As They Slept: the Comical Tales of a London Commuter Andy Leeks

Publisher Marketing: The autobiographical tale of a stubborn, thirty something commuter, who wasn't prepared to lose a petty argument on Facebook. Please note that this book covers the first 3 months of Andy's challenge. You may wish to check out "As They Slept - A Year in the Life of a London Commuter" which includes all four parts. Infuriated by the snoozing passengers surrounding him, Andy posted a status declaring that sleeping on trains is a complete waste of time. His friends disagreed. In a bid to prove them wrong, Andy set out to write a book from start to finish on the daily commute. "As They Slept" (The comical tales of a London commuter) is a collection of comical tales of travel and trepidation, guaranteed to make you laugh. In his hugely successful first book, (which follows Andy on his first 3 months) Andy explains how to eradicate lost property, why women can't use their pockets, and exactly when it's ok to lie.
