At the moment, (given I cant really sit in the one spot for long enough to read for any great length of time due to time constraints) I', reading
The Balls of Bob Menzies by Warren Fahey which is not only a collection of Australian political songs and ditties, poetry etc from 1900-1980 it follows the thoughts of ordinary Australians as well as documenting our culture and favourite passtimes. There are songs of frustrations, bitterness, and humour, ...it's effectively a songbook of Australian history and ordinary Australians culture.
It's good, because you can read a bit and put it back down again and not read it for a few weeks and it really doesn't matter.
I'll see if I can find a picture of it. If not, I'll take a pic of mine then post it.
