Mum got top 100 books (Vic Librarian choice) list. interesting to see which of these I've read, will list ranking for interests sake. 1. The Lord of the Rings 2. Pride and Prejudice (ok not read, seen movie) 3. To Kill a Mockingbird 9. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 10. The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver everyone should read this, facinating 14. Tomorrow, When the War Began - John Marsden 15. Picnic at Hanging Rock - Joan Lindsay movie music creeps me out... plain wierd 17. 1984 - George Orwell 18. Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy 20.

The Bible 56. Playing Beatie Bow - Ruth Park 75. The Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula Le Guin 78. Little House ont he Prairie - Laura Ingalls Wilder 92. The King of Torts - John Grisham And that is it. Quite a few from that list. Haven't read novels and stuff in a long time it seems. All spaced out 3hour chunks while on the train. At the moment, being the books following Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Essentially. My top would include (despite a few listed above, LOTR, Poisonwood Bible, Jane Eyre, Tomorrow When the War Began series) Swords and Crowns and Rings - Ruth Park (anything by her) Dreams of Love and Modest Glory - Joan Lingard The Hobbit - JRR Tolkein The Touch/The Thorn Birds/An Indecent Obsession... - Colleen McCullough The Giver - Lois Lowry non fiction:- Authentic Beauty - Leslie Ludy 31 Girl - Mary Simpson When God Writes Your Love Story - Eric and Leslie Ludy Enjoying God -... by someone, and I can't find it anymore :( I'm sure there are more, but I've had enough of thinking for now.
