Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new collection of short stories, the imaginary residents of a particularly colourful region of Victoria in Australia lead lives of such sheer oddness that their stores had to be told. Most of them work without great enthusiasm for apparently harmless businesses. They ignore that, the companies are secretly involved in illegal activities run by one of the most feared criminal bosses in Melbourne. In this rollicking collection of short stories set in this eccentric little community, successful immigrants, hen-pecked husbands, terrified schoolboys, and bickering sisters have to figure out what to do when unpleasant deaths, delightful love affairs, and hungry crocodiles settle in. and whatever may happen, the secret hidden at the bottom of the lake will remain a secret--and laughter will survive! A Teaspoon of Giggles offers an example of the wicked humour of a man who likes to observe, tease, and mock the lovely people who live around him.
Download or read book As If written by Barry Levy and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We seek them out, our homies, our bros, under the bridge, by the river in the Ipswich dark, and then as if of one large mind, like a single huge brain cell, hungry and in search of things to do we go seeking through the suburbs looking to fill our bellies and have some good, honest to God fun. Scouring the neighbor hood for targets. Pumping life, the teenagers in this novel jump off the page. From the intelligent but physically abused Gray Morrow, to his heroic but temperamental older brother, Gordon, and his tragic relationship with the city-wise but sexually abused Dusty Jones, this is a world many of us fail to recognise as very much our own. Often dark and sometimes cold, bloody and brutal, it is also filled with pathos, love and humanity. Moving between the fringe town of Ipswich and affuent Brisbane, we also find people of the normal world: Ruth Hannah, the shelter supervisor who offers comfort and support to the kids, but who has her own past to contend with, and the Juvenile Aid Bureaus Senior Detective Constable Watno Thornes who tries to befriend the kids but lives with a dark agenda in the back of his head...Levys novel immerses us in this world. Once in, we see that the way out is no simple journey. This book is a good read for those sensible enough to buy it. It is racy, with a pace reminiscent of an early Henry Miller, getting you involved in its poetically drawn world, and then lulling you into a sense of complacency, when WHAM, it hits you that this is no ordinary novel, something to be evidenced in both the content and style of writing as much as the universal themes of love, loss and need that are so brilliantly portrayed through the energetically alive, complex and richly drawn characters. ---Dr Robert Schweitzer, Associate Professor in Psychology, Queensland University of Technology.

You put in the hours, get the degree and hope your first job isn't a five hour drive west of Blackbutt. She knew it wouldn't all be long summer breaks and the adoration of grateful parents. But nothing prepared her for the "challenges" of teaching at Bayside State School, not to mention what her colleagues would get up to after school hours ...
