Unlike many other awards, I really respect Booker. But in the past they too have shown some suspension of literary taste. I don't know what you think (I would be glad if you offer your opinion)but The Line of Beauty was terrible, Vernon God Little was terrible, I hated The God of Small Things. I believe the best novel which won a Booker is How Late It Was, How Late.
But I am just 23, so you should not to take my literary taste seriously
