BOOKLIST
Australian History
The next meeting of the Book Discussion Group
will be on Wednesday 13 February 2013 at 6 pm &
Thursday 14 February at 10.30am
Australia's history traces back to the ancient times of Gwondaland, the dinosaurs,
the Aborigines right through to the colonisation of the country by the English, the
World Wars and the modern era. The past is preserved through the interpretation of
those who tell the story. Through the understanding of the past we begin to
understand the present and possibly the future.

& Popular Culture and Professor of Critical Studies in the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Dr. Boyd, an

Anderson, Peter.
Silent body, vibrant mind: living with motor
neurone disease
Melbourne, Vic.: Brolga, ©2012.
Summary: This is a love letter about life,
love and family. In 2001 Peter Anderson
was 37 and had the perfect life: very much
in love and recently married, an infant
daughter he adored, an intelligent and
sensitive man working a job he loved as a
popular secondary school teacher and a
talented sportsman training for a
marathon...The bubble was about to burst.
Peter was diagnosed with Motor Neurone
Disease (MND), a physically crippling
debilitating disease that destroys nerve
cells controlling muscular movement. His
life expectancy was two years. Incredibly,
eleven years on, despite Peter's body
wasting away, his mind remains as it has
always been, strong and vibrant, intelligent,
enquiring, touched with gentle humour. An
unforgettable story about what matters in
life.

Steve Bracks had achieved the goal he'd
set himself nine years earlier. He was
Premier of Victoria. In A Premier's State he
reveals for the first time the background to
his decision to take the party's leadership

to hand it back to John in 2007 when he
sensationally resigned from office.
320.9945/BRA
Briggs, Ginger.

Mulgrave, Vic.: Hardie Grant, 2012.

given up at birth, his adoptive father was a
violent drunk, his adoptive mother a

of confusion, fear abuse. It wasn't until he
met the kind-hearted Miriam that Andrew
found a parent figure he trust, and the hope
of happiness that had eluded him
throughout childhood.

Clarkson, Jeremy.
The Top gear years.
London: Michael Joseph, 2012.
Summary: We now know all about -- the
world according to Clarkson. In a series of
bestselling books, Jeremy has revealed it to
be a puzzling, frustrating place where all
too often the lunatics seem to be running
the asylum. But in The Top Gear Years, we
get something rather different.

Drewe, Robert, 1943Montebello : a memoir.
Melbourne, Vic.: Hamish Hamilton, 2012.
Summary: Montebello continues where
Robert Drewe's much-loved memoir The
Shark Net left off, taking us into his mature
years. In the aftermath of events, both manmade and natural, that have left a
permanent mark on the landscape and
psyche of Western Australia - the British
nuclear tests in the Montebello Islands, the
mining boom, and shark attacks along the
coast - Drewe examines how comfortable
and familiar terrain can quickly become a
site of danger, and how regeneration and
renewal can emerge from chaos and loss.
With humility, wit and a clear-eyed view of
himself, he intertwines these stories with
the events of his own life. His passion for
islands - which began with Rottnest Island
in his youth and continues to this day frames the narrative; in the near-solitude of
these remote places, he is free to reflect.
This is a moving story of what it means to
see and survive destruction, to love and to
grow old.

Echols, Damien.
Life after death: the shocking true story of
an innocent man on death row.
Summary: In 1993 three teenagers, Damien
Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelley
Jr were arrested and charged with the
murders of three eight-year-old boys in
West Memphis, Arkansas. The ensuing trial
was rife with inconsistencies, false
testimony and superstition. Echols was
accused of, among other things, practising
witchcraft and satanic rituals - a result of
the 'satanic panic' prevalent in the media at
the time. Baldwin and Miskelley were
sentenced to life in prison. Echols, deemed
the ringleader, was sentenced to death. He
was eighteen years old. In a shocking
reversal of events, all three were suddenly
released in August 2011. This is Damien
Echols' story in full: from abuses by prison
guards and wardens, to descriptions of
inmates and deplorable living conditions, to
the incredible reserves of patience,
spirituality, and perseverance that kept him
alive and sane for nearly two decades.

