Description

The Becket List is a not entirely serious compendium of 'First World Problems' - the sort of stuff that drives us round the bend on a daily basis. How is it that atonal music, bus stations, cling-film and coat-hangers can bugger us up so comprehensively? Or passport control people, modern poetry, or just about anything you'll find in a typical hotel bedroom? Embracing both the inanimate - from allen keys to rawlplugs - and the animated (well, in some cases) - from your fellow-travellers to every third-rate waiter who ever walked the earth - this book is essential for your sanity. As such, this comprehensive A to Z provides a signal service to humanity.

Featured Reviews

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book.

In a time when everything is up in the air where we are living in unusual times this book is great to dip in and out of. It also reminds you of things we used to moan about constantly and probably took for granted. I also learn't a few things. I didn't know people who walk along checking their phones are 'Smombies'. This would make a great Christmas gift or just something to cheer someone up.
