Customer Review:
Bill Bryson has done it again.
Not only an amusing frolic around and in Australia, but also a very insightful historical dabble into this somewhat forgotten "planet".

2.The Punishment of Virtue: Inside Afghanistan After the TalibanThe Punishment of Virtue: Inside Afghanistan After the Taliban
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $7.65

Customer Review:
A terrific story, painful to read because of the many wasted opportunities. I wish this book were on any commander's reading list. Especially the Special Forces guys: an exercise in modesty and realpolitics.

Book Review: The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten years in the North Korean gulag, by Kang Chol-Hwan

from Knopf
Price: $3.90

Customer Review:
I'm not a huge fan of historical non-fiction, but I thought I'd take a chance on this book as my ancestry includes some transported to Australia so I was especially interested. Despite multiple of my best efforts, I never could get more than about a quarter of the way through this book. It seemed... more info

6.A Commonwealth of Thieves: The Improbable Birth of AustraliaA Commonwealth of Thieves: The Improbable Birth of Australia
from Anchor
Price: $9.24

Customer Review:
The limited scope of Kennealy's story, focusing on the first few years of the Australian experiment, allows for a really nice degree of detail in his telling about those years. The narrative style he uses makes this a very enjoyable history as well as a thorough one.
Not knowing much about... more info

7.The SonglinesThe Songlines
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $4.94

Customer Review:
The first sentence sounded promising:"In Alice Springs - a grid of scorching streets where men in long white socks were forever getting in and out of Land Cruisers - I met a Russian who was mapping the sacred sites of the Aboriginals." And indeed what follows in the next thirty or so chapters is a... more info

from Harpercollins
Price: $111.82

Customer Review:
For several years I've used snippets from this prayer book, but I hadn't acquired a copy of my own. I've been delighted to have the resource in its entirety.
