''Rules are great. I love rules. Rules are what differentiate us from the chimps'—Kitty Flanagan.

'As we travel through life, we discover that many, many people are very annoying—and that is why we need rules. 488 rules for life is Kitty Flanagan's way of making the world a more pleasant place to live.

'In this book, Kitty Flanagan combines ancient wisdom with decades of experience and lots of time spent at home with her cat to provide four hundred and eighty-eight profound and challenging principles for how to live a meaningful life, from making sure you do a final check before exiting the toilet to not chewing with your mouth open. Gripping, thought-provoking and deeply rewarding, 488 Rules for Life offers an antidote to the idiot in your life: eternal truths applied to our modern problems.'

'Kitty Flanagan has been locked in an industrial freezer in Western Australia, been insulted about the size of her lady parts in Singapore and borne witness to the world's most successful wife swap in suburban Sydney. It's these valuable lessons from The University of Life that have taught her so many things, including the fact that one should never ever use a hackneyed and annoying cliche like 'The University of Life'.

'In these funny, true stories, Kitty provides advice you didn't even know you needed. Useful tips on how not to get murdered while hitch-hiking, how to break up with someone the wrong way, and the right way, why it's important to keep your top on while waitressing, and why women between the ages of thirty-seven and forty-two should be banned from internet dating.

'Bridge Burning and Other Hobbies is a collection of laugh-outloud, cautionary tales from one of Australia's top comedians.'
