Interested to hear any difference in attitudes among women who read my book - those who have children and those who don't and if their feelings about the book differ because of that status. Also men. Have heard from some men since it came out and th…

So How does it work?
Well, firstly there is no obligation to buy, no contracts to sign, no commitment to make but if you would like to help raise money for MD research, then the more books you purchase, the more you are helping.

*Best Sellers
*Classics
*Light Reading
*Australian Literature
*Science Fiction
*Biographies
*True Crime
*Tiny Tots
*Kid's Korner
*Chat with the author
Coming soon!
*Fantasy
*Mystery

We have partnered with Fishpond, Australasia's largest online bookstore. Fishpond will handle the ordering, dispatch of our books and donate part of the proceeds to our cause. Most of our books are below recommended retail price and we are still raising money. How good is that?!

Please invite your friends, family and work colleagues to join Australia's Biggest Book Group and raise much needed funds for this devastating muscle wasting disease.

Click onto groups and meet our fantastic group moderators who will be chairing the discussion forums in the 1st week of each month.

There's something here for everyone. It's so easy to order. Simply go to the "buy this month's book" tab above and you will be sent to the specially set up pages on the Fishpond site. The more books you buy, the more money you raise. You can buy anything off the Fishpond site, books, DVD's, music, even toys and they will donate 10% to muscular dystrophy research but you must click on the fish button below for the order to be tracked back to our cause.

Join Claire as we chat about her recently launched and highly successful book Do You Want Sex With That?

Purchase Do You Want Sex with That? for $27.99 and raise $5 for our cause
Like sugar, sex is in everything, from Bratz dolls to internet porn. On your television, on your radio, along the side of the road; in your inbox, your handheld and your frontpage. It sells and - particularly if you're a parent - it terrifies. It has always excited and disgusted, but now it does both things simultaneously, all the time. Combining memoir and reportage, Claire Halliday considers the place of sex throughout Australian life: from lounging about at the beach, to the pervasive sexualisation of advertising and children, to the more minority pursuits of swinging and porn-films, as well as the rise of the abstinence movement. She explores the issues with unsparing candour, testing them against her own life and her own feelings rather than abstract ideals. The result is inquiring, challenging and fascinating. Who, after all, doesn't like sex? Just...perhaps...not right now.
