The long list for those of you who (justifiably) don't keep up with Man Booker's inner workings is the first round of finalists for the yearly prize (which I believe comes in October). The long list will soon turn into a short list and then everyone will go mad trying to read all the short list books before a finalist is chosen, right?
My only comment about the list: "Ian McEwan again!"
I've never read him, but doesn't it seem they have their nose up his ass a bit?

I only read McEwan's Amsterdam, but it sucked.
Yeah that's usually what I hear about his books...
Don't bother to read any, he can't write at all. His grammar is appalling.
