I've just realised that I've read all ten listed...my one holdout had been Cloudstreet as I've never been a Tim Winton fan, but I enjoyed the mini-series so much I had to read the book. I now need an updated list....

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Kim! Perhaps I'd best check if there's a new list;)

Actually The Book Club is running for an hour tonight from 9.20 on ABC1 and announcing the top 5 so we might publish them tomorrow:)

Shamefully, I've read none of them. However half of them were on my to-read list. I've added the other five.
