I have to sit out the rest of the books. But I am hopeful to discover some wonderful books :)Irishttp://irisonbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-73928134528093826392012-03-09T15:47:35.975+00:002012-03-09T15:47:35.975+00:00We have a similar approach in that I don't spe...We have a similar approach in that I don't spend any time looking at the descriptions -- though I've enjoyed the brief summaries that I've seen others compiling since the list was announced, and there does seem to be quite an interesting assortment of themes -- I'm simply interested in the books that the jury has chosen, in the surprises that I expect to find there. Reading the longlist will be harder than ever for me this year, as I've only read one (Esi Edugyan's novel), but I'll see what I can do. I'm starting with Ann Patchett's because, like you and <i>The Flying Man</i>, I found a copy of <i>State of Wonder</i> on the paperback shelves at the library a couple of weeks ago, just by luck.Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203825390310863045.post-81913146272262134972012-03-08T22:04:21.341+00:002012-03-08T22:04:21.341+00:00I shall look forward to reading your reviews.

Hopefully not *too* interesting, or my Kindle samples will have to translate into purchases & I am not allowing myself to buy any books during Lent. Mrs W. kindly lent me "Gillespie & I" *months* ago, so that will have to go to the top of the TBR pile now!Ali Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595941215998565255noreply@blogger.com
