A Regurgitation of the Mind

Day 04: Your Favourite Book

Quite honestly, I really don’t read as much as I should do. It’s something I’ve been meaning to change for some time, but sadly I’ve never really got around to it. I guess I’m always too busy with school that when it comes to free time, all I want to do is jump into bed and nap for a few hours. I don’t really have a favourite book perse. 

One book that I have read quite a bit over the last twelve months is Australian Prime Ministers by Michelle Grattan. It’s essentially a mini biography of all of Australia’s Prime Ministers, from Edmund Barton to Kevin Rudd. I quite like it, as it really clearly explains the early life of each PM, their accession through their respective party, their ideologies and their successes. It’s great to paint a picture as to how Australia was created. I mean, clearly our country right now has evolved through political nurturing and modifications, so it’s cool to see where each of those changes was made and the circumstances surrounding it.

I wish I had a better book. Reading that back makes me sound so sad. But I guess that’s just me.
