Company underground

Today i finished a 'Jandamarra and the Bunuba Resistance' that whilst on the opposite side of the world, taught me more about the history of my home country than any teacher or book has attempted to pound into my, at times thick skull. I came across this book via another must read. Paul Kelly in his memoir 'How to make gravy' states that this book should be on all school syllabus's and denotes the main subject as a "True Australian hero". Such words from Sir Kelly told me i had to get a copy which i did before coming abroad. I'll no doubt pass my copy to Mum/Dad when they visit me soon. Do yourself a favor and either get a copy or be the first to visit them when they return.  

For someone that has struggled to find interesting literature in the past, i now find the best way is to takes down recommended/referenced pros from pros I'm reading. Autobiographies (or as they are more modernly know as memoirs or chronicles) are i think my favorite and best for finding ideas for your next book. I don't think Ive ever done this before but today i finished said book and immediately started the next. That being a freshly purchased (with my BDO gifted voucher  - thanks guys) 'The Fry Chronicles'. 21 pages in and enjoying it thoroughly. Have laughed out loud on the tube several times already. Oh yer and its a UK no.1 bestseller so cant be to sedative. Anyway back to the window to read long into the daylight saved evening. MAH
