If you haven’t had a chance to listen to our December Meanjin podcast episode, we highly recommend that you do so now. The episode features Jonathan Green chatting with author Robert Lukins and library director, writer and critic Justine Hyde about reading habits, book recommendations, and how the discussions of book-loving communities have enriched their reading lives.
We were also lucky enough to receive summer reading recommendations from 17 of our favourite writers. Have a look at the list below, but make sure you tune in to the podcast to hear more discussion.
