[2 True Blues]

Gona's Gone by Peter BRUNE ( **** hot read ) and Quinns Post ( Anzac Gallipoli ) by Peter STANLEY. This book tells the powerful story of the aussies and New Zealanders who lived abd died at Quinns Post, from the first hours of the landing to the final minutes of the evacuation. Quinns was the most dangerous position on the Gallipoli front, mere metres from the Turkish trenches and the scene of constant action. If Quinns fell no part of the Gallipoli position was safe.

The author STANLEY has done what the Turks failed to do, and that is to capture Quinns Post.

Top read guys !!!

Just finished "Marching Powder" it's about a pommy bloke who gets locked up in a bolivian jail for Cocaine trafficking.

It's no "Damage done" but it is pretty good.

Can't remember all the authors

Gipsy's Baby - ordinary

Maggie Cassidy - Kerouac, must have some of the longest sentences in the world

Wonderful - reasonably funny

Angelica's Grotto - good read with some acceptable perversities but a bit predictable in that modern English writing style

Life Cycle of a Guinea Pig - not very informative

Demon Box - Ken Kesey, some beautiful moments and insights into this fella's life, and some genuine chuckles

Selected Letters of Jack Kerouac - basically boring, a lot of letters all merging into each other but some insights

The Same Door - John Updike, sweet short stories, OK read

Tortilla Flat - Steinlager, a re-read from years ago and sweet/funny

currently reading Hemmingway - A farewell to Arms, can't remember one sentence from the next.
