Heh, yes they're all very eligible. I haven't read any of them, or for that matter any of our nominations this month. I've seen the Kubrick film of 2001 but honestly wasn't aware it was adapted from a book (I guess that shows my general ignorance of sci-fi since I know Clarke is a famous and heavy hitter in the genre). I love Waugh because of Brideshead Revisited but haven't read Scoop. Beyond the Black Stump is one I wasn't aware of at all, though I did like the Shute I read of A Town Like Alice for the old general MR club I'm not sure exactly when but a long time ago - gosh, it must be closer to a decade ago now - and I also have Shute's On the Beach on my tbr.
