This is my voting list, the list that speaks to me 'best'.

1910 - Henry Handel Richardson - The Getting of Wisdom
1916 - CJ Dennis - Songs of the Sentimental Bloke
1930 - Vance Palmer - The Passage
1933 - Dorothy Wall - Blinky Bill
1943 - Kylie Tennant - Ride on Stranger
1958 - Nancy Cato - All The Rivers Run
1964 - George Johnston - My Brother Jack
1975 - Tom Keneally - Gossip from the Forest
1981 - Colleen McCullough - An Indecent Obsession
1993 - Frank Moorhouse - - Grand Days

(This is my non-voting list, the list of some of the 'Best' literature I've read.
1929 - Jean Cocteau - Les Enfants Terrible
1942 - Albert Camus - L'Etranger
1988 - Peter Carey - Oscar and Lucinda

I find myself nodding in agreement with many other peoples contributions as well. So many choices in some decades of the books that I've read, and none that I'd want to include in other decades, so both lists just represent what speaks to me.)
