ABC Radio National is calling on book lovers across Australia to be part of a new national tradition: The Top 100 Books countdown.
Across Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 October, ABC Radio will count down the books that have shaped Australia's cultural memory, in a special two-day live broadcast event.
From Anthony Griffiths and Terry Denton's 'The 13-Storey Treehouse' to the works of Margaret Atwood, from poetry to politics, readers are invited to vote for the stories that have moved them, challenged them, or stayed with them long after the first chapter.
The theme for the inaugural countdown is 'The Top 100 Books of the 21st Century' - a celebration of the most powerful, beloved, and talked-about books published in English between January 1, 2000, and August 31, 2025.
All genres are welcome; if you've read it, you can vote for it.
