Do you want to spend £10 for a hardback book with 100 barely filled pages, covered with this sort of nonsense? That's Richard Ayoade's "Afterthoughts".

Amazingly, British idiots have given £1.35 MILLION to a political party that
a) isn't yet an actual party
b) has 2 leaders that won't talk to each other
c) has 2 membership lists that have been referred to the ICO

At one with Love, at one with Grief: blind to the scattered things and changing skies.’

100 flats (so more than 100 people, and more than 100 cars) and only 6 "guest spots"
Sounds like a first-world-privilege recipe for disaster
At my mother's gated development, the 2-bed flat owners get spots nearer the building than the 1-bed owners.
And no guest spots!

Let’s just say this new book of Harper Lee pieces stands out for two important reasons:
The typeface is the largest I have ever seen in a book, a sure sign of padding.
And many of the pieces are two pages long, but then granted a full title page and two more blank pages just to do more padding.
