Which books should make the cut in the Top 100 Australian Books countdown?

Which stories endure, provoke, and define us? Come weigh the contenders and explore what really belongs among Australia’s greatest books.
About this Event

Join ABC Radio National’s Sarah L’Estrange (The Book Show), alongside acclaimed Australian authors for a lively, all-Australian book club at the ABC’s Southbank TV studios for this live-stream event.

The authors will champion the books they think define us - across time and across genres - but we want your help remembering the many titles that deserve to make the ultimate all-Australian reading list.

From classic and contemporary fiction to iconic cookbooks and children’s stories, sweeping histories to sharp political nonfiction, there are no limits. If it’s Australian and it matters to you, we want to hear about it.

Come ready to argue, celebrate, and leave with your own Top 10 - ready for ABC Radio National’s upcoming Top 100 Australian Books vote ahead of the live broadcast countdown on Oct 17 and 18.
