The Wind-up Bird Chronicle

Haruki Murakami

(Just finished reading it, might write a review soon, it’s a truly magnificent book.)

The Catcher in the Rye

J.D Salinger

I read this in the span of about 2 days, I had to finish it one night, it took me into the early ours of the morning. I’m not sure you could say it was worth it, but it is mildly entertaining, the whole thing is highly cynical, another look, oh look how the American Dream failed.

No Sugar
Jack Davis

The Post-Colonial play ‘No Sugar’ by Jack Davis, first published in 1986, is based in the South West of Western Australia, following a family of multi-generation Nyoongar people. The text shows the mistreatment and misunderstanding, shown by white authorities in the 1930’s. ‘No Sugar’ was a request for white Australians to understand that Aborigines felt dispossessed of their land and spirituality. White intervention has drawn a line between the past and the future. Indigenous Australians cannot have their preferred future due to their reliance on the white Australians.
