Begin at the beginning - talking books in Australia

I've been perusing the wide world of weblogs, fascinated with the conversations about books that are going on around the world - namely in the US. While the conversation is interesting and the dialogue engaging, they're mostly discussing books we don't even sell over here. To say that I'm jealous of the contemporary fiction, you yanks have access to is insufficient.

So, I thought, by starting one in Australia, those in this country interested in talking about books would at least have access to them. This does not mean that I want only to discuss Australian books, no way. I'm thinking we'll discuss anything we can find in Australian book stores or libraries. In addition, I want everyone to join. I'm not isolating the discussion to the southern hemisphere. No way.

Anyway, where to start? Well, I envisage a book a fortnight. Am I being to bold? Am I silly? Over conscientious? Too enthusiastic in my beginning blog? Maybe....probably....let's try anyway. We can always change it later.

When, or more specifically, if there appears to be a following we can select books together. Thus far, it's just my choice. I should revel in it while it lasts!

So, welcome to anyone who's interested. Lovely to meet you.
