What’s Chookin’ good Bookin’?

Dave here to let you know what the next Book Cheat book is.

The Day of the Triffids with Maso and James from The Weekly Planet is out not if you haven’t heard it yet. Good times were had when recording that one.

Okay, down to business…

Read on if you don’t mind a spoiler for the next book which is…

Going…

To…

Be…

Wake In Fright by Kenneth Cook. It’s an Australian classic first published in 1961 and famously adapted into a film a decade later.

It’s a nightmarish tale of a young man trying to escape an outback Australian town. He is on his way to Sydney but after a series of self destructive decisions finds himself alone, broke and increasingly desperate.

Has anyone read it or seen the film?

I haven’t covered as many Australian books on the show as I would have liked, so suggestions of Aussie classics are also super welcome! Honestly, suggestions of non Aussie stuff is also welcome at any time.

BOOKS FOREVER!
