AbstractHistoryArchive Description

confess to being a fan of reading lists. I like the simplicity of them; the suggestion that I might be able to contain my reading, find a path through the almost endless possibilities that are presented to me when I go into the bookshop or library. When I discover a new reading list, I'm excited by the idea that I might complete it, and so come to a deeper and more satisfying understanding of at least one small corner of the literary landscape.

I would like, for example, to read all of the books that have ever won the Booker, or one book from each of the Nobel Prize for Literature winners. Or, alternatively, I would like to hone my focus on Australian writing, and read each of the books that have won the Miles Franklin Award.
