One Hundred More Book Reviews covers all kinds of books from novels to social theory, and reproduces the transcripts of a second selection of one hundred videos that the author posted on TikTok and YouTube between 2022 and 2024. Like volume 1, its fiction section is helpfully categorised by geographical area, and it includes reviews of poetry, medieval Christian theology and Western esotericism. Old and new are covered, but with an emphasis on more contemporary works. (And of course, let's not forget the future: science-fiction gets a good airing, along with 'Weird' and Fantasy fiction.) From Plato to Paul Auster, and quite a lot afterwards: if you've ever wondered where to start your serious reading journey, this may well be the introduction you are looking for. If you haven't, well, who knows, it may still be. Give it a try.

Hannah and Soraya are in the business of making rock music with a social conscience. The way Britain currently works, that means they're 'snowflakes', 'social justice warriors', 'virtue signallers'. They've learned to live with the mudslinging, but not happily.Worse than that. It's starting to overwhelm them.Then, out of the blue, they suffer a string of personal and professional crises. Their solution? A change of scene designed to: (1) keep the lid on a looming family cataclysm, and (2) draw artistic inspiration from the pre-musical roots of rock (but without the Beats' misogyny, plus in an eco-friendly car).Hannah and Soraya's Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip across America is a story about the value of family, friendship, left against right, the siren call of social media, celebrity vs. anonymity, creative integrity, true love, drugs & alcohol, literature, sexuality, the 'special relationship', what it means to be a millennial, what kind of world Generation Y is set to inherit.Amongst other things.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION, NOT A COMPENDIUM OF LOCAL FOLKLORE.Two old friends go for an evening stroll on Tunbridge Wells Common and find a mysterious figurine. Which is when their troubles begin. Bad dreams, disappearances, sightings of things that really shouldn't be there... and that's just the beginning.Three young women attend a party in the Calverley Grounds in the year 1900. It's a social occasion with a difference - in that it threatens to upend the entire universe.A local family unearths a spectacular stone circle, on a field which they own, just outside the town. Discovery of the millennium Or is it? (Answer: no).Just three of the five ghost stories in this brand new collection. And the other two are every bit as spooky ... if not more so

Please note: this is a work of fiction NOT a compendium of local folklore.Could there really be a gargantuan snake, sleeping the sleep of the ages, somewhere beneath a hillock, just outside Wadhurst? And are there other, equally strange, beings 'living' (if we can really use that term) beneath the same earth? Was there once a spectacular magical 'obelisk' sited in a local field? And, while we're on the subject, who, or what, is 'The Oilman'? Where did Dr Jenkinson's mysterious machine come from? Who was Simon Francis Geffers? Did such a person ever really exist? And how can anyone possibly explain that 'forty-foot wide spectre with teeth' we still keep hearing about?These questions - and others of a similar nature - are not entirely answered in this collection of seven long-ish ghost stories, covering more than a century in the village's history.

"I've looked down on life from a high mountain, Peter, and do you know what I saw? We're all just doing nothing, that's what " In the middle of the 19th century, the great French writer, Honor de Balzac, set out to write a fictional compendium of every aspect of humankind. An Evening at the Beach is a 21st century attempt to repeat the exercise "in 30 minutes", "for beginners", "for Dummies", or whatever the most modern phrase is. In brief, it's a lot shorter. Laid bare are humankind's most noble engagements with banality (Dog Hostelling, The Wedding Cake), its grapples with transcendence (The Utter Tat Milk Jug, Mrs Chalford), its genocidal manias (English Rifles), its self-destructive pathos (An Evening at the Beach), its sometimes futile struggles of conscience (Because You're Worth It, Not From the Embassy), its mad saintliness (The Ballad of Sally L Harvey & Martin S Taylor), some of which bursts out in a single evening (The Queen of the Fens), its wrong-turns, its redemptions, its inexplicable passion for shopping. An Evening at the Beach is, in intention, a bid to show what God might make of us from space. Somewhere along the way, it is the story of everyone.

Is justice best understood as flowing from a social contract, or is there something else going on? How can we explain the many divergent notions of justice throughout history? Is it even possible to give a separate account of justice (as opposed to, say, social convention or morality)? These are some of the questions considered in A New Theory of Justice. But there are other essays in here, other questions, and other (tentative) answers. Is it possible to talk about 'God' anymore? What kinds of minds do animals have, and how could we ever find out? And what about free-will: is it just a story we tell ourselves to help us navigate life and stay sane? Or not? The author has a master's degree and a DPhil, both in Philosophy.
