I can't wait to read Disgrace! I'm so glad you're enjoying it - it has made me want to read it even sooner. I'll check it out from the library soon.
I really like the Man Booker Prize - Every book I've read that's been on their long list, short list, or prize list has been incredible.

Thanks for posting the link Jefie! I've read only two books from that list and I liked them both, so I really want to read more Booker Prize books.

I just finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid which is on this year's short list. This book was incredible - completely fascinating and a very important subject matter. It offers a different point of view of terrorism and America's reaction to terrorism and foreign policy.

I think the only one I've read on this list is On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. Well, at least I read it voluntarily and not for school, which is the case with most books I've read from awarded book lists.

The Man Booker prize for this year is going to be announced tuesday! I've read two of the six on the shortlist, and I have one more of them out from the library right now that I'm going to try to finish before tuesday (Mister Pip).