Elkerton, Gary.
Kong/
Sydney: ABC Books, 2012.
Summary: I was an arrogant foolish young
man with talent, celebrity and opportunity
but without a shred of respect for my
blessings. The problem of course is that
cocaine is the perfect enabler for just this
kind of dickheadedness. In the world of pro
surfing personalities don't come any bigger
than Gary Kong Elkerton.

Fevola, Brendan.
Fev: in my own words
Melbourne, Vic.: Hardie Grant, 2012.
Summary: The sports autobiography of the
year. Tells the story of Brendan Fevola's
controversial life, his AFL accomplishments
and the turbulence of his life. For fans of
Ben Cousin's biography.
796.336/FEV
Fitzpatrick, David.
Sharp: a memoir.
New York: William Morrow & Co, 2012.
Summary: Sharp is the story of a young
man who began his life with a loving family
and great promise for the future. But in his
early twenties, David Fitzpatrick became so
consumed by mental illness it sent him into
a frenzy of cutting himself with razor blades.
In this shocking and often moving book, he
vividly describes the rush this act gave him,
the fleeting euphoric high that seemed to fill
the spaces in the rest of his life. It started a
difficult battle from which he would later
emerge triumphant and spiritually renewed.
920/FIT
Franklin, Roger.
Fev: unauthorised : the biography of
Brendan Fevola, football's flawed genius.
Richmond, Vic.: Slattery Media Grp, 2012.
Summary: Brendan Fevola is a football
enigma. Revered for his goal kicking feats
at Carlton, he had the talent to be one of his
clubs all-time greats. Fevola was every
clubs dream: he was quick on the lead, a
strong mark and a prodigious kick. But as
Carlton discovered over an 11-year journey,
he was every clubs worst nightmare.
796.336/FEV
Gill, Richard (Richard James)
Give me excess of it.
784.2/GIL
Hart, David.
Summary: Pro Hart: Dying to be Heard is
an inspirational story of success, betrayal
and tragedy. Pro Hart rose to become one
of Australia's greatest icons, against all
odds he achieved both National and
International fame and success. He was the
Ned Kelly of the art world and stood high
ground against popular thinking. He was
without a doubt the greatest artist in our
nations history and a source of inspiration
to all who knew him. Pro Hart proved to the
world that everyday ordinary people are
capable of living purpose driven and
extraordinary lives. That each one of us as
human beings are significant and that
individually we all carry the potential for
greatness.

King, Ross, 1962Leonardo and the Last supper.
London: Bloomsbury, 2012.
Summary: Milan, 1496 and forty-four-yearold Leonardo da Vinci has a reputation for
taking on commissions and failing to
complete them. He is in a state of
professional uncertainty and financial
difficulty. For eighteen months he has been
painting murals in both the Sforza Castle in
Milan and the refectory of the convent of
Santa Maria delle Grazie. The latter project
will become the Last Supper, a complex
mural that took a full three years to
complete on a surface fifteen feet high by
twenty feet wide. In Leonardo and the Last
Supper, Ross King tells the complete story
of this creation of this mural: the adversities
suffered by the artist during its execution;
the experimental techniques he employed;
the models for Christ and the Apostles that
he used; and the numerous personalities
involved - everyone from the Leonardo's
young assistants to Ludovico Sforza, the
Duke of Milan who commissioned the work.

Richmond, Vic: Hardie Grant, 2012.
Summary: Compared to the controversies
of contemporary cricket- riven as it is with
match-fixing, gambling, cheating and
national politics - most people think of the
early days of Test cricket as a time of
gentlemanly competition and camaraderie,
with any disputes settled by Queensberry
Rules over a glass of port. Not so.

and unexpected chapter of her own life:
grandmotherhood. Stunned to learn that her
son, Sam, is about to become a father at
nineteen, Lamott begins a journal about the
first year of her grandson Jax's life. Lamott
writes about the complex feelings that Jax
fosters in her, recalling her own
experiences with Sam when she was a
single mother. Over the course of the year,
the rhythms of life, death, family, and
friends unfold in surprising and joyful ways.

baby changes a family.

