All I Ever Wanted Was to Be Hot is a funny, provocative retrospective on the last thirty years of Western beauty standards. From the Pussycat Dolls to Victoria’s Secret, The Girls of the Playboy Mansion to Lara Bingle, the media of the 2000s was littered with high profile examples of hotness as the highest form of social currency. Is it any wonder a girl growing up in that era might believe “good looks” were as integral to womanhood as having a pulse?

First published in 1962, this wonderfully provocative book introduced the notion of "pseudo-events" - events such as press conferences and presidential debates, which are manufactured solely in order to be reported - and the contemporary definition of celebrity as "a person who is known for his well-knownness".

In The Worshipper of the Image, Richard Le Gallienne unfolds a haunting tale first published in 1900. The story follows Antony, a poet who stumbles upon a mysterious death mask in an antique shop that strikingly resembles his wife, Beatrice. Named Silencieux, this eerie artifact soon becomes an obsession, consuming Antonys thoughts and driving a wedge between him and his once-beloved family. As his fixation deepens, Antony spirals into madness, willing to sacrifice everything—including his own soul—to be reunited with the haunting visage of Silencieux. - Summary by Holly McGuire
