I'm very excited because the longlist for the Man Booker Prize was recently announced. This award, along with the National Book Awards, is one of the few literary awards I pay attention to year after year. Besides being excited, I'm also a bit overwhelmed since I have to add most of these to my to-read list. Keep in mind, a few of these titles are not officially out until the Fall.
Here are the titles:
Five Star Billionaire Tash Aw (Fourth Estate)
A Tale for the Time Being Ruth Ozeki (Canongate)
