A. A. Gill's memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon - driven to dry out, not out of a desire to change but mainly through weariness. He tells the truth - as far as he can remember it - about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk. Pour Me is about the blackouts, the collapse, the despair. Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon. Read by Dougray Scott.

Auch wenn wir sie nicht sehen können – unsere Engel sind immer um uns. Und sie sind keineswegs mystische, ferne Wesen, zu denen wir Menschen ehrfurchtsvoll aufschauen müssen, sondern echte Freunde, die Freude und Leichtigkeit in unser Leben bringen und uns liebend gern unterstützen, wann immer wir ein bisschen Hilfe von oben benötigen. Lebensnah und mit viel Humor zeigt Bestsellerautorin Anjana Gill, was Engel eigentlich sind, was sie mögen (und was nicht!), wie sie unseren Alltag versüßen, uns bei Schwierigkeiten helfen u.v.m.

Gill has taught screenwriting for 20 years at such institutions as Drexel University, the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and East Carolina University, and he’s noticed a common pattern among his students. First-time screenwriters are generally excited and full of ideas—until they hit a wall: “It feels good until they get somewhere between pages 20–30,” he notes. “Then, they run out of things to write about. Why is there nowhere else to go? Why is it so short? Where is the rest of the story? What do they do now?”

In response to overwhelming requests from readers who wanted to know how they, too, could weather downturns, Michael Gill has distilled his experiences into fifteen meaningful lessons. Some of these include: leap with faith (Gill accepted his Starbucks job immediately on a whim), let yourself be helped (pride is even more paralyzing than fear), look with respect at every individual you see (realize the potential in all who cross your path), and lose your watch (and cell phone and PDA) (our obsession with productivity produces madness, not gladness).
