I haven't had time to look at the Booker longlist properly, but I do so like them all laid out like this, like a big plate of cakes.
I haven't had time to look at it properly to see if it reads like the Orange Prize shortlist, which if you remember I couldn't bring myself to tackle.
I'm much more down with misery now, however. I'm drinking more. I can handle anything they throw at me.
Our village bookgroup had planned to read our way through the Orange list. If we added the Booker list too we'd still be reading them in 2012 ...
ReplyDeleteI really want to read the Coetzee and the Toibin books from that selection. What a great idea for a reading list!
