While considering the logistical demands of reading all the Booker Prize winning books I did consider buying them all, secondhand due to financial reasons! However, I decided with threats to our library system in the pipeline I would exercise my democratic right by borrowing as many as possible and then perhaps purchase any particular highlights that I could not live without owning. While contemplating a strategy I realised that it would be a challenge to read them in any order so I decided that as Wolf Hall was the only one that was owned by any of my immediate friends or family, this would be as good as any with which to start the process.
I am still staying on to follow your wonderful blog. I have read nearly all the books you have read. Amazingly I agree with many of your insightful comments and reviews on the books with a few exceptions. Thank you for the opportunity to travel with you on this fascinating journey.