O'Brien, Edna.
Country girl.
London: Faber, 2012.
Summary: Born in Ireland in 1930 and
driven into exile after publication of her
controversial first novel, "The Country
Girls", O'Brien has created a body of work
which bears comparison with the very best
writers of the twentieth century. In "Country
Girl" we come face to face with literary life
of high drama and contemplation. And
along the way there are encounters with
Hollywood giants, pop stars and literary
titans - all of whom lend this life, so
gorgeously, sometimes painfully
remembered here, a terrible poignancy. In
prose which sparkles with the effortless
gifts of a master in her ninth decade, Edna
O'Brien has recast her life with the
imaginative insight of a poet. It is a book of
unfathomable depths and honesty.

Spitz, Bob.
Dearie: the remarkable life of Julia Child.
New York: Knopf, 2012.
Summary: It is rare for someone to emerge
in America who can change our attitudes,
our beliefs, and our very culture. It is even
rarer when that someone is a middle--aged,
six-foot three-inch woman whose first
exposure to an unsuspecting public is
cooking an omelet on a hot plate on a local
TV station. And yet, that is exactly what
Julia Child did. The warble voiced doyenne
of television cookery became an iconic cult
figure and joyous rule breaker as she
touched off the food revolution that has
gripped America for more than fifty years.
Julia Child was a gawky young woman who
joined a spy agency during World War II.
She eventually settled in Paris, where she
learned to cook and collaborated on the
writing of what would become Mastering the
Art of French Cooking, a book that changed
the food culture of America. Julia became
the first educational TV star, her marriage
to Paul Child formed a decades long love
story. A fearless, ambitious, supremely
confident woman, Julia took on all the
pretensions that embellished Tony French
cuisine and fricasseed them to a fare-theewell, paving the way for everything that has
happened since in American cooking, from
TV dinners and Big Macs to sea urchin
foam and the Food Channel.

Stephenson, Pamela.
The varnished untruth: my story.
Summary: This is the autobiography of
Pamela Stephenson, the wife of Billy
Connolly and renowned writer and actress
in her own right. I am darn good at getting
under other people's skin, but opening up
about my own life is quite a different matter.
So how shall I portray myself? There are
choices, you know: Wife, mother,
psychologist, writer, comedian, actor,
dancer, diver, gypsy, dreamer, rich girl,
poor girl, beggar girl, thief. I am all of those
and more. Tell you what, you decide. You
decide exactly what I am. A complicated
childhood in Australia, a bold move to
London, being a woman in a man's world
on Not the Nine O'Clock News, becoming
Mrs Billy Connolly, motherhood, career
changes and then Strictly Come Dancing told in her own inimitable style, The
Varnished Untruth is Pamela Stephenson's
own story.
791.45/STE
Stewart, Rod.
Rod: the autobiography.
Summary: Rod Stewart was born workingclass son of a Scottish plumber in North
London. He was never, as some stories
later had it, a professional footballer or a
gravedigger, though he did become a bit of
a singer - and a fairly good one at that. This
book tells the story of a guy with one hell of
a voice and one hell of a head of hair.

With the election of a new pope just a short time away, this theme is most appropriate.
The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't
true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth. By Ram Dass |
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.
Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. By Dalai Lama
People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the
long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars,
and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. By St. Augustine
It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may
not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit. But that doesn't
mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from you action.
But if you do nothing, there will be no result. By Gandhi

America's last great wilderness From
Nunavut and the Barren Lands of Canada
to the westernmost edge of Alaska and
back to Churchill, Manitoba, Pete Dunne's
experiences in the Arctic comprise
wilderness, laughter, and contemplation.
Whether hunting caribou, examining the
balance between the needs of molting

and the importance of the Arctic, the

completely new branch of Australian
tourism. Eccentric drivers, mad passengers

always a fierce determination to bring the
show back home.

