Don’t Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs, She Thinks I’m a Piano Player in a Whorehouse
by Paul Carter (Allen & Unwin, 2005); audiobook read by Paul Carter (Bolinda, 2012)
Less the story of life on the oil rigs, more a series of anecdotes celebrating the lifestyles (on, away from, and in transit) of those who work them. Carter has an easy writing style but a curiously hurried delivery (in the audiobook).
