ANZ LitLovers LitBlog

I’ve given up doing reading challenges, but I have some ongoing reading projects.  The first two are hosted elsewhere (click the links).

The Complete Booker: I collect Booker winners in first editions, so of course I want to read them all.

Read the Nobels: Some of the world’s most interesting writers have won the Nobel, so these winners are rarely a disappointment.

Miles Franklin winners: I collect hardback winners in first edition and plan to read them all eventually.  I read many of them before I started this blog, but there are about 30 of them reviewed here.

Then there’s another ongoing one, reading from the always updating 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.

There are also major Australian authors – and some less established authors who I think have a great future – whose long form fiction oeuvre I want to read over time. I have been reading most of them since long before I started reading this blog, so not every book is ever going to be reviewed here, and it’s most often a challenge just to find copies of the backlist.  But since many of these authors are still living and writing, it’s a movable feast.
