| | | hello eloise. i love elliot perlman! i just read some tim winton books and thought he was really good too.
i've read oscar and lucinda but no others by peter carey ... which is your favourite??
i think i can maybe bring myself to accept at least one recommendation. as long as you haven't styled your hair like vicky anne already ...

| | | I'm sure it's well out of fashion now, but I thought Voss, by Patrick White, was a fantastic read.

| | | All I can think of is Candy, by Luke Davies. It was pretty good, better than a lot of the drugs/sex/romance crap that seems to be rife.
