Words for the Road II

The Author George Manus released his first "ORDS FOR THE ROAD" in the spring of 2018.
This one he has dedicated to the "Inspiration", which, according to him, is because two thirds of the content is written in just a few weeks - something he thinks he could thank a wave of inspiration for.
He simply calls the book "WORDS FOR THE ROAD II" with subtitle: 117 short reflections and puns, and present them like the first one in both English and Norwegian.
Could it be a coincidence that this book contains 117 short reflections, and the first one 114?
The Authors lucky numbers are 14 and 17.
