    He was a long shot, to be sure.

    Laura Thanks for posting this....somehow in all the madness of this week I forgot all about the Booker - silly me. Well, my instincts were all wrong...I thought the 1000 Autumns would win for sure. Luckily I have the Finkler Question out of the library at the moment so I can read it ! :)

    Luvvie, I was hoping for the Mitchell book also, but it didn't even make the shortlist. And I realized yesterday that I never posted the shortlist here :/

    I've just ordered The Finkler Question on amazon, I have high hopes for it. I hadn't heard of the Booker Challenger before, and I think its probably too late in the year for me to even manage the Winners Circle, but I'll definitely be aiming for Booker Devotee next year.

    book caterpillar, some of our contributors signed up for the 2010 challenge, others consider Booker Prize reading a "perpetual" challenge with no time limit. Of course you are welcome to sign up for 2011, but wanted to make you aware of the alternative.
