Booker Shortlist Announced. . .

Darn it all, David Mitchell didn't make the shortlist.  This has ruined my day.  However, I am happy to see Tom McCarthy, Damon Galgut and Emma Donaghue make the cut; I've read all three books and were impressed.

Here's the list:

Parrot and Olivier in America by Peter Carey

Room by Emma Donoghue
In a Strange Room by Damon Galgut
The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson
The Long Song by Andrea Levy

C by Tom McCarthy
