Vernon God Little was such an awful reading experience that I decided to take a break from the Bookers for a while to read some other stuff, including Roberto Bolaño's staggering 2666, a novel so good that it made Vernon God Little seem even worse, if that's possible, than it appeared at first. Anyway, here are a few thoughts on the project so far.
1. It's going pretty well! Apart from the above mentioned travesty (how the jaysus did it win??!?) all the books I've read have been good.
2. Now that I'm back from Fiji, and my options for books to read are comparatively boundless, I think I'll have to really commit to reading a certain number of Booker winners a year, or else I'll just keep reading other things and never catch up!
3. Really, how did it win??!
