After reading (and loving) three from the shortlist and one from the longlist of this year's Man Booker Prize I will now have to read the rest of the shortlist at the very least. I had made up my mind to read Emma Donoghue's "Room" for I am aware of the incident it is inspired from. Tom McCarthy's "C" attracts me after my tryst with two classes in electromagnetics. The only novel left from the shortlist will be 'The Finkler Question' and there is no point reading the ones which lost without reading the winner. Already this was the closest I had shadowed any literary award, I will just have to go all the way now.

Phewww..how many of them are you going to devour??
Sainath, read fifteen novels over the last three months. Wish I could say I understood all of them fully. Even then, I strictly believe "something is better than nothing", appended with another tweaked adage, "nothing is NOT better than nonsense."
