Welcome to Litsy!

Wonderful read. Really sparked my memory. Young ones should read as I get they can‘t believe what the 60s, 70s and even the 80s were like. Richard told them things and they didn‘t believe him . We truly have come a long way.
Made me LOL a lot. It‘s very Aussie but I‘m sure other countries could relate.

Today‘s pickings from the book swap. Whitlam is my favourite Australian Prime minister ever. I love the my new kitchen splash back in the background.

I enjoyed this book. Some facts of Australian life in the 60s and 70s was a shock to me, some before my time...others were easily remembered things from my childhood. It had me thinking 'oh, God, yes, I remember that!'
An enjoyable book for anyone who experience Australia in the era this book is set.

Laugh out loud funny, enlightening -being a child of the 80s and 90s rather than the 69s and 70s - and really well researched and written. Read wonderfully by the author. Loved it

My grandmother had a saying. There were good days and there were old days, but there is no such thing as the good old days. Glover‘s premise is the same. He explores the period 1965 (year of my birth) to 1975. His Australia is similar to mine. We grew up in the same city, only a handful of suburbs apart. Our parents were aspirational (mine were loving and attentive) but I recognise in his hyperbole some truths about. It was a racist, sexist place.

This is hilarious. I‘d really recommend the audio book with Richard narrating. He brings out the many nuances. I‘m giving this ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌛

These are the books I pick up on my trip to Australia/NZ. Books are pretty expensive there so I tried to pick things written by local authors/about the city I was in. I'm excited to read them!
