I'll hold up my hand as being an Australian and voting for Picnic at Hanging Rock, though my choice had nothing to do with patriotism. Personally I would have preferred One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to both. I simply don't feel like reading another Atwood at the moment, though she is a fine author.
I would also add that whilst there is certainly nothing wrong with examining the stats I would hope that we are not choosing books based largely on the sex of the author or the colour of their skin. Or, for that matter, patriotism.
