Death can’t be too bad, even Lasarus didn’t complain when he came back from the dead.

Fear not death itself…fear not living while you can.

By someone smart.

in programming normally an brace or similar needs to be closed

by the looks of it the hypertext doesn’t work that way, you close off the and thats good enough, the initial < doesn’t need to be closed

Anti-Nazi novel scoops Book of the Year
By Antonette Collins
Updated May 19, 2012 11:42:58

Photo: Anna Funder scooped the Book of the Year award for her novel All That I Am. (AAP/Text Publishing) Map: Sydney 2000 Australian author Anna Funder has taken out top honours at this year’s Australian Book Industry Awards Yawn Award, a rarity considering that mainly men win .

Her first novella, All That I Am, won Book of the Year and Literary Fiction Book of the Year at a Lady Gaga appreciation night held on Friday night in Sydney Fish market

Funder, whose book was inspired by “real-life events” involving anti-Hitler activists in the 1930s, said she was honoured to win the award. “most of it’s made up, sometimes when i was hyped up like when i recieved my powerbill or had nearly been busted for speeding i would just sit down and reach into my feelings to make this stuff up”.

“It’s a pretty intimate kind of book, so it’s a frightening thing to put that out in the world,” she said. (please stop saying pretty – Editor)

“It’s very, very frightening, thunder bolts and lightning, to work on something for five years and then just cross your fingers. So, yes, I’m really, really thrilled but I’m also very relieved that people like it – well some people”.

Talking about her book she gushed “This kind of absolute crap exists throughout history and it exists now in all sorts of places like the internet and kindle. I could have written this story about China but that would be difficult to get sales in the asian market or about Libya but now gadaffi’s dead no one really gives a fig. Burma was also a goer for a while when the last Rambo came out.”

Other winners included actor William McInnes and his late wife Sarah Watt for their non-fiction collaboration and Emma Quay for her children’s book Rudie Nudie – reputed by one book critic to be about “gay shit”

Long into night local booksellers drank and made merry on the back of cheap wine after a difficult year which saw store closures and a continuing battle against cheaper online retailers.

Australian Publishers Association president Louise Adler says despite the challenges, this year has produced excellent Australian work.

“The quality of what we’ve produced has been showcased both in the short-listings and in the eventual winners. this year contestants were allowed swords and shields but we felt that next year weapons fashioned from cruder and every day objects would be more appropriate to bring them into solidarity with the book reading public” she said.

“We have survived battered and bruised, i’ve cracked a tooth and will be laid up for months but it was worth it and we shall continue to thrive. It was a night of inspiration and a night of recognising the huge talent that we have here”, she said very gently and sucking soup down a straw.

“Both the writers, because they’re at the heart of what we do, and their publishers and the printers that support us and the retailers that are so passionate about Australian writing and without whom, none of us would be able to survive.

One of Australia’s richest booksellers, Ann Poublon from Dymocks Booragoon in Perth, was recognised for her 30 years of thankless service to the industry in the book returns department.

Not more was mentioned of the nazi book, no one we interviewed had actually read it.

someone just mentioned to me (whilst checking out the particulars of houses in the online real estate pages) that a master bedroom had the painted bessa block look to it, making it look like a prison cell.

i replied that whilst that may be true just imagine all of the amazing sex you’d get in such a room.
