And the winner is...
Only one of the Booker prize nominated books has really ever interested me. Colm Toibin's 'The Master' seems interesting, literary, clever and well worth a read. (Note to self: buy book, read).
Only possibly the Woodward book has otherwise managed to interest me slightly.
But, of course, now I have to reconsider.
In theory, the Hollinghurst is right up my street. The 80's; Thatcher, HIV, The Smiths. But somehow, somewhere, it seems cold and middle-of-the-road and, well, boring.
Anyway, congratulations Alan Hollinghurst, on winning the Man Booker prize 2004. May you be worthy.
