Book ID/图书代码： 11320016B95117

English Summary/英文概要： From the author of the bestselling NEVER HIT A JELLYFISH WITH A SPADE comes a hilarious first novel, told entirely in list form.

1. Everyone loves a list
2. And this is a novel, told entirely in lists.
3. Have you ever wondered what your life might look like in little lists?
4. It might look something like this

This funny, surprisingly moving novel follows the everyday life of our list-making hero, from the very first bullet points at 10, through school days, first crushes, teenage kisses and first dates, clumsy sexual encounters and university, early career, serious falling-in-love and marriage, kids, divorce, professional meltdown and resurrection, frightening online dating, and miraculous new love again, aged 50.

If you read more lists than books, then this might just be the novel for you.

For fans of Adrian Mole and Nick Hornby and readers of all ages, MY LIFE IN LISTS is a novel for the listicle generation, a book to tickle funny bones and move hearts in equal measure.

My Life in Lists is a sweet, funny, poignant book about growing up, what life is like when you are an actual grown up, and how difficult it can all be. All told through lists. It’s clever, you must read it. The first page says it all:

Helpful Things to Know About This Book 1. I started writing these lists when I was 10.
2. Just after we’d studied the Ten Commandments at school.
3. I thought if God can say it all in 10 points so can I.
4. My mother always badgered me to keep a diary.
5. Because she always wished she’d kept a diary.
6. My dad preferred To Do lists because he was an engineer.
7. These lists were a kind of compromise.
8. I suppose these are my private To Do lists.
9. Except they are about what actually got done.
10. Let’s call them my What Actually Happened lists.
