William J. Thomas

- A tourist travels for pleasure; a traveller takes pleasure in the travel itself. - A tourist shops; a traveller hikes. - A tourist takes a trip; a traveller sets off on a grand journey and okay, trips a lot. - A tourist is a gawker; a traveller, a walker. - A tourist is on vacation; a traveller, on a personal pigrimage. - A tourist is happy to get home; a traveller is happy to get home alive. - A tourist is often a guest; a traveller is always on a quest. It's a hilarious new romp as Thomas leads you down his own improbable and wacky paths-both primrose and perilous. This book, as William Thomas tells it, is for travellers, not for tourists. It is full of astonishing advice and brilliant suggestions, as well as wonderful stories from one of the world's real travellers.

Never Hitchhike on the Road Less Travelled (bad, Bad, Bad Idea!) : Hilarious Travel Tips and Misadventures on the Weird and Winding Road Taken By--

From William J. Thomas, author of the runaway bestseller The Dog Rules (Damn Near Everything!), comes the perfect companion: The Cat Rules (Everything, Including the Dog!). Hysterics and hijinks surround his handsome but devious companion Weggie, a clever little devil whose antics could cause the Pope to curse. The scourge of the screen door and a hockey player to boot, Weggie's story provides a spirited romp through life along the lake. With essential "rules" for successful human/cat cohabitation, including how to name your pet and rules for rookie owners, The Cat Rules is a must-have for anyone who loves (and occasionally scorns) their beloved pet. The Cat Rules as they apply to play Rule 1 Fully extended claws and completely bared fangs are signs that playtime is over. Rule 4 More catnip? The neighbours already think we're running a grow-op. Rule 6 You got yourself up there; you get yourself down. No, the fire department said next time they'd bill us. Rule 10 It's called "fetch." Dogs love this game. Now can I rest for a while? Please?
