needs security to function. There is security in insight, which brings intelligence. When you don't compare, what are you? Questions from the audience followed the talk 3. Thought and its limitations - 20 July 1972 Duration: 85 minutes Can thought investigate something which is not of time, experience and knowledge? What is the mind that can enter into the dimension which has no word? Can there be a harmony in which division does not exist between the known and freedom from the known? Is the mind such a slave to words that it cannot see the movement of thought without the word? Will knowledge bring about a better world when used with the 'me'? When the body dies what happens to thought? If I am aware that I am neurotic, in that awareness am I neurotic? Questions from the audience followed the talk 4. Can the mind be totally unconditioned? - 23 July 1972 Duration: 84 minutes Society, culture and economic divisions have created images in us. Can the deep hurts of the mind be wiped away so that no mark is left? Will this be done through analysis? Who is analysing? Is hurt a problem if you do not move away from it? Does conflict destroy the brain? Is comparison an escape from 'what is'? Am I the word, the description, the thought? If I don't compare, what am I? Wanting to cross to the other side of the river becomes a problem. Questions from the audience followed the talk 5. Will the discovery of the cause of suffering end it? - 25 July 1972 Duration: 83 minutes Is sorrow ignorance of oneself? How does one go beyond loneliness? Can thought as measurement put an end to itself? When belief is threatened there is fear. Can the brain have security in which every form of fear has come to an end? Can the mind realize there is no security in the things that thought projects? The perception of truth is security. Can the mind invite joy? Can one help another in crisis? Questions from the audience followed the talk 6. Pleasure, joy and death - 27 July 1972 Duration: 92 minutes Does the mind have any existence apart from the thing to which it is attached? Why does the mind act from a series of conclusions of thought? How can I love you if I am attached to you? What is the actual activity of the structure of memory which is the past? Can the mind have an insight into conditioning and therefore tremendous energy to change it? How do I communicate love without the word? Is there anything permanent beyond death? Questions from the audience followed the talk 7.

He was perfect. Denim-blue eyes, a dazzling smile. And he hadn’t sent me a picture of his junk. Which is about as rare, these days, as a Dodo. When Sloane met Myles, everything fell into place. He loved a Martini almost as much as she did, shared her passion for four-cheese pizzas, and made her laugh harder than any episode of Friends. She’d found The One at last and she could finally delete Tinder, forgetting all those waste-of-space men she’d never have to date again. But then she finds out that Myles has a secret. A very big one. The fairytale is over. Her heart is blown to smithereens. Drowning her sorrows in Ben & Jerry’s can only get Sloane so far before she has to decide… Can she learn to love herself more than she loved the love of her life? And what if, after everything, she’s got Myles – and his secret – all wrong? No, We Can’t Be Friends is a brilliantly relatable, hilarious and feel-good novel that every woman with a waste-of-space ex HAS to read! If you’re a fan of romantic comedies by Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk, and TV shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin, pick up this laugh-out-loud book – you won’t regret it. Readers totally love No, We Can’t Be Friends: ‘I just adored this book!... It's a life story, honest and relatable, but it is also entertaining and hard to put down… A very relatable story as any of us who have gone through a long-term relationship breakup or a divorce will vouch for, but also very uplifting and heart-warming.’ Reading Tonic, ¿¿¿¿¿ 'Absolutely everything chick lit should be!... Did I laugh? You betcha! Did my self-esteem feel a bit of a boost? Yup! Do I feel a sense of hope that things will work out okay? Absolutely!... I'd say this book ticked all the right boxes for me... Page-turner!' One Page at a Time, ¿¿¿¿¿ ‘The perfect blend of wit, romance, and poignance.’ Goodreads Reviewer, ¿¿¿¿¿
