Good for you Homey. Enjoy.
Actually the list has a few I've read and a few that are on my TBR list - owned or otherwise. There are some I have no desire to read - Patrick White, Hal Porter and Colleen McCullough for example.
I would happily recommend Christos Tsiolkas because he made quite an impression on me. I haven't read
The Slap yet (it's on my shelves and on my Kindle), but I've read a couple of his other books.
Looking at these lists, some of the titles are just so ingrained in our psyche here, it's hard to read the titles and not have an immediate response. Bookpossum can probably relate. I really should make an effort to read more great Australian fiction.
