Elton: The Biography by David Buckley

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe - Pattaya...

One of music’s true global superstars and most admired figures, Elton John has sold an estimated 200 million albums worldwide to date, and continues to appear regularly in the singles charts, thanks largely to a series of high profile collaborations with new faces.

But he is loved as much for his outrageous personality and witty outspokenness as for his music: recent memorable outbursts have included a public comment that “people who charge £75 and lip-sync should be shot” and calling some pushy photographers “rude, vile pigs.” 
He has even admitted that, in one of his more comedic cocaine fueled moments, he phoned one of his management team “to tell him to do something about the wind outside my hotel room.” 
Such shamelessness and sheer silliness rivals anything uttered by punk rockers, yet it is so typically Elton: honest and wittily intemperate.

More Fool Me by Stephen Fry...

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe - Pattaya...

 

Stephen Fry invites readers to take a glimpse at his life story in the unputdownable More Fool Me.

 

'Oh dear I am an arse.

I expect there'll be what I believe is called an "intervention" soon.

I keep picturing it.

All my friends bearing down on me and me denying everything until my pockets are emptied.

Oh the shame'

 

In his early thirties, Stephen Fry - writer, comedian, star of stage and screen - had, as they say, 'made it'.

Much loved in A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster, author of a critically acclaimed and bestselling first novel, The Liar, with a glamorous and glittering cast of friends, he had more work than was perhaps good for him.

 

What could possibly go wrong?

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy.....

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe - Pattaya...

 

"They all crossed into forbidden territory.

They all tampered with the laws that lay down who should be loved and how.

And how much."

 

The year is 1969. In the state of Kerala, on the southernmost tip of India, fraternal twins Esthappen and Rahel fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family.

Their lonely, lovely mother, Ammu, (who loves by night the man her children love by day), fled an abusive marriage to live with their blind grandmother, Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), and their enemy, Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt).

When Chacko's English ex-wife brings their daughter for a Christmas visit, the twins learn that things can change in a day, that lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever, beside their river..

Her husband Nol, Palace confidante and master of the silk parasols that were symbols of the monarch's rank, struggles to keep her devotion.

Vernon God Little by D.B.C. Pierre

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe - Pattaya...

 

The riotous adventures of Vernon Gregory Little in small town Texas and beachfront Mexico mark one of the most spectacular, irreverent and bizarre debuts of the twenty first century so far.

Its depiction of innocence and simple humanity (all seasoned with a dash of dysfunctional profanity) in an evil world is never less than astonishing.

The only novel to be set in the barbecue sauce capital of Central Texas, Vernon God Little suggests that desperate times throw up the most unlikely of heroes.

Ancient Worlds: An Epic History of East and West by Michael C. Scott..

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe - Pattaya...

 

Acclaimed historian and TV presenter Michael Scott guides us through an epic story spanning ten centuries to create a bold new reading of the classical era for our globalised world.

 

Scott challenges our traditionally western focused perception of the past, connecting Greco Roman civilisation to the great rulers and empires that swept across Central Asia to India and China, resulting in a truly global vision of ancient history.

 

With stunning range and richness Ancient Worlds illustrates how the great powers and characters of antiquity shared ambitions and crises, ways of thinking and forms of governing: connections that only grew stronger over the centuries as political systems evolved, mighty armies clashed, universal religions were born and our modern world was foreshadowed.

The Secret of Secrets: The Secrets of the Golden Flower

by Osho.....

 

@ Canterbury Tales Bookshop - Book exchange - Guesthouse - Cafe - Pattaya...

 

This book is one of the most esoteric treatises in the world.

It will show you the way to become more than the body and the way to bloom, how not to remain a seed but to become a golden flower.

What, in India, they call the one thousand petalled lotus, in China they call the golden flower.

It is a symbol that represents perfection, totality.

Moreover, the flower represents the actualisation of the potential, the beauty, the grandeur, the splendour of being.

Dolores Claiborne has a confession to make . . .

She will take her time. Won't be hurried. Will do it her way, sparing neither details nor feelings. Hers or anyone else's.

This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Truth that takes you to the edge of darkness.

Dolores Claiborne has a story to tell and you'd better pay attention - or else.
