On to "A rightful place"
Its a series of essays released to coincide with the Uluru statement from the heart.
(statement now spoilered because it's longer than I thought in this format.)
Spoiler:
Its fascinating and frustrating. (still no treaty and still no constitutional recog or voice to parliament as recommended.)
Noel Pearson writes the first essay, and he's an exceptional writer and thinker.
Some of his insights have been setting off light bulbs, and (the good side of his being a lawyer) some if his clarifications and distinctions of words we can take to be pajoritive to easily (conservative) are awesome.
His discussion of the history wars is so on point too.

Oooh, I've just finished working on the latest Reacher hardback, Blue Moon, and it's sitting on my desk.davyK wrote:Finished the 3rd Jack Reacher novel. Tripwire Dependable stuff this. I've enjoyed this series so far. This sees Reacher more as a detective than a strongarm. Also dips into his history more. Seems to be a transitional book for the character. Good stuff. So easy to read and an interesting bad guy. Felt a bit more "filmic / movie-esque" but that is no bad thing. The books so far have covered different skill sets (prev book about marksmanship) and it is filling the Reacher character out nicely. I can see why there are 22 of these things as each so far has felt sufficiently different. I'll keep going with the series which is a rare thing for me. I'm reading them in sequence but I'm leaving a gap between them so they don't merge into one.
