Anyone else reading the Booker prize winners?

Post Reply New Topic

I have (over the past three years or so) been able to read all but two of the winning novels for the Booker Prize.

Some are worthy, others, not so much.

The two remaining on the list for me to read are P.H. Newby's Something To Answer For, and In a Free State by V.S. Naipul. This two winners from the early 70's have proven impossible to find at the library or at the bookstore. I will have to order them special some time soon in order to get them checked off.

My favourites have been:

The Siege of Krishnapur
The Remains of the Day
The Famished Road
how late it was, how late
and my absoloute favourite has been Sacred Hunger

Just interested to read if others here have been working their way through the list?

I have only read The Famished Road by Ben Okri. I really liked it but I am not irritated by magic realism like some people are.
