Lucky Man
In a rare break for my usual Tablet / Kindle based reading I have a real paperback copy of the Michael J Fox memoir.
A talented bloke who got diagnosed very very early and has made it his mission to help bring awareness about Parkinson's disease internationally, and the aim to find a cure for the the many who have this.
Batavia
Peter Fitzsimons is one of the best story tellers of the current age. I have been mowing through each of his great books over the last couple of years and learning so much about Australian history and folk law.
From Burke & Wills, Ned Kelly, Cook, Bligh, Kakoda and Eureka, his ability to put you in the moment is magificent.
If you haven't read one of his books, get on with it!
1984
Re-reading some classic literature is always worthwhile, especially in the current climate.
Hamlet
Sometimes you just need to read Shakespeare.
