James Acaster wakes up heartbroken and alone in New York, his relationship over, a day of disastrous meetings leading him to wonder if comedy is really what he wants to be doing anymore. A constant comfort in James' life has been music, but he's not listened to anything new for a very long time. Idly browsing 'best of the year' lists, it dawns on him that 2016 may have been a grim year for a lot of reasons, but that it seemed to be an iconic year for music. And so begins a life-changing musical odyssey, as James finds himself desperately seeking solace in the music of 2016....

Ramble Book is about parenthood, boarding-school trauma, arguing with your partner, bad parties, confrontations on trains, friendship, wanting to fit in, growing up in the '80s, dead dads, teenage sexual anxiety, failed artistic endeavours, being a David Bowie fan and how everything you read, watch and listen to as a child forms a part of the adult you become. It’s also an audiobook about the joys of going off topic and letting your mind wander. And it’s about a short, hairy, frequently confused man called Adam Buxton.

'Between the Stops is a sort of a memoir, my sort. It's about a bus trip really, because it's my view from the Number 12 bus (mostly top deck, the seat at the front on the right), a double-decker that plies its way from Dulwich, in South East London, where I was living, to where I sometimes work - at the BBC, in the heart of the capital. It's not a sensible way to write a memoir at all, probably, but it's the way things pop into your head as you travel, so it's my way'.

Story
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

Story
In his first memoir, Josh Widdicombe tells the story of a strange rural childhood, the kind of childhood he only realised was weird when he left home and started telling people about it. From only having four people in his year at school, to living in a family home where they didn't just not bother to lock the front door, they didn't even have a key. Using a different television show of the time as its starting point for each chapter, Watching Neighbours Twice a Day... is part-childhood memoir, part-comic history of '90s television and culture.

Publisher's Summary
The number one best seller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year by national treasure Bob Mortimer.
Bob Mortimer’s life was trundling along happily until, suddenly in 2015, he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him but forced him to reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious and moving memoir, And Away....
Although his childhood in Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss of his dad and his own various misadventures (now infamous from his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him ‘The Cockroach King’ after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on, the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led to new success on BBC2’s Gone Fishing.
Warm, profound and irrepressibly funny, And Away is Bob’s full life story (with a few lies thrown in for good measure).
Critic Reviews
"Delightful...it's a precarious world, but And Away...is a heartfelt testament to the magic of finding your happy place within it." (Sunday Times)
"Everyone will love this book." (Caitlin Moran, Times Magazine)
"Wonderfully entertaining and surprisingly poignant." (GQ)

Why censor an autobiography? Please don’t do that.
If you purchase an autobiography by someone like Bob Mortimer, you should already know what you might expect to hear from time to time. I for one don’t appreciate having certain words bleeped out. I want the book in its entirety because I am an adult and am happy to hear and use every word in the language.

Lovely book, lovingly told
I am American, with British family. I get exposed to a lot more UK TV shows and other pop culture than most Americans. I've seen Bob Mortimer on #WILTY many times and found him refreshing, charming, and intensely funny. So, I had to get this book! What a lovely book!
It takes you through a breezy, casual journey of Bob's life with hilarious anecdotes, lovingly recounted memories, and self-effacing humor. What I loved were the reflections on his relationships, which are strongly woven throughout. I learned so much about the man that it makes me respect his comedy and him even more.
The one thing I loved most was the reflection at the end about his mom. You could feel the love Bob has for his mom -- a love I have for mine (who has also passed). I won't spoil the specifics, but if that passage doesn't cause you to well-up a bit (or even cry), then you've lost your humanity.
Thanks for the laugh and the tenderness! Your mom (and dad) would be proud!

Just a brilliant special soul. Love you Bob!
Absolutely loved this. It’s amazing how someone can be so fragile for so long yet through relationships with people - that which he lacked and brought him the most fear in his earlier life- he would bloom into the wonderful and genuine person we grew up with and loved. Bob was always my favorite out of the Vic and Bob duo, and I think it’s because Bob always looked so happy and seemed to be having a bloody good time performing on stage. Little did I know, that this unbridled joy was coming from within a person that had that locked deep inside for so long. Everything Bob has done has been earned through hard work, perseverance, duty, and most of all love. Bless your beautiful heart Bob Mortimer. May your star be forever in our sky.

Like a lovely warm cappa choo choo
I love Bob. He is warm, wise, funny, self depreciative and humble (in a non-humble-brag way). My favourite chapters were about his childhood and the ‘before fame’ bit. And his recovery from heart surgery. I thought it would be LOLs all the way through but it was very tender and even a bit sad, in places.

Love Bob, very entertaining 5⭐
Narration was lovely as Bob himself. just like listening to one of his stories on 'would I lie to you' etc.
Very honest, self depreciating, quite sad in parts and hilarious too. Just made me love Bob more..❤
