And, speaking of the Man Booker 2010 authors and shortlist ...

I came across a terrific blog which discusses titles, long and short lists, reviews the books, and throws in other awards -- like the Giller Prize to boot.

http://kevinfromcanada.wordpress.com...er-jury-plans/

It also reminds us the finalist will be announced Oct 12 ... leaving us time still to read some of the titles in the shortlist.

The entry point to "KevinFromCanada" (or KfC as he short-forms it) is: http://kevinfromcanada.wordpress.com/
A reminder that these include:

Parrot and Olivier in America, by Peter Carey
Room, by Emma Donoghue
In A Strange Room, by Damon Galgut
The Finkler Question, by Howard Jacobson
The Long Song, by Andrea Levy
C, by Tom McCarthy

And most are available in UK, US and Canada as e-books (see much earlier in the thread where I captured sources).
