Radio National runs Top 100 Books poll

ABC Radio National is running a month-long poll to compile a list of its top 100 books of the 21st century.

The poll, which opened 1 September, asks readers to choose between 1 and 10 books. Voters are prompted to vote for books that ‘changed you or your view of the world, you return to every year, or just blew you away for some other reason’.

All books published in English between 1 January 2000 and 31 August 2025 are eligible. The voting portal provides a list of local and international titles, while participants can also manually add unlisted titles of their own choosing.

The poll will close on 2 October, with the Top 100 Books countdown to take place on air over two days, 18 and 19 October.

More information is available on the Radio National website.
