I've read the disturbing The Unknown Terrorist by Richard Flanagan which tells the story of Gina (The Doll), a pole dancer who unwittingly gets caught up in a terrorist scare in Sydney. The story reveals society's paranoia regarding terrorism and the laws that govern it which strip citizens of their rights. Also shown are the characters who seek to benefit from creating fear, including the media, politicians and some security services. A great thriller. 41/2/5
Ten ladies get together every month to have fun.

Violence and War
Real life happens not in our grand deeds, or when we move, clash, or go to war but in the small, hardly noticeable changes that take place in our souls.
