Summary Welcome to our summer celebration of books and reading. This month the club is looking at two new books - the first Peter Carey's Booker shortlisted, Parrot and Olivier In America - is about the collision of old and new world values. And then they have a cosy crime novel with Kerry Greenwood's inimitable Phryne Fisher heading up investigations, whilst on holidays appropriately enough, in Dead Man's Chest. We also look at the books we're planning to take on holidays ourselves; we catch up with the young readers of the junior book club, and look at some gift ideas for that special person in your life. Our first Summer Special guest is a former priest who claims that he once fell asleep during one of his own sermons; a position ordinarily assumed by his parishioners. He's also a newspaper columnist, essayist, educator and author of Things You Get For Free, Bypass: The Story of a Road, and most recently The Lost Art of Sleep, please welcome, Michael McGirr.Our next guest is former magazine editor turned chic-lit heavy hitter with bestsellers like Mad About The Boy, Cents And Sensibility, and How to Break Your Own Heart to her credit... she's also a non-stop twitterer, a blogaholic, ladies and gentlemen, Maggie Alderson
