On the ABC’s top 100 books, it’d be interesting to map these to sales. Because if all it’s doing is tracking sales numbers by proxy, what’s the point? We know they’re bestsellers. And? “Popular books win a popularity contest” isn’t really doing much for Australian literature.

What the heck is a polar bear doing in Arlington Texas? The idea of Alex Megos hanging out in Nowra tickles my brain.

Screenshot a Facebook post by Alexander Megos with a photo of him climbing a route that looks completely diabolical and the following text:

Alexander Megos is in Nowra

Australia's first 37 and one of the best routes I've ever done. This piece of rock truly is a slice of heaven. Thank you everyone for the support and for being part of the process 🙏🏼.
