I probably wouldn't have read it again if I hadn't decided to do the Booker Prize thing, but I'm glad I did.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-63775680489734251412013-10-12T20:16:07.690+01:002013-10-12T20:16:07.690+01:00Sounds good, sounds intense.

Pre-crime reading days. Kind of reminds me of Going After Cacciato, but not too much.<br /><br />Escape literature - have you read Rawicz's The Long Walk - well worth a look IMO?col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-78282645587730665192013-10-11T08:49:50.849+01:002013-10-11T08:49:50.849+01:00Yes isn't it funny? - it isn't always the ...Yes isn't it funny? - it isn't always the books you expect to that stick in your mind.

Interesting isn't it how the kinds of books that are listed for the Booker change (and sometimes don't) over time.
