A Long Way Gone

By Ishmael Beah

5 stars
Ishi In Two Worlds: A biography of the last wild Indian in North America

By Theodora Kroeber

5 stars
The Red Wine Of Victory and Other Short Stories

By Evgeny Nosov

5 stars

A beautiful collection of short stories about simple rural life in Soviet Russia. As gentle as the rivers that run through each one.
Kisses In The Nederends

By Epeli Hau'ofa

3 stars

A crude but amusing satire of the woes faced by small Pacific communities; religious exploitation, inadequate medical facilities, colonisation etc. All centered around the metaphor of a incurable 'pain in the arse'. Ultimately enjoyable but hard to get into after the horrors of Remarque's All Quiet On The Western Front. Should have had a pallet cleanser in between
All Quiet On The Western Front

By Erich Maria Remarque

5 stars

Should be compulsory reading for everyone. War is such a mindless loss of innocent life. This book has lost none of its power over time...
Hairy McLary From Donaldson's Dairy

By Lynley Dodd

5 stars

"EEEEEEOOOOWWWWFFFTTTZZZ!!!" Scarface Claw
The Dinosaur Who Pooped A Zoo

By Dougie Poynter and Tom Fletcher

5 stars

Hilarity for the whole family.
1985

By Anthony Burgess

3 stars

Muddy in places due to depth of unionisation, syndicalism and legislation but ultimately an interesting musing on Orwell's vision of 1984. Certains parts are harrowingly close to coming true.
The Tempest

By William Shakespeare

5 stars
Robert Louis Stevenson: His Best Pacific Writings

By Robert Louis Stevenson

5 stars

An overlooked examination of Stevenson's writing from his time in the Pacific; a largely uncharted and sketchily mapped area of the world that he fell in love and wrote about without judgement. These short stories and poems are often ignored in place of more popular publications such as Treasure Island or Jekyll and Hyde but in my opinion are actually more valid to us as teachers on this side of the world in understanding those first few years of Pacific exposure to the Western world. Especially from an unbiased, non-colonial and completely areligious and objective viewpoint.
