Two Brothers by Roger Furphy

Hello Eveyone

I will keep my questions light because I know a few who haven't read the book.

* Did you know the author is a member of the famous Water Cart family.
* Did anyone WHO READ THE BOOK notice a few discrepancy's in the mileage quoted as distances to Melbourne and surrounds from Yering.
* A general discussion on the extreme differences between the two brothers.
* I found Joe to be an excellent poet.  I can be transported to the moment he wrote the work and picture the scene as he wrote.   Does anyone else feel the full of his writing.
* I also feel the author Roger Furphy has a gift for descriptive writing.  I can picture and feel the moment he is writing about.  I think it is very hard to write about the Australian bush because not a lot happens quickly.  It all unfolds slowly and quietly.  'Comments'.

Hello All,

Please see below the questions for the first half of our double whammy December meeting;

The Fictional Woman – Tara Moss

1. Have you read Tara Moss, fiction? Good/Bad/Indifferent.
2. Did you have any preconceptions about the Author prior to reading this book? Did reading this book change them?
3. There is something about Tara Moss that doesn’t sit well with her many detractors, what is it about her persona that attracts so much derision?
4. Has proprietary and predatory behaviour by men towards woman lessened with each generation?
5. Are we all older and wiser, is there anything in this book for us (except perhaps validation of our own experiences)…would young woman benefit from reading this book?
6. Give one positive comment about the book.

We will also discuss Two Brothers - A Bit of a Yarn - Roger Furphy - among other things.
