Book Description
Bugger Off And Leave Me Alone is the third of Vernon Coleman's six diaries. This is NOT a Bilbury book or anything like it. (The first two book the series are Diary of a Disgruntled Man and Just Another Bloody Year and the fourth is The Return of the Disgruntled Man. The fifth is 'Life on the Edge'. The sixth is The Rantings of a Maddened Englishman.' Full of dry humour and irony. None of these books are suitable for the bigoted , the humourless, the overly sensitive or the earnestly politically correct. A book for those who question and laugh at the absurdities of modern life and have little respect for those who rule our lives without so much as a nod in the direction of democracy and justice.Vernon Coleman is the author of over 100 books which have sold more than two million hardback and paperback copies in the UK and been translated into 25 languages. His novel Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War was turned into an award winning movie.

Book Description
"A subtle book for the sophisticated and discerning reader looking for irony and political incorrectness salted with occasional enlightenment and a peek into some other poor devil's daily burdens.The hardback edition is also useful for propping open doors. Sadly this facility is not available with the ebook."The Diary of a Disgruntled Man is the first of Vernon Coleman's series of diaries - for the year 2011. Please do NOT buy this book expecting it to be like the Bilbury books etc. (Other diaries include `Just Another Bloody Year', 'Bugger off and Leave Me Alone' ,'The Return of the Disgruntled Man', 'Life on the Edge' and 'The Game's Afoot').This is a book for the politically incorrect who question and laugh at the absurdities of modern life and who have little respect for those who rule our lives without a passing nod in the direction of democracy and justice. The Diary of a Disgruntled Man is wild, original, tough, revealing, laugh out loud funny, heart breakingly sad and always painfully honest. It is unsuitable for the overly sensitive and politically correct.The revealing flashbacks about Vernon's life as a GP, police surgeon, television presenter, best-selling author, newspaper columnist and publisher make it the closest thing Vernon will ever write to an autobiography.But it is more than an autobiography; it is a social commentary in the tradition of Samuel Pepys and in the tradition of Pepys it is gloriously indiscreet and rather rude. `I am not going to edit my life,' said Vernon, when asked if he really wanted to leave everything in the book. The humour is sharp, ironic and very, very English.You will discover what (former Private Eye editor) Richard Ingrams threatened to tell (current Private Eye editor) Ian Hislop about Vernon (and Vernon's response) and what happened when Vernon officially applied for a job with MI5. The Diary of a Disgruntled Man is 240,000 words long and we have a large boxful of letters from readers who loved every page.Vernon Coleman is a qualified doctor and GP. He has earned his living as a professional author for over 30 years and his books have appeared in the Sunday Times bestseller lists and in bestseller lists around the world. His books have been translated into 24 languages and sold in over 50 countries. The film Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War was based on his novel of the same name. His bestselling medical books include Bodypower and How To Stop Your Doctor Killing You.

It was too late for me to realize, that the materials that we possess are like infected items that other publishers are scared to touch. They need to lose the identity of the former publisher, as they fear their shadow will haunt us in the future. I totally agree.

Book Description
Haditha Diary is a novel of the Iraq War set in an infamous town. Heroic, yet human, Americans fought a controversial war to uproot totalitarianism, blunt Islamofacism, and give the gift of hope. The under-recognized Christian faith of American heroes underpins the courage of fighting men in Haditha Diary. Beginning in 2002, Haditha Diary presents the story of the war through 2008. The setting is real, the story reflects actual events, and the names of heroes have been changed to protect people still fighting terrorism. Espionage, frontal assaults, and dirty-tricks culminate in a suspenseful ending when a "U.N. Mandate" floods a recently secured town with Al Queda terrorists who face off against the Marines. Treachery and patriotism abound in this thriller where battles and characters are barely fictional and always closer to the truth than the evening news. J.D. Cowart accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior in 1977. Called to serve and protect, he enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1991 and completed the USMC enlisted School of Infantry. After Meritorious Promotion to Corporal, he was commissioned an Officer of Marines. Cowart served as an Artillery Officer until 1999. He joined the Texarkana Police Department where he became a detective after three years. He was activated from the Marine Reserves in 2003 and made a Company Commander. He later completed the Marines' three-month Infantry Officers Course. The author began a second company command tour in 2005 and started preparing his Marines for the meat grinder that was the Iraq War. He earned a Bronze Star while serving as a USMC Infantry Company Commander in the notorious Haditha AO. "I thank God for the privilege of serving," he says. The author currently attends Trinity Baptist Church in Texarkana, Arkansas with his wife, Amanda and their two children, Fayeth and John Asher.

Book Description
BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Book Description
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice There’s no right way to keep a diary, but if there’s an entertaining way, David Sedaris seems to have mas­tered it. If it’s navel-gazing you’re after, you’ve come to the wrong place; ditto treacly self-examination. Rather, his observations turn outward: a fight between two men on a bus, a fight between two men on the street, pedestrians being whacked over the head or gathering to watch as a man considers leap­ing to his death. There’s a dirty joke shared at a book signing, then a dirtier one told at a dinner party—lots of jokes here. Plenty of laughs. These diaries remind you that you once really hated George W. Bush, and that not too long ago, Donald Trump was just a harm­less laughingstock, at least on French TV. Time marches on, and Sedaris, at his desk or on planes, in hotel dining rooms and odd Japanese inns, records it. The entries here reflect an ever-changing background—new administrations, new restrictions on speech and conduct. What you can say at the start of the book, you can’t by the end. At its best, A Carnival of Snackery is a sort of sampler: the bitter and the sweet. Some entries are just what you wanted. Others you might want to spit discreetly into a napkin.
