Man Booker Challenge Complete!

Six books.
Winners, shortlisted, and longlisted books counted.

The ones I read:

  1. Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood (1989 shortlist)
  2. Life and Times of Michael K by Coetzee (1983 winner)
  3. Life of Pi by Yann Martel (2002 winner)
  4. On Chesil Beach by McEwan (2007 shortlist)
  5. The Gathering by Enright (2007 winner)
  6. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Haddon (2003 longlist)
  7. Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner
  8. The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry (2008 shortlist)
  9. The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga (2008 winner)

I liked all of them except On Chesil Beach. The Gathering was not enjoyable due to the subject matter, but it was thought-provoking.  My favorites were Cat’s Eye and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.  Thanks, Dewey, for a great challenge!
