2008 Man Booker Prize Shortlist Possibles
I'm running a bit later than usual this year. Still have a good six months to go before the Booker frenzy really kicks in.
Be aware that these are my suggestions. Sometimes I get the publication date wrong or I'm confused as to the
nationality of the author, in which case the books listed won't be eligible. Keep that in mind.
- March 5, 2008.
I've added a few new books here. The Winton is looking particuarly strong at this time.
- May 8, 2008.
It seems to be a quiet year so far, or maybe I haven't been paying attention. A few more additions.
