1 .Carsick / John Waters.
Waters, John, 1946-
London : Corsair, 2014.
Summary: John Waters is putting his life on the line. Armed with wit, a pencil-thin mustache, and a cardboard sign that reads 'I'm Not Psycho', he hitchhikes across America from Baltimore to San Francisco, braving lonely roads and treacherous drivers. But who should we be more worried about, the delicate film director with genteel manners or the unsuspecting travelers transporting the Pope of Trash? Along the way, Waters fantasises about the best and worst possible scenarios: a friendly drug dealer hands over piles of cash to finance films with no questions asked, a demolition-derby driver makes a filthy sexual request in the middle of a race, a gun-toting drunk terrorizes and holds him hostage, and a Kansas vice squad entraps and throws him in jail. So what really happens when this cult legend sticks out his thumb and faces the open road? Laced with subversive humour and warm intelligence, Carsick is an unforgettable vacation with a wickedly funny companion - and a celebration of America's weird, astonishing, and generous citizens.

2 .The bookshop that floated away / Sarah Henshaw.
Henshaw, Sarah, author
London : Constable, 2014.
Summary: Follow the ebbs and flows of Sarah Henshaw's journey as she sought to make her vision of a floating bookshop, The Book Barge, a reality. Business wasn't always easy, so one May morning she set off for six months chugging the length and breadth of the country. Books were bartered for food, accommodation, bathroom facilities and cake. During the journey, the barge suffered a flooded engine, went out to sea, got banned from Bristol and, on several occasions, floated away altogether.

5 .Coleman : the untold story of an AFL legend / Doug Ackerly.
Ackerly, Douglas I. B. (Douglas Ian Blair), 1949-, author
Summary: Essendon footballer, John Coleman, topped the VFL (now AFL) goalkicking in each of his five completed seasons (1949-53). He played in two premierships, and was named full-forward in the first-ever All-Australian team (1953). He was selected in that position in the AFL Team of the Century and was an inaugural Legend in the AFL Hall of Fame. The leading goalkicker in the AFL home & away season is awarded the John Coleman Medal. To coincide with the unveiling of the latest statue in the Australia Post Avenue of Legends at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, here is Coleman - the Untold Story of an AFL Legend. You will read of a man who could, just as easily, have played for Richmond, and of another who had to leave Essendon because Coleman took his spot, yet went on to emulate many of his feats. There is the explosive true story behind one of football?s most sensational on-field controversies, the Caspar incident, which cost the Bombers a flag. Likewise, the real background to that famous knee. And, so much more.

Marsh, Richard, author
Hudson, Jeff, 1970-, author
London : Piatkus, 2014.
Summary: 'The noises were fuzzy in the darkness. Like hearing a domestic dispute through an apartment wall. As a cop, it was a scenario I'd experienced many times as I'd approached a stranger's front door. But this was different. This time I wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't moving at all. Couldn't move at all.' In May 2009 Napa cop Richard Marsh suffered a severe stroke that submerged him in the terrifying world of a Locked-in sufferer. Brain activity remains but sufferers have no way of communicating with the outside world. In fact, 90 percent of sufferers die within four months of onset. Locked In follows Richard's extraordinary race against time.

8 .Divided lives : dreams of a mother and a daughter / Lyndall Gordon.
Gordon, Lyndall, author
London : Virago, 2014.
Summary: Lyndall Gordon, the renowned and award-winning biographer of Emily Dickinson, TS Eliot, Charlotte Bronte and Mary Wollstonecraft among others, now turns to her own story with Divided Lives: Dreams of a Mother and Daughter. 'As a child, I'm to be my mother's "sister" because she wants one so. My part is to be there if she's ill. At four years old, it's a privilege to have this responsibility instead of trotting off to nursery school like other children.' So begins the renowned and award-wining biographer's book about her own life - particularly in relationship to her mother - an extraordinary and intensely realised tale of loyalty and division; breakdown and recovery; migration and home. Lyndall Gordon was born in 1941 in Cape Town, a place from which `a ship takes fourteen days to reach anywhere that matters'. Born to a mother whose mysterious illness confined her for years to life indoors, Lyndall was her secret sharer, a child who grew to know life through books, story-telling and her mother's own writings. It was an exciting, precious world, pure and rich in dreams and imagination - untainted by the demands of reality. But a daughter grows up. Despite her own inability to leave home for long, Lyndall's mother believed in migration, a belief that became almost a necessity once the horrors of apartheid gripped their country. Lyndall loves the rocks, the sea, the light of Cape Town, but, struggling to achieve a life approved by her mother, she tries and makes a failure of living in Israel and then, back once again in her beloved South Africa she marries and moves with her husband to New York. It's in America in 1968 when suddenly Lyndall realises she cannot be, and does not want to be, the woman, the daughter and the mother her mother wants her to be. This is a wonderfully layered memoir about the expectations of love and duty between mother and daughter. The particular time and place, the people and the situation are Lyndall's, but the division between generations, the pain and the joy of being a daughter are everywoman's.

1 .The lady and the peacock : the life of Aung San Suu Kyi / by Peter Popham.
Popham, Peter
London : Rider, 2011.
Summary: Until she was released in November 2010, Aung San Suu Kyi had been under house arrest in Burma for fourteen of the previous twenty years. She was already confined to her home when the party she co-founded and led, the National League for Democracy, won a landslide victory in a general election in 1990. The result was never acknowledged by the military regime in power for many decades. Yet, headline, tragic events have happened in Burma in recent years: the brutally put down uprising of the monks and nuns in 2007, the devastation left by Cyclone Nargis in 2008, and then Aung San Suu Kyi's trial following the entry into her home of an American intruder who swam across a lake to reach her. Since then there have been sham elections held in November 2010, and 'Daw Suu' (as the Nobel Peace Prize laureate is known) was released into an uneasy stand off with the junta. Praised all over the world for her martyrdom, a matchless emblem of Buddhist fortitude and good humour to her people, there is no public figure in the world today who can compare to her. Yet no book has yet been written that does justice to her extraordinary story: brought up mostly in India, settled in N. Oxford with her English scholar husband and two sons, called back to Burma to look after her sick mother, then caught up in a revolutionary uprising for which she became leader, yet trapped inside the country u never to see her husband again. The Lady and the Peacock is the first, accessible biography of Aung San Suu Kyi. It will become the definitive work on this extraordinary woman, of whom Archbishop Desmond Tutu has said: 'Aung San Suu Kyi is a remarkable and courageous human being. Listen to her voice and be inspired.'

6 .Shy: A Memoir [paperback]
Prior, Sian
Melbourne, Vic Text Publishing 2014.

It's for tall men with jutting jaws. Prime ministers can appear reserved: never shy. Restrained carries itself with dignity.
