A
Brief Australian Bibliography
BOOKS
The non-fiction titles are Steve’s recommendations.
There are fewer of these because they take longer to read.
The novels, ranging from shameless brain candy to excellent
historical and literary fiction, are Elizabeth’s.
Almost all of the authors have numerous worthy titles – these
are just a few that we enjoyed or were enlightened by. We hope this
list will encourage you to explore within your own tastes.
