Hello Shell
I too like to read the short list and in fact read this year's winner,
Garden of Evening Mist, which I did thoroughly enjoy.

Hi Alison,
I didn't enjoy Swimming Home by Deborah Levy either, but I finished it
because I had bought it. I find with the Man Booker books that some years I
like most of them and other years I can't get along with hardly any. It must
be to do with the different judges. I still look forward to the short list
every year though.
Hope you have some more inspirational books next month, sometimes reading
goes like that.
Shell.
