Choose a Book - Change the Nation

Dear Avid Reader & Political Champion,

Summer, it is that time of the year when our political leaders recess and wander in to the room of mirrors to think about the year that was (and wasn't it!) and the year ahead. At Avid Reader we would like all our political leaders to consider the vital cultural role writers, publishers, booksellers and readers play in this country. See Books Create Australia for all you need to know about book politics that will be happening in 2017. 

At Avid Reader we spend our days recommending books to customers and now it is your turn to make some Summer reading recommendations to our federal political leaders. Choose from the list of titles below - you can choose more than one book or make your own recommendation. On your behalf we will send the title with the most votes in each question to the Prime Minister, Mr. Turnbull and the Opposition Leader, Mr Shorten in time for their summer reading. Sorry, we are not doing the other major party leaders. Yes, we know there are no fiction titles listed. We have our reasons.

Thanks for helping our political leaders out with their Summer reading. I am sure it will help us all in 2017.
Fiona Stager, Avid Reader Bookshop & Cafe
