The long, longlist of books nominated for the 2010 International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award have now been announced. The full list contains 156 titles from all parts of the globe, and, as usual, I've made an attempt to list all the Australian books on the list. Which also means that I've probably missed a few, in which case please feel free to write and let me know of any omissions.

People of the Book, Geraldine Brooks
His Illegal Self, Peter Carey
God of Speed, Luke Davies
Wanting, Richard Flanagan
The Spare Room, Helen Garner
The Forgotten Garden, Kate Morton
A Fraction of the Whole, Steve Toltz
