I saw the bat signal! http://groups.google.com/group/ozdev-bookclub is the book club but it's not been doing much since it started up because:
a) I'm lazy AND b) contrary to (a) I alway seem to be busy I've donated technical books to my local public library, to the Perth .NET Community of Practice public library and work in the past. If you have a list it might be worth getting your local user group to stick it up somewhere so people can say "Hey, I had to do VB6 COM just last tuesday and I could have used that book". Failing all of that, 2nd hand on Amazon/eBay to see if anyone out there needs it.
