Astonishing Rock Trivia
A juicy piece of trivia is like a beautiful fresh cut of protein. It needs to be handled just right. Some fillets of trivia work well as a question, others are best posed as a ‘Did you know’. Some have so much flesh on them that they are better served up as a whole story or essay. That is what you will find between these pages, a smorgasbord of trivia treats to feast upon. Like a buffet on a cruise ship, you can start at the beginning and work your way along, you can push in at any point for the one tasty treat that you want, or you can fill a small plate and come back over and over again. This is possibly the most complete book of Rock Trivia ever compiled and the morsels will astonish ...
Borderlines
In 1986, Charles Nicholl travels through Thailand to learn about the spiritual traditions of forest Buddhism in the north of the country. But interesting things have a habit of getting in the way. When Nicholl meets Harry, an old French Indochina hand, on the night train north with his tales of Kachin jade and Shan opium, it leads to a journey along the banks of the Mekong, into the Golden Triangle, and then across the border into Burma, in the company of the book's Thai heroine, Kitai.Often alarming but also sensual, it is beautifully told and a reminder that adventures still exist - among shaman spirit-summoners, in rebel hideouts, or in opium dens - for those prepared to cross borders, real, imaginary, or imposed.

Fake Plastic Love
“A keen, exuberant, unexpected story of friendship and ambition among the newly minted...I loved it.” —Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of A Hundred Summers Four bright young graduates charge into the real world with all the unfounded confidence of twenty-two. M., our narrator, is one of the few young women at her prestigious investment bank, who insists she will always prefer her signet ring to any diamond. Belle is M.’s college best friend, a whimsical romantic who escapes into the pretty world of her viral blog when tragedy strikes. Chase is Belle’s British-American on-again, off-again boyfriend. Equal parts fraternity bro and Savile Row, he is M.’s colleague and arch nemesis. Jeremy is M.’s new friend, an earnest, modern-day Gatsby, who would rather be piloting a hot air balloon than stuck behind his Wall Street desk. As they are pulled deeper into their new lives, style and substance—and dreams and reality—increasingly blur. In this fake plastic world, what do success and happiness and love even look like?
