How To Make Gravy | Paul Kelly
post image

Spotify would struggle to find an artist I was less interested in seeing tbh.

I‘m posting this here because my Mum has already endured my rant about How To Make Gravy coming 9th in the recent TripleJ Hottest Australian 100 of all time.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Chopper | Mark Brandon Read
post image

Everytime I come across a mention of Chopper, I flash back to my most terrifying library enquiry which started with a man asking if we had Chopper on DVD and then, unprompted, while I was looking it up on the catalogue, added that he‘d been in Pentridge Prison at the same time as Chopper. Different cell block though.

I listened to the audiobook whilst art-making and quickly realised I'd have preferred a print copy, all the better to savour her marvellous writing.

Be warned, it is rage-inducing: how the medical establishment "treated" her endometriosis as a mental illness and the appalling suffering she endured as a consequence is deplorable, disgusting and, I fear, hardly an isolated case. (And God help those women who aren't as articulate as she was!)
