Who's it about?
I've lost count of how many books I've read this year, averaging about 1 a week. Finished off all the Matthew Reilly Jack West series, again, back over a few of his others, read Matt Preston's memoir (quite liked it), now I'm going through Luc Longley's account of his first championship with the Bulls. |

Cheers, I'll look into it. I'm picking up autobiographies from op shops lately. Knocked over Luc Longley's account of his first championship with the Bulls, and yesterday picked up Dennis Lillee's autobiography from an op shop in Toc. Half way through it, very good read.
When I run out, I've got Steven Hawkins "A brief history of time" to go back to.

Currently working my way back through Wilbur Smith's ancient Egypt series. Haven't read them for years, IIRC he started losing the plot somewhere around the book I'm currently on, see how it goes.
I also picked up Kokoda by Peter Fitsimons, not a bloke I'm enamoured of but something I wanted to read about. We commemorate ANZAC day when a bunch of guileless kids got sent to their deaths by clueless Pommy generals, we don't celebrate the work the Aussies did in Tobruk enough, but Kokoda really put the Aussie spirit on show. This wasn't a battle for a hill in Europe, this was to meet and stop the Japanese advancing to Australia. Some serious efforts happening there.
