The Complete Booker 2011 Challenge

The Complete Booker originated in August, 2007 to bring together book lovers and book bloggers interested in reading winners of The Man Booker Prize for Fiction.  In 2008 we also began posting reviews of short- and long-listed nominees.  In three short years, The Complete Booker has blossomed into a rich source of information.  We now have reviews of every single Booker Prize winner (except 1977 is missing ... what's up with that?  Has no one reviewed Paul Scott's Staying On?).  Numerous short- and long-listed titles have also been reviewed here. 

Each year brings more interesting nominees, and the prize archives are filled with excellent literature. Whether you're new to the Booker Prize or an avid fan, you'll find there are several ways to contribute to The Complete Booker.
