After attending eight ticketed and two free events, the festival is over for another 12 months. In previous years, I had been disappointed with my choice of events based mainly on writers of fiction. This year, I went too far the other way and concentrated too much on 'mangled language' and economic crises. I did, however, have the opportunity to listen to David Wessel, Paul Keating, Tony Abbott, Ross Garnaut, Ross Gittins, Don Watson and Christopher Hitchens. My only purchase this year is Ian Hoskins 'Sydney Harbour - A history'. I will also buy Garnaut's book on the 2008 recession.
