Oh, my favourite book. Well, my favourite is Underground, by Sullette Dreyfus, which is all about old-shcool Aussie computer hackers back in the 80s. When Melbourne was the epi-center of underground computing and BBS's and the world feared Melbourne hackers. It's really interesting, to me, as a computer dork anyways.
But, for you, I would recommend a book by Shuan Micallef, called Smithereens (you can borrow my copy if you want, I'm not using it :p). It's written wonderfully, with his usual eccentric words. There's 20 short stories varying from his train trip to the city, to an encounter with the Victorian Governor and the Queen, whilst riding a bike around.
