All Out War: The Full Story of How Brexit Sank Britain's Political Class
Tim Shipman
@pmdfoster @JoshNeicho Lord Frost takes it upon himself to define what Brexit was truly about, but I pulled Tim Shipman’s two histories of Brexit (“All Out War” and “Fall Out”) from my bookshelf and his name appears in neither index. Frost was a late substitute who scored two own goals.

Fever Pitch
Nick Hornby
So many nights and early morning hours listening to LPs. Rugby matches in our teens: cricket in our thirties. *That* Arsenal-Liverpool game (look in “Fever Pitch” by Nick Hornby, you’ll find it towards the back. Pool games. Noting Hill in the early 80s. Good times.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Comedies
William Shakespeare
@1gillianfrank1 Have you ever watched the BBC’s Upstart Crow series? Half hour comedies, William Shakespeare written by Ben Elton (Blackadder) as dickish bloke who’s not as smart as he thinks he is, great ensemble cast - how the greatest works of English literature might have happened.

Right Stuff
Tom Wolfe
If I were coaching Musetti (writes a former 4.5 player at best) I’d look at getting more out of the serve, which I think he hits to predictable targets. Still that match had the old Tom Wolfe “The Right Stuff” about it. “I’ve tried A! I’ve tried B! I’ve tried C!”
Out of stock

S.A.S.S.Y.: Based on a true story that hasn't happened. Yet.
Martin Keating
@sundersays This is similar, I think, to describing a movie about The Rapture and its aftermath as “Based on a true story (that hasn’t happened yet).” 😀 https://t.co/oTsi36ydK4

The Ascent of Man
Jacob Bronowski
@redhistorian @Sime0nStylites @Samfr @GavinBarwell @jamesjohnson252 @unherd Jacob Bronowski traces the idea to Copernicus’ 1543 “The Revolution of the Heavenly Orbs.” (“The word ‘revolution’ has an overtone now which is not astronomical, and that is not an accident. It comes from this time and this topic.)” “The Ascent of Man” (1973)

The Word for World Is Forest
Ursula K. Le Guin
@jbouie Mmm… no. Its story is derivative of “The Word For World Is Forest” by Ursula Le Guin. I doubt most people can quote a single line from the movie. The villainous Earthmen are just there to be booed at. No sale.
