Members of our ANZ LitLovers Yahoo group have begun submitting their Top Tens for 2011, and I’ve started entering them on our Top Tens page. I”ll keep adding to it over the next couple of weeks as they come in, so if you’re looking for recommendations for great books (a mixture of Aussie and international titles), keep an eye on the site.
You can get to it by clicking on Top Tens in the menu above, or click here.
PS I haven’t added mine yet: they remain Top Secret until the Shadow Man Asian Literary Prize Team reveals its choice!
My top 10, and in no particular order:
1. Desert by J M G Le Clezio
2. Five Bells by Gail Jones
3. Traitor by Stephen Daisley
4. Snow by Orphan Pamak
5. The Street Sweeper by Elliot Perlman
6. Past the Shadows by Favel Parrot
7. Spirit of Progress by Stephen Carroll
8. Autumn Laing by Alex Miller
9. The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
10. The Call by Yannick Murphy

Thanks for sharing this, Meg! I have The Street Sweeper, Spirit of Progress, The Sense of an Ending and Autumn Laing on the TBR so it’s good to know they are highly recommended. Best wishes for the festive season, Lisa
