The Brush-Off was a very entertaining romp through 80s Melbourne, art and politics. Thoroughly enjoyed it. 
Now to Markus Zusak. I am reading a book that preceded the apparently very famous The Book Thief. Messenger got off to a deceptively silly and grungy 20-something sort of a start. But it's ramping up into something quite startling. Another startling fact is that this novel was written by a very young Zusak: by my calculation, this writer was only 26 at the time of its publication. Karien and Kim have raved about Book Thief. I hope to nab Kim's copy if she still has it!
