Booker Long List
And the race is on:
Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger is one of the best books I've read in a while (review coming soon), and Salmon Rushdie's Enchantress of Florence is one of the worst. I say let Rushdie continue to rest on his laurels about Midnight's Children and pass the coveted prize to someone else. Child 44 and Netherland are supposed to be AMAZING, so I will definitely read those. Hopefully, I can read all of them before October.
Aravind Adiga The White Tiger
Gaynor Arnold Girl in a Blue Dress
Sebastian Barry The Secret Scripture
John Berger From A to X
Michelle de Kretser The Lost Dog
Amitav Ghosh Sea of Poppies
Linda Grant The Clothes on Their Backs
Mohammed Hanif A Case of Exploding Mangoes
Philip Hensher The Northern Clemency
Joseph O'Neill Netherland
Salman Rushdie The Enchantress of Florence
Tom Rob Smith Child 44
Steve Toltz A Fraction of the Whole