915.5/MOH
Moody, Paul, 1966The search for the perfect pub: looking for
the Moon Under Water
Summary: George Orwell, a man fond of a
pint, used to write about his fantasy pub,
The Moon Under Water, in his Evening
Standard columns - 'two minutes from the
bus stop where drunks and rowdies never
seemed to find their way where there was
no music and motherly barmaids called you
dear while pouring pints in red china mugs'.
That was the 1940s; today our high streets
have been taken over by cheapened identikit lounge bars (the Wetherspoon's chain
has 14 Moon Under the Waters) and the
pub, as a cornerstone of British life, has
never been more under threat. What with
smoking bans and the cost of a round being
roughly equivalent to the price of a
multipack from a supermarket, there are
something like 57 pubs closing every
week.In searching for the perfect pub Paul
Moody and Robin Turner head off in pursuit
of pubs that fizz with independence and a
true frontier spirit, along the way raising a
glass to 2000 years of British brewing
history. It's partly an account of their road
trip around Britain researching the Rough
Pub Guide; and partly a deeper
investigation into why British pub culture is
the toast of the world.

Roach, Mary.
Packing for Mars: the curious science of life
in space
Oxford: Oneworld, 2010.
Summary: Space is devoid of the stuff
humans need to live: air, gravity, hot
showers, fresh veg, privacy, beer. How
much can a person give up? What happens
when you can't walk for a year? Is sex any
fun in zero gravity? As Mary Roach
discovers, it's possible to explore space
without ever leaving Earth. From the space
shuttle training toilet to a 17,000-mile-perhour crash test of NASA's space capsule,
she takes us on a surreally entertaining trip
into the science of living in space.

in the history of the world, not simply of the
West.
910.92/BLI
Saro-Wiwa, Noo, 1976Looking for transwonderland : travels in
Nigeria.
London: Granta, 2012.
Summary: Noo Saro-Wiwa was brought up
in England, but every summer she was
dragged back to Nigeria - a country she
viewed as an annoying parallel universe
where she had to relinquish all her creature
comforts and sense of individuality. Then
her father, activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was
murdered there, and she didn't return for 10
years. Recently, she decided to rediscover
and come to terms with the country her
father loved. She travelled from the
exuberant chaos of Lagos to the calm
beauty of the eastern mountains; from the
eccentricity of a Nigerian dog show to the
empty Transwonderland Amusement Park Nigeria's decrepit and deserted answer to
Disneyland. She explored Nigerian
christianity, delved into its history of slavery,
examined the corrupting effect of oil,
investigated Nollywood. She found the
country as exasperating as ever, and
frequently despaired at the corruption and
inefficiency she encountered. But she also
discovered that it was far more beautiful
and varied than she had ever imagined,
and was seduced by its thick tropical
rainforest and ancient palaces and
monuments. Most engagingly of all she
introduces us to the people she meets, and
gives us hilarious insights into the Nigerian
character, its passion, wit and ingenuity.
916.69/SAR

in nursing.

and more than enough unpredictable turns of events in any young
life. While at times shocking in her frankness, Howarth is never
self-pitying or bitter. Her natural gift for storytelling, her cast of
larger-than-life characters, including Mamma (her grandmother),
whose presence looms large from the outset, her vivid sense of

the most compelling memoirs of the year.

NED KELLY AWARDS
The next meeting of the
Book Discussion Group
will be on
Wednesday 9 October
at 6 pm
The Ned Kelly Awards are Australia‘s oldest and most prestigious prizes honouring
our crime fiction and true crime writing. The awards began in 1995 after a group of
crime writers, academics, publishers and journalists hatched the plan over a long
Sydney lunch. Among those present were Peter Milne from Abbey‘s bookshop,
academic Noel King, crime novelist John Dale and Stuart Coupe, journalist and co
founder/co editor of Mean Streets crime magazine.
When it came to deciding on a name, co-opting the nation‘s most infamous villain
seemed a natural fit. Known affectionately as ‗The Neds‘, the awards have grown in
importance and scope with more categories, more entries and greater acclaim for the
winners, who read like a Who‘s Who of Australian crime writing.
Today the categories are Best Fiction, Best First Fiction, True Crime and the Sandra
Harvey Short Story Award.
