Histoire
Gary Thorn goes for a pint with a work acquaintance called Brendan. When Brendan leaves early, Gary meets a girl in the pub. He doesn’t catch her name, but falls for her anyway. When she suddenly disappears without saying goodbye, all Gary has to remember her by is the book she was reading: The Satsuma Complex. But when Brendan goes missing, Gary needs to track down the girl he now calls Satsuma to get some answers. And so begins Gary’s quest, through the estates and pie shops of South London, to finally bring some love and excitement into his unremarkable life.

Histoire
This is a self help-book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you. When James quit all forms of social media in 2019 he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f--king Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional real-life activities.

Where do comedians come from? Why is it that one person is a funny bloke down the pub while another actually makes a living by standing up in front of an audience telling jokes? And where does all that material come from? Well, young Lee McKillop used to wonder that too. Growing up in his parents’ pub, small and wiry in a world of bigger and chunkier specimens, Lee quickly learned that cracking jokes was a way to get attention.

Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them? These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

Histoire
'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'.

David Mitchell’s 2014 best seller Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse must really have made people think - because everything’s got worse. We’ve gone from UKIP surge to Brexit shambles, from horsemeat in lasagne to Donald Trump in the White House, from Woolworths going under to all the other shops going under. It’s probably socially irresponsible even to try to cheer up.

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....

Description
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).
Ce que les critiques en disent
"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)

The only book I've downloaded without trying out the sample first and I wasn't proved wrong by asumming I'd just enjoy his lovely voice and stories. The way he met Vic was so tenuous with just the right timing of life events that you shudder to think the world might never have know Vic AND Bob, the team. Was lovely to his mum, too. Aww.

Great, but why the f**k is this censored?
I love Bob Mortimer, and while he, by his own account, is a bad actor, this book comes across very well. It's quite well written, and though he's clearly not great at narration in the larger degree, in the smaller degree, and overall the audiobook does benefit from the author telling his own life story.
I have one major complaint, though, which is (as per my headline) why the fuck is this censored? He says "c**t" at one point (which to UK residents is a fairly common unisex toss-around pejorative for being a tool), and it's bleeped out. It's a book. Don't censor my books. Especially without telling me, and without understanding the meaning of the word in the geographical context it's used. And especially when the man who wrote it regularly uses similar words in his very public television work. It's like publishing George Carlin's 7 words you can't say on TV, and bleeping the lot of them. Get over yourselves. They're just words. And not even demonstrably or deliberately harmful ones.
Oh, I'm so very sorry, I have to censor myself now just to get this complaint about them censoring the expected words of an author who speaks that way published. Time to go back and add asterisks' despite everyone knowing what words I'm using, and this helping nobody.
Great book. Good, if iffy, read by the author. Censored for no f**cking reason.
