Last night I took part in the Booker debate at the Octagon Theatre in Yeovil. Interesting because I was the only person on the panel who loved their allocated book. So will the Booker judges feel the same? We'll have to wait until next week to find out!
But if you haven't yet read "The Sense of an Ending" by Julian Barnes then I can't recommend it strongly enough!
Thanks for the recommendation. Glad you enjoyed your allocated book. I'll check out "The Sense of an Ending".
ReplyDeleteI am not sure which one I would chose to win, I think in a way is an arbitary decision; the good thing is it raises writers profiles and gets people talking about books.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, it must be a tough decision to make. I guess a lot of it comes down to personal taste in the end :-)
ReplyDeleteThe Sense of an Ending.... I'll check it out on GoodReads.
ReplyDeleteOver from the Bloffee, nice blog title. ;)
Yay! It won - And so it should - it's brilliant!
