Place a bet on who you think will win the Booker Prize

The winner of the 2006 Man Booker Prize will be announced on the 10th of October. Despite my best efforts, I haven't managed to read all of the six books on the shortlist (below). However, I got my hands on a copy of Sarah Waters' The Night Watch and have been consequently neglecting my work, hiding in the corner of my office cubicle trying to give off the impression of deep concentration and hard work while I devour this incredible novel. Many people would like to write great historical fiction, Sarah Waters has done it.


2006 Man Booker Prize Shortlist:

The Inheritance of Loss - Kiran Desai

The Secret River - Kate Grenville

Carry Me Down - MJ Hyland

In the Country of Men - Hisham Matar

Mother’s Milk - Edward St Aubyn

The Night Watch - Sarah Waters
