It is imperative to find a woman to blame for a man's crimes. Wow. This book is tiny in size, just 176 pages, and unobtrusive in cover and title, but it is a deeply emotive and political book, containing commentary on many different subjects— wome" Read more of this review » |

"This is a riot. Set in a Britain of 2023 where the Norman Conquest never happened, it's about Saxons and Norse and Celts all with their own little kingdoms, bickering and oppressing each other, on a shitty little island in northern Europe that no one"

"Oh my GOD I enjoyed this book.
The concept is pure genius. No Norman Conquest, massively alt history. Europe is mostly an Islamic caliphate, but Pan-Africa is the global power. No British colonising, so no USA. Pathetic rainy basket/charity case back" Read more of this review » |

| 89 pages of dialogue. easy read. funny. I have overheard conversations like this a few times, I know fellas like this, so I could understand where they were coming from. | |

"There is a lot to be said for having one really good friend and, on a regular basis, sitting stool-by-stool, and sharing the events of the day. Ah, I once had such a routine. A running dialogue where you don't have to explain obscure references and w"

“Charles Baudelaire: Get Drunk
One should always be drunk. That's all that matters; that's our one imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden that breaks your shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing.
But what with? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk.
And if, at some time, on the steps of a palace, in the green grass of a ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking up when drunkenness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, a star, the clock, all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that which sings, all that which speaks, ask them what time it is; and the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock will reply: 'It is time to get drunk! So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk; get drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose!'
-- Charles Baudelaire, tr. Michael Hamburger”
