You've actually done much better than I have issybird. Of that list of 50 must reads, I own quite a few of the books but haven't read them (or I've only watched the move). The only books I've actually read are For the Term of His Natural Life and Year of Wonders.
The latter I probably wouldn't have put on an awesome Aussie top 50, but the former I would have.
I may have to reassess next year's reading plans to make sure I inject more Aussie goodness into it. I've already got Christos Tsiolkas in there, but I think I need to do a bit better. Hmmmm, I can feel a new challenge coming on.
