Well, that's my list.

I really enjoyed The White Tiger - it wasn't my personal vote from the Booker shortlist, but I wasn't unhappy that it won at all. Plus I love a good unreliable narrator.
And I just read Olive Kitteridge last week and some of the stories are exceptional - good reading
I did give in last night and bought a few more:
The Food of a Younger Land by Mark Kurlansky
Censoring an Iranian Love Story by Shahriar Mandanipour
Drood by Dan Simmons
The House at Riverton: A Novel by Kate Morton
Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman
