Description:
From one of Australia's most wryly funny writers comes an original and utterly hilarious memoir of reaching for the stars while lying in a ditch.
I was sleeping in what might reasonably be described as a ditch, though I tried not to think of it in those terms for morale reasons . . .
Robert Skinner arrives in the city, searching for a richer life. Things begin badly and then, surprisingly, get slightly worse. Pretty soon he's sleeping rough and trying to run a literary magazine out of a dog park. His quest for meaning keeps being thwarted, by endless jobs, beagles, house parties, ill-advised love affairs, camel trips and bureaucratic entanglements.
Sometimes a book catches the spirit of the times. I'd Rather Not is about work, escape and that something more we all need.
Winner of the John Clarke Prize for Humour Writing and the People's Choice Award at the 2025 Victorian Premier's Literary Awards.

'I was told this man came from the Adelaide Plains and so commenced to read his work. By the time I realised I'd been viciously misled and he actually grew up in Magill, it was too late. I was already completely in love with the book. It's an absolute bag of lollies.' -Annabel Crabb
'Robert Skinner writes with humour, intelligence and heart. Pick up this book and you may never put it down.' -Tony Birch
'This book is like a big, properly made gin and tonic drunk outside in a garden on a perfect Saturday afternoon.' -

Doesn't break easily
Color: yellow/orange
This toy works really good. I bought it from my daughter's dog when they bring her over but it ended up the cat. Loved it and knows how to play with it. Better than the dog did. LOL

My frenchie likes it.
Color: yellow/orange
Very useful for my dog. It made him eat slower because he tends to inhale his food. He got his playtime and was able to eat his kibble a little bit a time.

Not durable
Color: red
Although it holds about two cups of food or treats, my 40lb dog can bite down hard enough that you can no longer move the dispenser hole. It entertains her for hours but it could be a bit more durable for larger dogs or specify that it is for smaller pups
