Best of the Booker - Vote

Best of the Booker is a contest to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Booker Prize. Judges have already whittled the field down to six books and now the public is invited to cast their vote. You've got until July 8th to make your pick. The winner will be announced July 10th. Click here to vote. (Rumour has it only a few thousand people have voted so far. Only a few thousand people worldwide care enough about literature to vote? C'mon people! If you don't want to be lumped in with the illiterate masses click that link now and vote!)

I voted! I voted for Pat Barker as her books about the Great War are sublime showing the horror of the whole event and how it destroyed a generation of young men.

I can't vote. I haven't read any of these winners. Sorry.

Way to go Grain of Sand! Thanks for voting. And Bybee, well, I guess you've got some new titles to add to that endless "To Be Read" list.
