Successful hunting today. Let me introduce you to the new treasures that came into my hands.
Love, Rockets & a Bloody Great Fish
“The first time Michael laid eyes on Claire, she was rescuing porn shop owner Paul de Luca from a shark attack – Paul lost his feet and Michael his heart. The last time he saw her she was laid out in the morgue, shot dead in a bank raid. Ten years later Michael is back in town to exorcise the ghost from his past. But then he catches sight of Claire, seemingly alive and well. Surely it can’t be her? But what if she really is alive, or worse, she’s still dead and he’s gone mad with grief? Michael’s journey to find out what’s going on will take him to he’ll and back.”
My life and strange times in television.
“Gawky and socially awkward, Louis Theroux might be an unlikely television star, but his award-winning
documentaries have won him millions of fans around the world. Now he turns his questioning eye on himself and wonders, why do people tattoo his face on their body and would it be wrong for him to encourage them? And are the same qualities that make him good at documentaries also making him bad at life? Insightful and funny, Gotta Get Theroux This takes us from Louis’ anxiety-prone childhood to an unexpectedly successful career that has seen him immersed in the weird worlds of paranoid US militias and secretive pro-wrestlers, get under the skin of celebrities and take his life in his hands investigating American prisons. As Louis woos his beautiful wife Nancy and learns how to be a father, he also dares to take on the powerful Church of Scientology. Just as challenging is the revelation that one of his old subjects, Jimmy Savile, was a secret sexual
predator, prompting him to reflect on the nature
of evil he has spent decades uncovering.”
“When you leave Ireland to spend your parents’ money, it’s called a gap year. When Ava leaves Ireland to make her own money, she’s not sure what to call it, but it involves:
*A badly paid job in Hong Kong, teaching grammar to rich children,
*Julian, who likes to spend money on Ava and lets her move into his guest room,
*Edith, who Ava meets while Julian is out of town and actually listens to her when she talks,
*Money, love, cynicism, unspoken feelings and unlikely connections.
Exciting times ensue.“
