Does anyone follow the Booker (http://www.themanbookerprize.com/news/stories/1252)winners and honorees? Even though there's a little discussion in the Pulitzer thread, I thought it deserved it's own. The 2009 longlist was recently announced. Only a couple are available in the US, and I don't think there are any Brits on the site, so this may be futile, but anybody read 'em? Liked 'em? Planning on reading 'em?
