'There is a theory that humans made lists before we invented writing. Adam Sharp's exquisitely arranged, addictively witty book of lists is the reasons why. He is the poet laureate of lists'
John Mitchinson, Senior QI Elf

'So much to disagree with in this book. And I mean that as a huge recommendation' Richard Osman

'Very funny and highly addictive. Adam Sharp, you weird genius' Russell Kane

Are you feeling down in the dumps? Is the chaotic, disordered nature of modern existence freaking you out? Are you feeling...listless?

In order.
