Hmmm. Pleased to see Hilary Mantel on there - that's excellent. And I enjoyed Harold Fry - but it's surely not good enough to be shortlisted.
But the rest I know nothing of. Apparently half of them are not even published till September....
No Timothy Mo. No Peter Carey. No Philip Henscher. Annoying, as I bought all those already...
