I think I’ve only read one book on the Booker Prize short list – Sarah Waters of course. I’ve reserved the rest of them at the library because this year I want to read a bunch of them, not just a couple like in years past. While I wait for them to arrive, I’m really enjoying this Man Booker Prize Blog.
How many books on the short list have you read? How many do you think you might read? You are going to read Night Watch, soon, right?

Own it. Haven’t read it. Need to within the next month so I can hopefully get her to sign it when I go to the reading/round table thingy. (note to self – order your ticket soon)
I doubt that I’ll read many of the others on the list. The GG short list will be announced next month so I’ll have to read those. Ohh the Giller’s are next month too.
I tried reading The Night Watch earlier this year but got sidetracked by other books. Haven’t read any of the other nominees.
I might try In the Company of Men and MAYBE the Desai book…
Hmph at not reading Sarah Waters – well actually, if you haven’t read any of her books before, Nightwatch is not my favorite, but really you should read it anyway.
I have all but one of them here and that one is not available at my doggone library. HMPH!
