Romance was involved in the Most Mentioned chart this week, with Andre Gorz's Letter to D: A Love Story coming in at number 3. Gorz’s book tells the story of the ultimate love letter from a man to the woman he loves more than life itself, after he discovers she is dying. Tim Winton’s newest novel, Breath, retains its position at the top of the chart, having featured in many of the major metropolitan newspapers over the weekend. Judith Lucy’s autobiographical book also makes it for the second week in a row.
