Geoff Law

Read The River Runs Free by Geoff Law in order to do a review for ABP magazine. Interesting history of the saving of the Franklin River in Tasmania. Cameos by Bob Brown and Peter Cundall.
Now I'm reading the Kibble winner Nights in the Asylum by Carol Lefevre, in order to do a brief review for Newsbreak. It's quite good but I hate those large and heavy trade format paperbacks, they're such a drag to carry around.
Am cataloguing the papers of Finola Moorhead at work, should try to read her novels to get a better feel for the manuscripts but they're so hard to get into. She's a very experimental writer, lots of fantasy and very strange structures. Not really my style I just like a good story, well told.

YOu are certainly involved in actually reading books, which seems not always the case for librarians!
