Friends Like These by Danny Wallace.

Danny Wallace is about to turn thirty and his life has become a clich‚. Recently married and living in a smart new area of town, he's swapped pints down the pub for lattes and brunch. For the first time in his life, he's feeling, well . grown-up.

But something's not right. Something's missing. Until he finds an old address book containing just twelve names. His best mates as a kid. Where are they now? Who are they now? And how are they coping with being grown-up too?

And so begins a journey from A-Z, tracking down and meeting his old gang. He travels from Berlin to Tokyo, from Sydney to LA. He even goes to Loughborough. He meets Fijian chiefs. German rappers. Some ninjas. And a carvery manager who's managed to solve time travel. But how will they respond to a man they haven't seen in twenty years, turning up and asking if they're coming out to play?

Part-comedy, part-travelogue, part-memoir, Friends Like These is the story of what can happen when you track down your past, and of where the friendships you thought you'd outgrown can take you today...

Yes Man by Danny Wallace.

'I, Danny Wallace, being of sound mind and body, do hereby write this manifesto for my life. I swear I will be more open to opportunity. I swear I will live my life taking every available chance. I will say Yes to every favour, request, suggestion and invitation. I WILL SWEAR TO SAY YES WHERE ONCE I WOULD SAY NO.'
Danny Wallace had been staying in. Far too much. Having been dumped by his girlfriend, he really wasn't doing the young, free and single thing very well. Instead he was avoiding people. Texting them instead of calling them. Calling them instead of meeting them. That is until that one fateful date when a mystery man on a late-night bus told him to 'Say Yes more'. These three simple words changed Danny's life forever. Yes Man is the story of what happened when Danny decided to say YES to everything, in order to make his life more interesting. And boy, did it get more interesting.


Join Me by Danny Wallace.

WANTED: 100 people to live in my new world order. A perfect utopia of our own design. No riff- raff, convicts or bongos. Please note: no space travel will be involved in this project. Cult- seekers need not apply. If still interested, go to www.join- me.co.uk to sign up. In one of the most original books of the year, Danny Wallace, award- winning journalist, and co- author of ARE YOU DAVE GORMAN?, places an advert on the internet and waits- Inspired by stories of his great uncle Gallus and his failed attempts to set up a commune in post- war Switzerland, Danny tries to do the same and this time succeed. He will travel anywhere, meet anyone. And he'll take it very, very seriously. JOIN ME is the magnificent story of his attempt to recruit 100 people to create a perfect world. But what will that be? Where will they live? Will they have rules? Will they agree on anything? Is one man's Heaven another man's Hell? This modern take on Utopia, will say a million things about the world in which we live. And if you've read ARE YOU DAVE GORMAN? you'll know that it will be very, very funny.
