Professeur de linguistique fraîchement retraité, il consacre son ordinaire à la lecture du "Guardian", aux activités culturo-mondaines de son épouse, dont la boutique de décoration est devenue la coqueluche de la ville, et à son père de plus en plus isolé là-bas dans son petit pavillon londonien.

Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them? These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

“Genius ... It is miraculous to read these pieces ... You must read The Best of Me.” —Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times Book Review For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned...

David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

David Mitchell, who you may know for his inappropriate anger on every TV panel show except Never Mind the Buzzcocks, his look of permanent discomfort on C4 sex comedy Peep Show, his online commenter-baiting in The Observer or just for wearing a stick-on moustache in That Mitchell and Webb Look, has written a book about his life.

Kieran's love life didn't get off to a good start. He threw up after his first kiss; he was beaten up by the first girl to have a crush on him; and after a mix-up with his first love letter, he could only sit back and watch as the entire school mistook him for a brutal murderer. By the time the hormones kicked in, Kieran had all but given up on love, but the worst was yet to come.

Urlaub von der Rente. Seit über einem Jahr gibt es in dem beschaulichen Klein-Freudenstadt keine ungeklärten Todesfälle mehr. Eigentlich eine gute Nachricht für alle Bewohner des Örtchen in der Uckermark, nur für Angela Merkel nicht. Sie sehnt sich nach dem Thrill der Ermittlung, denn nichts hatte der Rentnerin so viel Freude bereitet wie die Detektivarbeit. In ihrer Verzweiflung hat sich Angela ein neues Hobby gesucht, von dem sie allerdings noch nicht einmal ihrem Ehemann Achim erzählt hat. Die gebuchte Ostsee-Kreuzfahrt soll etwas Abwechslung verschaffen – und ganz nebenbei Erkenntnisse für ihr neues Hobby liefern.

Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change.

How identity politics failed one particular identity. Jews Don’t Count is an audiobook for people who consider themselves on the right side of history. People fighting the good fight against homophobia, disablism, transphobia and, particularly, racism. People, possibly, like you. It is the comedian and writer David Baddiel’s contention that one type of racism has been left out of this fight.

Sin embargo, tras la primera sesión su terapeuta, el doctor Fenstermacher, salta por los aires en una explosión en su casa flotante. Esto curiosamente mejora mucho el ánimo de Angela: por fin puede volver a investigar porque aunque el inspector habla de accidente, ella ve indicios de asesinato. Lo que sí que no se esperaba es que las sospechas recaigan sobre ella.

Angela ist seit sechs Wochen in Rente und mit Mann und Mops in die Uckermark gezogen, genauer gesagt nach Kleinfreudenstadt, gelegen am schönen Dumpfsee. Nach dem turbulenten Leben in Berlin fällt es ihr jedoch schwer, sich auf das beschauliche Landleben einzulassen. Nur zu backen und zu wandern, wird dann doch schnell langweilig. Als jedoch der Freiherr Philip von Baugenwitz vergiftet und nur mit einer Ritterrüstung bekleidet in einem von innen verriegelten Schlossverlies gefunden wird, erwacht neues Leben in Angela.

Insanely creative and laugh-out-loud funny, Insults May Vary is a brilliantly original collection of satirical humor that takes listeners on a wildly imaginative ride through the quirks, contradictions, and absurdities of Western culture.

Den succesfulde tv-vært Kim Lange har endelig fået den store, eftertragtede fjernsynspris. Alligevel har det været en dårlig dag. Det værste øjeblik er, da hun får en glødende håndvask fra en russisk rumstation i hovedet og kommer til sig selv i en myretue med seks ben, følehorn og et abnormt bagparti. Kim forstår, at dette er den regning, hun må betale, fordi hun har samlet dårlig karma i sit liv. Men Kim har ikke lyst til at samle kagekrummer eller blive kommanderet rundt med af arbejdsmyrernes tyranniske leder, og hun kan heller ikke tillade, at hendes mand trøster sig med en anden. Hvad nu? Der findes kun én løsning: Hun må begynde at samle god karma.
