Death Valley by Melissa Broder is so many things all at once. A tale of desert survival with talking rocks, a mystical cactus and hallucinations all set under a backdrop of grief, existentialism and introspection. Darkly funny and at times bizarre, I haven't been able to stop thinking about this book since I finished it. A fantastic fever dream of a novel! -Sarah, Harry Hartog Marrickville

If you’re feeling guilty about your screen time, Johann Hari is here to tell you that your iPhone addiction is not your fault. He’s also here to tell you that unfortunately there are no easy answers, unless you’re willing and able to spend three months in Cape Cod without an internet connection. So … put down your darn phone for a few hours and get ready to be shocked and inspired.- Renee, Harry Hartog Marrickville

Made into an Oscar-winning movie in 1993, this story will stay with you long after you've put it down.- Tom, Harry Hartog Marrickville
