About this list

Readings, 30 Books

Another reaction to that NYT list of best books of the 21st Century, this time from the Australian book retailer Readings.
"As fierce advocates for Australian literature we were disappointed not to see any of our own remarkable writers on the(NYT) list... We reached out to members of the Australian literary community, from writers to publishers and our own passionate booksellers, asking them to nominate their favourite Australian books, published since 2000. The result is this list of the 30 best Australian books of the 21st century." Over 600 votes were cast.

The exact number of voters was not specifically mentioned, but based on their summary, I am going to guess at least 20. If anyone has a more accurate count please let me know.
