Prion Books Ltd The Importance of Being Idle: A Little Book of Lazy Inspiration
Being a slacker is just as hard as being a workaholic--and ten times harder to justify. However, now when you are confronted by a disgruntled colleague's whining, uncomfortable silences can be abated by an immediate witty quotation from someone like George Meredith: To do nothing is the wisdom of those who have seen fools perish!. Cue smug satisfaction as colleague slithers away, frustrated. <I>The Importance of Being Idle</I> is tailor-made for those moments, containing hundreds of quotations from the likes of Aristotle, Dickens, James Thurber, Chaucer and G. K. Chesterton to name but a few. Broken down into a variety of subjects (Ambition, Crime, Getting Out of Bed, Protestant Work Ethic) the great and good of literature and history step forward to offer their erudite views (I like to have the morning well aired before I get up--Beau Brummel) in support of this necessary and revered (in-)activity. <I>The Importance of Being Idle</I>is invaluable to anyone who is vilified for having taken the most underrated of lifestyle choices. And, when you can prove that literature's most illustrious figures share your love of slacking, sceptics might just join you. --<I>Danny Graydon</I>

Methuen Publishing Ltd A Pocketful of Python: v. 5 (A Pocketful of Python)
A pocketful of Python in its slimness (64 choice pages) rather than in actual dimensions of breadth and height; I tried to fit this seven inch by five inch hardback into my pocket and it wouldn't go.<p>This is a gift-book, a present suitable for anyone who won't be put off by the picture of a plump and frankly naked Terry Jones on the cover or the image of Jones as the enormous Mr Creosote from the <I>Meaning of Life</I> film on the back. Terry Gilliam provides a preface in which he describes Jones as a great wobbly sack with many interesting orifices and Jones himself reveals the secret of Python script-writing to reside in the curries they ate together. The minuteness of the book is presumably a deliberate touch to offset all this obesity. In the book itself we are given two dozen of the best sketches and bits from the books, lavishly illustrated. It's always a joy to see Spam or Constitutional Peasants from <I>Holy Grail</I>, although the true fan who yearns for the Dead Parrot or Dinsdale and his enormous hedgehog will want to buy, or will already possess <I>Monty Python's Flying Circus: Just The Words Vol 1</I> and <I>Monty Python's Flying Circus: Just The Words Vol 2</I>. On the other hand, we might want to argue that the very quirkiness of this gesture, this tiny but beautifully produced book that by necessity omits most of Python, is somehow quintessentially Pythonesque. <I>--Adam Roberts</I>
