Most popular posts on Reading Matters

I always find it fascinating to find out which of my posts receive the most traffic over the course of a week. I always know when certain books have become set texts or are being studied by school students because one of my reviews will suddenly become very popular for no apparent reason. 'The Tortilla Curtain' by T.C. Boyle and 'The Shark Net' by Robert Drewe are just two cases in point.

For interests sake, I thought I'd take a look at the most visited pages during 2008. According to my site stats, these were (in order of popularity):

• Top 10s: My favourite coming-of-age novels (3,716 page views)

• Top 10s: my favourite novels about Australia (1,963)

• 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' by Truman Capote (1,495)

• An oh-so brief guide to London bookstores  (1,341)

• Fiction index page (1,276)

• Book Group: Session 4 discussion - FALL ON YOUR KNEES by Ann-Marie MacDonald (1,238)

• 'Jessica' by Bryce Courtenay (1,230)

• The Angus & Robertson Top 100 List (1,172)
