A short bit of couch surfing in a Darwin apartment enabled a quick look at the books and other objects of interest , including the following figure sitting on a cooker.
Nearby was a book with the title Buddhism for Meat Lovers . Another volume was by the Dalai Lama on the way to a new life..
There was a range of other reading material in the apartment , which included the intriguing corner bookshelf , covering diverse subjects - how to be a writer, How to Know God, the Oxford Companion to English Literature , the Oxford History of the Classical World, one by Carl Jung and a novel by Australian author Tim Winton.
