If Youd Just Let Me Finish!
In November 2016 we woke up to the news that the forthright presenter of a popular television programme had become the most powerful man on the planet. His name, sadly, was not Jeremy Clarkson, but we might not have been any more surprised if it had been.
Because the world seems to have taken a decidedly odd turn since Jeremy last reflected on the state of things between the covers of a book. But who better than JC to help us navigate our way through the mess?
And while he's being trying to make sense of it all he's discovered one or two things along the way, including
- The disabling effects of being vegan
- How Blackpool might be improved by drilling a hole through it
- The problem with meditation
- A perfect location for rebuilding Palmyra
- Why Tom Cruise can worship lizards if he wants to
It's all been a bit unsettling.
But don't worry. If You'd Just Let Me Finish is Clarkson at his best. He may be as bemused, exasperated, amused and surprised as the rest of us, but in a world gone crazy, thank God someone has still got his head screwed on ...

Finish - The Killing of Osama Bin Laden
"There wasn't a meeting when someone didn't mention Black Hawk Down ."" - A senior Obama administration official, as quoted in The New York Times, 02/05/2011 From Mark Bowden, internationally bestselling and acclaimed author of Black Hawk Down and the preeminent chronicler of the actions of the US military and special forces writing today, comes an intensely gripping account of the hunt for and elimination of Osama bin Laden. With unprecedented access to key sources and his great gift for storytelling, Bowden takes us inside the rooms where decisions were made and where the action unfolded. The story focuses on bin Laden, who maintained a steady stream of despairing correspondence in hiding in the year before his death, and on President Obama, perceived by many as an anti-war candidate because of his opposition to the Iraq War, whose evolving views and enormous responsibilities have turned him into one of the most determined warriors to ever inhabit the White House. It details the rapid evolution of war-fighting methods over the last decade, as American special forces and intelligence agencies have adapted to fight non-state enemies like Al-Qaeda, and how they came together seamlessly in May 2011 to kill the world's most notorious terrorist. Tracing the operation in blow-by-blow detail, Bowden's book is an unrivaled account of the most high-profile special forces operation ever to have been undertaken, and a page-turning narrative of how the man behind 9/11 was finally brought to justice."

Albers and Morandi: Never Finished
An unprecedented catalogue exploring the affinities and contrasts between Josef Albers and Giorgio Morandi-two of modern art's greatest painters.
"Rarely seen together, the artwork of Josef Albers (1888-1976) and Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) shares many similarities. Although they never met, both artists worked in series as they explored difference and potential through their distinctive treatment of color, shape, form, and morphology. They were also both influenced by Cezanne. As master illusionists and experts in proportion, they tackle similar conceits from different perspectives. Albers focused on the effects of subtle or bold changes and interactions in color, while Morandi made still lifes that treat simple objects as a cast of characters on a stage, exploring their relationship in space.
Published on the occasion of the critically acclaimed exhibition Albers and Morandi: Never Finished, the book illuminates the visual conversation between these two artists. With the exhibition hailed by The New Yorker's Peter Schjeldahl as "one of the best ... I've ever seen," this publication brings this unusual, thought-provoking pairing to your home. Gorgeous reproductions are accompanied by a roundtable about form and color between the exhibition's curator, David Leiber; Heinz Liesbrock, the director of the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop, Germany; and Nicholas Fox Weber, the director of Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, as well as an essay by the Morandi expert and founder of the Center for Italian Modern Art, Laura Mattioli.

Is that Kafka? - 99 Finds
In the course of compiling his highly acclaimed three-volume biography of Kafka, while foraying to libraries and archives from Prague to Israel, Reiner Stach made one astounding discovery after another: unexpected photographs, inconsistencies in handwritten texts, excerpts from letters, and testimonies from Kafka's contemporaries that shed surprising light on his personality and his writing.
Is That Kafka? presents the crystal granules of the real Kafka: he couldn't lie, but he tried to cheat on his high-school exams; bitten by the fitness fad, he avidly followed the regime of a Danish exercise guru; he drew beautifully; he loved beer; he read biographies voraciously; he made the most beautiful presents, especially for children; odd things made him cry or made him furious; he adored slapstick. Every discovery by Stach turns on its head the stereotypical version of the tortured neurotic--and as each one chips away at the monolithic dark Kafka, the keynote, of all things, becomes laughter.
For Is That Kafka? Stach has assembled 99 of his most exciting discoveries, culling the choicest, most entertaining bits, and adding his knowledgeable commentaries. Illustrated with dozens of previously unknown images, this volume is a singular literary pleasure.

La Nuit Qui ne Finit Pas
Ce roman ne ressemble aucune autre fiction d'Agatha Christie. Il est construit comme une fable, et la petite histoire nous dit qu'il fut inspiré son auteur par l'autre grand-mre de son petit fils Mathew Pritchard, qui la tenait elle-mme du folklore gallois. Il n'aura fallu la romancire que six semaines pour écrire ce récit jailli spontanément sous sa plume et dont le titre lui a été fourni par un pome de William Blake. Michaels Rogers, le narrateur, tombe amoureux d'un terrain soumis un terrible sortilge. A mi-chemin entre le policier et le fantastique, un roman inattendu, longue confession d'un assassin qui reconnaît avoir choisi la mauvaise route...

Forgive My Fins- Hableányok kíméljenek
Lily Sandersonnak van egy titka.
Nem az, hogy halálosan szerelmes a Brody Bennett nevű jóképű úszóistenbe, akinek láttán a szíve úgy vergődik, mint egy partra vetett hal. Bár a viszonzatlan szerelmet még egy normális kamaszlány is nehezen éli meg, ennél lehet még tragikusabb a helyzet. Ha valaki félig ember, félig sellő, mint Lily, az végképp több, mint egy kis kaland.
A titok éppen Lily sellő volta, ami nem tudódhat ki, mivel ő nem is akármilyen sellő, hanem Thalasszinia hercegnője. Az is gond, hogy a sellők nem igazán hívei az alkalmi kapcsolatoknak - amint "kötődni" kezdenek valakihez, az érzés örökre szól.
Lily kísérlete, hogy elnyerje Brody szívét, kínos félreértések szökőárját zúdítja az érintettek nyakába. Bár a lány kész szembenézni a szerelmi áradat fenyegetően tornyosuló hullámaival, hamar rájön, hogy révbe érni nem is olyan könnyű, mint gondolnánk.
