1 October, 2008 An odd title (which refers to the infinity symbol) and 50 or so pages of stilted, naive dialogue and irritating moralising, did not make me want to continue reading this novel. 
1 October, 2008 People will buy this collection of erotic short stories, because of the author names they are familiar with. 
1 October, 2008 Grace Notes by Jenny Pattrick is a lively read, with well-rounded characters, feisty dialogue and excellent sense of location.

1 October, 2008 Like a child reading Animalia for the first time I devoured this illustrated biography of a talented and fortunate man in one extended reading and then went back to examine choice pages. 
17 September, 2008 I’ve just started reading Timothy Ferriss’ award-winning book, The Four Hour Work Week, and have already started to adopt some of his philosophies.

1 September, 2008 Following on from their previous book, The Great Mistakes of Australian History, Crotty and Roberts once again assemble notable Australian historians and thinkers to dissect key events in our past. 
1 September, 2008 It’s an ambitious task to cover such a comprehensive range of topics and perhaps herein lies the problem, as I found this compilation somewhat disjointed. 
1 September, 2008 According to a recent poll of 15,000 Dymocks booklover members, Pride and Prejudice is considered one of the best books ever written and yet one that I am shamefaced to admit has never quite made it to the top of my reading pile. 
1 September, 2008 Jim Powe presents a unique photographic collection, most of which is published for the first time. 
1 September, 2008 A cricket fan’s dream and a learner’s manual rolled into one, Inside Out brings together Gideon Haigh’s colourful, poignant and suitably smart-mouthed despatches from the crease.

1 September, 2008 Through the stories of 12 people living in Australia, Translating Lives examines the multicultural experience with a particular focus on what it means to speak more than one language. 
1 September, 2008 Brush with Gondwana is unique because it’s one of the first books in this genre I’ve come across that celebrates the artistic achievements of the Botanical Artists’ Group of WA (BAG), a group that formed (loosely) over a pot of tea in 1992. 
1 September, 2008 This meticulously researched children’s reference book relates the history of Australia through its pictures.
