From a Deadpool 2 fan favorite comes a "hilarious, raw" (Rolling Stone) memoir about love, sex, parenthood, work, substance abuse, and everything else that makes life wonderful and/or horrible. Updated with new material Rob Delaney is a comedy superstar. But if you're ever watched him steal scenes as Peter in Deadpool 2, binged his streaming series Catastrophe, encountered his raunchy and mischievous Twitter presence, or witnessed the hilarious and painful sharing he does in his stand-up, you already know that. In his first book, he traces his journey from middle-class theater geek to public menace to devoted family man and passionately engaged model citizen--from his youthful obsession (and pen pal relationship) with heavy metal band Danzig and an episode of drunken bungee jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge, to his court-ordered stint in rehab and the miracle of his son's birth. All together, these essays make clear why it is he is so darn lovable--and so f# %ing funny. Praise for Rob Delaney "Unlike some books by comics, Delaney's volume offers a rich, deeply considered (and yes, funny) look at his life. . . . A great read by any standard, but even more so for including stories about needing (and failing) to find a bathroom while jogging."--E Online "One of the most hilarious bundles of words we have ever read."--Vice "A book as funny, sincere, weird, wet, and wonderful as Rob Delaney himself."--Jimmy Kimmel "Heart-wrenchingly true tales exuding self-effacing whimsy and smart-guy charm."--Splitsider "Delaney has a knack for pinpointing what's hilarious and sad about adolescent bed-wetting and his own abundant body hair, but somehow the darkest chapters in this book] make you laugh hardest."--Entertainment Weekly "Rob Delaney has done it again Actually, this is his first book, so he has not 'done it again.' Actually, this book is so good, I doubt he will be able to do it again. He's peaked."--Judd Apatow "Rob's transition from tweets to book is like a gold medal sprinter winning the marathon the next day. I am jealous and angry."--Seth Meyers "WARNING: This book may cause involuntary seepage. Some funny, funny, funny, funny s*** from the most dangerous man on Twitter. The fact that he's just as funny in long form makes me want to vomit with envy."--Anthony Bourdain
Rob Riley was at the centre of debates that polarised views on race relations in Australia: land rights, treaty, deaths in custody, self-determination, justice system, native title and the Stolen Generations. Tragically he took his own life in 1996, shocking community leaders and citizens alike. Riley's life raises profound questions about our past, our present and our future.
George Manville Fenn (3 January 1831 in Pimlico - 26 August 1909 in Isleworth) was a prolific English novelist, journalist, editor and educationalist. Many of his novels were written with young adults in mind. His final book was his biography of a fellow writer for juveniles, George Alfred Henty. Fenn was largely self-educated, teaching himself French, German and Italian. After studying at Battersea Training College for Teachers (1851-1854), he became the master of a national school at Alford, Lincolnshire. He later became a printer, editor and publisher of some short-lived periodicals. Fenn's first story for boys, Hollowdell Grange, appeared in 1867. It was followed by a succession of other novels for juveniles and adults. He also wrote for the theatre and authored many historical fiction novels.
