Booker Longlist
The longlist for the 2010 Booker Prize was announced today. Behold:
- Peter Carey Parrot and Olivier in America
- Emma Donoghue Room *
- Helen Dunmore The Betrayal*
- Damon Galgut In a Strange Room
- Howard Jacobson The Finkler Question*
- Andrea Levy The Long Song
- Tom McCarthy C*
- David Mitchell The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet
- Lisa Moore February
- Paul Murray Skippy Dies*
- Rose Tremain Trespass*
- Christos Tsiolkas The Slap
- Alan Warner The Stars in the Bright Sky*
Of the 13 titles nominated, just over half are not available in the US (*). I’ve only read one title so far, an ARC of Skippy Dies . I know that The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet and Parrot and Olivier in America will appear soon in my “to be read” stack. Anyone else read any of these yet?

I’m currently reading David Mitchell’s book, and I’ve heard of Parrot and Olivier, but all the rest are a complete mystery to me! I may have to look into them soon.
