I knew the author personally, he always said he was inspired by table top rpg gaming. He was a lot of fun to hang out with. Very imaginative person.
Alright here is one for you guys: A girl has to fight to survive and ends up saving someone else too. This ends up being seen as an act of rebellion and inspires an entire nation.

Sorry this book may be a hard one for people who aren't Australian.

Ok maybe another clue is needed! (Come on Australians, you should know this book)! :)The author is a West Australian writer who his known for writing stories about the WA coast and the ocean. He is also an environmental advocate.
Awesome, it's been years since I read that book.Ok.. A story written by a guy by just using his left eye and someone else's patience. He unfortunately died just two days after publication

Alright.An autobiography about a guy who survived a high-speed car crash and whose wife is definitely not French :).

That's correct, Monique! Your turn :).
Ok... A cabdriver and a doorman become messengers after playing cards

Woohoo!A spoiled, self centered girl gets everything she wanted, only to realise too late that it isn't what she actually wanted.
I am starting to feel I did a really bad job describing this one. Shall I give a hint?
Mod
Maybe you're the only one who read this book :p
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
That was a hint!! Not an insult

I read a book awhile ago about a future time when the humans are really teeny tiny, compared to the huge size of the new alien conquerors, but they stay strong and keep on living, only now they live in the walls of the houses that these huge new creatures have built.
Then, they make plans to abandon earth and leave on their huge spaceships and the humans make their own plans to sneak onto the spaceships . . . unnoticed, because they are so tiny.
and when the doubters ask, "how can we be sure we can live wherever they are going?" it's explained that they can, because both groups need the same environment (air, etc) and the humans are super-adaptable and can live anywhere . . . . essentially comparing the spread of humans across the earth and galaxy to roaches or rats or similar.
Anyone know the title of this one?
