What is books are you taking to Aus, if any?
Which books can you not part with, and so will be taking with you on your travels?
Mine are:
Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks
Tess of the d'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy
both make me cry, but are lovely.
And what about music - think mine must be Coldplay - Rush of blood to the head - it has a special place in my heart at the moment

Music- the whole coldplay album is fantastic. POLITIK. superb.
REM- everybody hurts, because i know it means so much to my wife.
PS. If you like coldplay, Snow Patrol may also appeal.
ps ps. last post far too drunk to make any more sense...

But seriously, I'll have to stick them in storage until I save a few grand and can come back and retrieve them.
When I come out with you in the New Year, I'll be bringing Slater's 'Australian Birds', Hoser's 'Australian Reptiles and Frogs', and whatever novel I happen to be reading at the time.
'Rush of Blood to the Head'.....good choice......

Re: What is books are you taking to Aus, if any?
Can't make a list of what I've brought because it would take too long for me to write & for you folks to read I brought 87 boxes of books over here in our container! (and almost as many boxes of shoes!)
However, FWIW, most of Hardy's novels are in there (and his short stories, which are brilliant, highly recommended if you like his novels) along with Slaters' Aus Bird Guide, 'Birds of the Caribbean' by James Bond (yes really - that's where Ian Fleming got the name), Peter Hayman's UK birds, misc guides to Birds of Bali, Hong Kong, USA, Canada, NZ etc.
Also works by loads of Aussie writers incl. Bryce Courtenay, Germaine Greer, Peter Carey, Barry Humphries, Anna Funder....
No wonder the ship took so long to get here.... :scared:
Cheers,
Anya.

Good job you cannot see our PMs
What about music, I keep looking at my rather big CD collection and wonder what to leave with other people - I'm not shipping anything over.
What would you take?
Loads of my books are finding a new home in my local library.
