We were dismayed to see no Australians on the New York Times Best Books of the 21st Century โ€“ so, with the help of 50 experts, we created our own, all-Australian list. You can have your say, too!

Yeah, I'm saying you (as in "a person", not you-you) could pick a few from these 50 - I'm not saying start reading 50 books and only finish the ones you like lol. I'd guess "experts" might pick a few of the titles different from popular ratings so there's probably some meaningful differences vs "goodreads top 50 books by Australian authors", but I'm not an avid reader so idk, maybe you'd have a better idea ๐Ÿ˜…

It's probably more a reflection of my general topic/genre preference over author/nationality/individual.

And if you give me 50+ random experts, I'm tapping out....
