You've Been Pooping All Wrong by Trisha Pasricha
Rate this book
Clear rating
This a terrific, well-written, funny book about a subject no one talks about in polite company. But as pretty much all of us poop, fart, wipe our bums, etc., it deserves a wider audience. Some key tips: everyone needs more fibre in their diets (and p ...more

Forsyth's previous book, Day of the Jackal, was a master class in how to write a thriller. This -- not so much. A plodding plot, cardboard characters, inept and easily defeated villains -- if I'd read this one first, I would never have read Jackal. A ...more
