I am not sure about this one as I have a feeling that I have nominated it before and maybe books cannot be nominated twice??? Anyway, if it survives nomination it is an Australian classic which I have read way back but which I have in mind to read again.

For the Term of His Natural Life - Marcus Clarke

This Australian light hearted comic novel is a bit expensive in ebook and I doubt will be available in non-Australasian libraries, but I will give it a go. It is popular literature having been around and available for decades, I think one of the largest selling Australian novels ever. I have read it a couple of times over the years and could easily stand doing so again. Some of it may go over non-Australian heads but it is a fair take-off of Australia at the time and loved by those it depicts.
