I have amazing Ds-i-L and one, in particular, is a superb present giver, and one Christmas gave me the full set of Booker nominees; I wouldn't have bought a lot of them, but because I had them, I read them. Such a treat, and so good for me to learn that I should TRY! Which means I should give Julian Barnes a chance....again.
I have it on my list to read next, I am really glad he won. I loved Flaubert's Parrot and Arthur and George. I am not a great Booker Prize fan but one or two of them this year look good.
I'm hoping this is in the right place and hasn't been posted elsewhere. Has anyone else read the Julian Barnes - The Sense of an Ending? I'm not a huge Booker prize fan and only read one or two of the books - three of this year's shortlist - but I thought this was a wonderful book and he deserved to win.
