100. River God, Wilbur Smith
So judging by the Angus and Robertson list it looks like I've hardly read anything. However thats untrue, I just don't like the same books as the rest of Australia I think.
If you think anything here is particularly worth reading, let me know. There's a couple that I have no interest in, but some of the others I'd like to give a go.
Coming in the next few days: my personal top 20 list.
