A couple of recommended reading lists

A few months back, Books Alive 2008 (an Australian Government initiative) produced a booklet listing “50 books you can’t put down”. Not the most earth-shattering list but worth a look if you can’t decide which Australian book to read next. If you missed out on a hard copy, you can browse the list online or download a PDF version from any of the past four years.

Also a few months ago, the Guardian published the article, Summer reading: how to pick the right book for any trip. Being from Australia, I couldn’t bring myself to mention this summer focused story when it was published in the middle of our winter so I’ve managed to hold off until spring.
