The First Tuesday Bookclub has thrown it out there - what are the ten Aussie books that you absolutely must read before your time is up? They've put together a list on their website at
http://www.abc.net.au/arts/aussiebooks/vote.htm that includes everything from
Cloudstreet to
Picnic at Hanging Rock, from
The Magic Pudding to
Jasper Jones.
My Picks? How about Frank Moorhouse's magnificent
Grand Days, thrown in with Christina Stead's Sydney romance
For Love Alone, another book set between Australian and London, Patrick White's
Wanting and Kim Scott's
That Deadman Dance for Nat. Along with a whole lot of books that I'm adding to my list!
