Update 19.9.09 I'm currently reading The Twyborn Affair by Patrick White. I've also read some children's novels and listen to audio-books on my way to work but I'm not counting those for this challenge. IMO reading a book is a different experience to hearing it.

Nice list! What did you think of The Devil's Advocate? I've had my eye on it, but it gets mixed reviews, so it never seems to bubble up on the ol' TBR pile.

I enjoyed The Devil's Advocate; it may have been my favorite of his books.

I was surprised actually. It was a book group nomination and I had doubts about it, but I enjoyed it. See my review http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com/2009/0...
