Astonishing times in Melbourne. Non-Left books have been sighted in city bookshops.

I saw some at Dymocks (under Current Affairs) in Collins Street and an even better collection in the politics section of Reader’s Feast in Swanston Street.

Authors included F.A. Hayek, Thomas Sowell, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly. Pleased to see a paperback edition of the excellent Suicide of Reason by Lee Harris. There seemed to be a number of titles from Free Press and Regnery Publishing.

At Reader’s Feast, Norman Podhoretz’s World War IV sits on a shelf beside volumes of John Pilger’s nonsense.
