In case you didn't remember the significance of today I am here to remind you. Today the the Man Booker 2006 winner gets announced. The official press release was at 10 am in London on BBC1. Which was many a hour since its nearly 12 in Chicago. Yet somehow I can't figure out who won. It's not on the Booker website, nor on BBC1. Let me know if you hear anything.
In eager anticipation,

UPDATE: Kiran Desai is announced winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2006.
So I'm thinking maybe they are going to announce it on the evening news @ 10. Which would make more sense. And that gives us 12 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why I am so curious about this. Sorry to force you into what is obviously a result of my boredom.
And I'm going to stick with Nightwatch, by Sarah Waters. But best of luck to all the contestants!!
ReplyDeleteI gave up on "Theft." by Peter Carey (it was on the long list). I probably would have finished it were I not in school, but when I got busy I totally lost interest since the main character was, to me, totally unlikeable.
ReplyDeleteHave you read "A Corner of the Universe" by Ann M. Martin? It's YA, of course and it's a quick read. If you're wondering that IS the woman who wrote the Babysitter's Club (but don't hold that against her because this book rather blew me away). I would be interested in other's opinions of this book if anyone has read it.
