I have read a few of them already but I will now endeavour to read some of the remaining books on the list. Those I have read are:
All that I am by Anna Funder, Truth by Peter Temple,The ballad of Desmond Kale by Roger Mcdonald, Dark Palace by Frank Moorhouse, Jack Maggs by Peter Carey, The Well by Elizabeth Jolley, Cloudstreet by Tim Winton, Oscar and Lucinda by Peter Carey, Bring Larks and Heroes by Thomas KeneallyThere are 47 books on the list so I still have a few I can choose from. I think I will start with Voss by Patrick White as I have a copy here at home.
