I haven't read any of them - but I wouldn't mind seeing Howard Jacobson win, I've enjoyed what I've read of his.
But I agree with previous posters that the Man Booker Prize has a patchy record.
My favourite previous winner (of the ones I've read) is "The Siege of Krishnapur" by J. G. Farrell.
Least favourite is "Possession" by A. S. Byatt.
