What I read January 2011

I've had an excellent start to the year, mainly induced I think by the fact that I was on holidays for a couple of weeks.
I've read quite a range including three Australian authors**  you should become acquainted with.

Again I had quite a bit to choose from for my pick of the month. THE BRUTAL TELLING and BAD INTENTIONS were both outstanding contenders, but the winner had to be THE RULE BOOK.
