  Secrets from the Cockpit -...

  Robert Schapiro

  ‘A witty, sometimes heart-stopping, and always engrossing path from “boy pilot” to elite aviator.’ – Jaundiced Eye columnist, William Saunderson-Meyer 
  Robert Schapiro always wanted to fly. Challenging anti-Semitic bullying, mockery and fierce rivalry, he realised his dream by earning his wings in the South African Air Force and going on to command C-47 Dakotas in the Border War. 
  He joined South African Airways (SAA) in 1979, soon learning it was a time when SAA crews were dominated by the ‘Royal Family’ – captains who thought themselves above the rules and who spent time overseas on drinking binges or coaxing air hostesses to be their ‘airline wives’. 
  When sanctions forced SAA to cut back on its routes, he was seconded to Japan’s Nippon Cargo Airlines, routinely flying between New York and Tokyo and grappling with often-hilarious cultural misunderstandings as he adapted to a Japanese style of operations. Schapiro is disarmingly frank about life as an international pilot. He divulges near misses, emergency landings, navigation errors, passenger shenanigans (seat sex, anyone?), how pilots control rowdy travellers and absorbing detail about the technique of flying different aircraft types. 
  Uplifting and humorous, his memoir offers a rare slice of aviation history.

  The Romance of Certain Old...

  Henry James

  Henry James was born 15th April 1843 in New York City. 
  His youth was spent travelling with his family receiving what was an "extraordinarily haphazard and promiscuous" education as they journeyed through London, Paris, Geneva, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Newport, Rhode Island, according to the father's current interests and publishing ventures. James studied primarily with tutors and only briefly attended schools.    
  Undoubtedly the quality of his writing has ensured his name is enshrined in the American literary tradition.  
  James was a committed Anglophile and spent most of his adult life as an expatriate in Europe.  Many of his novels juxtapose the Old World with the New World. Classics such as ‘The Portrait of a Lady’, ‘Daisy Miller’ and ‘The Ambassadors’, display the entanglement between American and European cultures and mentalities. They highlight the differences between the two worlds through following the experiences of American expatriates in Europe.  
  A prolific author he was able to easily move across genres to create vivid and totally real worlds and situations and to offer sophisticated observations of human relations as well as realistic, social criticism.  
  As a critic James was unafraid to venture into reviews and essays of those other literary giants around him.  These together with his short stories and, of course, classic novels, make Henry James an author to be not only admired but read, and read often.  
  In 1915 Henry James became a British citizen. 
  On 28th February 1916, at the age of 72, Henry James died in Chelsea, London. 
  He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912 and 1916. He never won.

  Welcome to Running in Slippers, a funny yet heartfelt memoir where Angie takes you through her journey of rock-bottom moments after a bad breakup and the loss of her father. It's a wild ride of misguided attempts to fill the empty space in her life — think of it like a train wreck you just can't stop watching. As she stumbles through love, loss, and trying to figure herself out, Angie’s story pulls you in with raw emotion and unexpected twists. 
  In a world where we’re all wearing masks—whether on social media or in person—and disconnected more than ever (thanks, COVID!), it’s easy to forget how real life actually feels. Everything is filtered and edited, and we rarely see the everyday struggles that everyone is going through. 
  But real connection doesn’t come from being perfect, it comes from being real. It’s scary to show up as your true self and risk rejection, but that’s exactly what Angie’s doing. She’s ripping off the masks to remind us all that vulnerability is where the magic happens.

  Certainly Not a Celebrity

  This heart-warming and inspiring story follows the journey of David, a working-class lad from Lakemba who, despite getting into mischief and facing life's many challenges, emerged on the other side stronger than ever.
  
  From moments like coaching an under-nines soccer team alongside his manager Jack – who told concerned parents, "If you have any complaints, come to me, not David. I've had injuries to my spine, and my surgeon warned me, 'Operating on you could make you a quadriplegic, David.' Yet his prediction that the pain would ease every ten years has been spot on. Today, it's nothing" – to dealing with setbacks like buying a courier run from Nu Way Transport Newcastle, only to return from Christmas holidays to find the factory burned down by an arsonist, David's life has been a rollercoaster.
  
  After starting his own courier business, sometimes earning as little as five dollars a day, and navigating the ups and downs of the Australian mining boom, David spent 14 years travelling for months at a time before retiring at fifty-nine to Atlantis on the Gold Coast.
  
  However, retirement brought a new challenge: bowel cancer. After being 21 months cancer-free, the disease returned and spread to his lungs – stage four. Yet, through it all, David's resilience has never wavered. This is more than just his story; it's an inspiration to cancer sufferers and a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of life's toughest battles.
