World According to Clarkson Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Jeremy Clarkson shares his opinions on just about everything in The World According to Clarkson. Jeremy Clarkson has seen rather more of the world than most. He has, as they say, been around a bit. And as a result, he's got one or two things to tell us about how it all works; and being Jeremy Clarkson he's not about to voice them quietly, humbly and without great dollops of humour. In The World According to Clarkson, he reveals why it is that: too much science is bad for our health '70s rock music is nothing to be ashamed of Hunting foxes while drunk and wearing night-sights is neither big nor clever; we must work harder to get rid of cricket; and he likes the Germans (well, sometimes). With a strong dose of common sense that is rarely, if ever, found inside the M25, Clarkson hilariously attacks the pompous, the ridiculous, the absurd and the downright idiotic, whilst also celebrating the eccentric, the clever and the sheer bloody brilliant. Less a manifesto for living and more a road map to modern life, The World According to Clarkson is the funniest book you'll read this year. Don't leave home without it.The World According to Clarkson is a hilarious collection of Jeremy's Sunday Times columns and the first in his The World According to Clarkson series which also includes And Another Thing; For Crying Out Loud! and How Hard Can It Be? "Brilliant, laugh-out-loud". (Daily Telegraph). "Outrageously funny ...will have you in stitches". (Time Out). Number-one bestseller and presenter of the hugely popular Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson writes on cars, current affairs and anything else that annoys him in his sharp and funny collections. Born To Be Riled, Clarkson On Cars, Don't Stop Me Now, Driven To Distraction, Round the Bend, Motorworld, and I Know You Got Soul are also available as Penguin paperbacks; the Penguin App iClarkson: The Book of Cars can be downloaded on the App Store.

Chaos & Sorcery BOHMEIER, JOH.

Książki obcojęzyczne / angielskie

Preface of Peter J. Carroll: The Chaos Current has recently spawned a number of excellent grimoires by practical sorcerers who write from hardwon experience. This book must rank amongst the best of them. I have had the honour of knowing and working with Nick Hall for some years and I have seen him perform many of the acts of sorcery that he writes of in this book. The results are often as awesome as is the presence of the man himself. Having conjured with Nick on many occasions, I would not relish the prospect of conjuring against him. Rather than invest belief in abstruse metaphysical theory, Nick has chosen here to build a system from an eclectic range of practical procedures culled from many cultures. Informing the whole treatise however is the chaoist meta-belief that belief structures reality. This is pragmatic magick at its best. Devise or discover a technique that seems worth investing belief in, and if you can validate it, include it in your grimoire, without worrying how or why it works. Many times in the course of reading this text I stopped to make a note of something that seemed well worth trying out. That, I think, is the mark of a useful book. Unless the vast majority of magicians work in complete isolation from their more public peers, then the ratio of civilians who merely collect magic books to actual working magicians may be estimated at ninety nine to one. This is a book for the one-percenters, although it may inspire a few of the rest to actually pick up a wand for a change. All it takes is guts and imagination, not much specialist knowledge is required.

‘Gone Girl plus . . . The must-have beach read this summer’ Telegraph ‘There’s something you should know before we go any further: my heart is in the wrong place. Now don’t say I didn’t warn you . . .’ Perhaps that’s why nothing in Alvie’s life has ever gone right? Until now. She can finally abandon her credit card debt - and her fruitless three-way relationship with Tinder and Twitter - when fate gives her the chance to steal her identical twin’s perfect life. It’s just a shame Beth had to die to make Alvie’s dreams come true. So begin seven days of sex, violence and unapologetic selfies - one wild week that sees Alvie break every rule in the book. She never did have much respect for boundaries. It might be madness, but rules are meant to be broken. Right? Mad is the first in the sexy, shocking and compulsively readable Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know trilogy. Praise for Mad: ‘So begins this caper that has Alvina up to her neck in designer labels, hot sex and trouble . . . outrageous - it kept me reading’ Daily Mail ‘A summer read to make you hotter than the weather outside . . . you’d be mad not to find room for this in your case’ Sun ‘I just read Mad in one go. I bloody LOVED it. Like Gone Girl, if Amy Schumer had written it. SUCH fun’ Bryony Gordon, bestselling author of Mad Girl ‘Trust us when we say that you won’t ever have encountered a character quite like Alvie Knightly - the often-drunk, sex-mad, always-sassy heroine . . . A brilliantly bonkers read’ Heat
