First up - ‘The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared’ by author Jonas Jonasson Featuring my 95 year old neighbour, Mr T! Wearing brands Versace and Tods. The book follows an 100 year old man who on his hundredth birthday party escapes out of the window of his old people's home and does a runner – or more of a shuffle. Escaping (in his slippers) through his bedroom window, into the flowerbed, he makes his getaway. And so begins his picturesque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. Many people want to grow old but are afraid of doing so. But you can also experience ancient adventures, as the books protagonist, Allan proves.

Learning about sex has never been easier, the internet, television, magazines - pornography and eroticism are everywhere. But that doesn't mean that young people are better informed today than they used to be - on the contrary. Those who grow up today are mainly dealing with misleading ideals and false perfection. What is really important is intimacy, love and communication - which has no place in modern media. ‘Make Love’ takes us into the authentic and individual realities of different couples as an educational new book about love.
