For anyone interested in #astronauts in space, Samantha #Harvey |s book #Orbital, winner of the #BookerPrize 2024, is a must read. It describes one day of an imagined crew on the International Space Station #ISS.

Book 27: On Earth As It Is Beneath
Second re-read for the Booker Shortlist.
Same feelings on re read, so short and could have done with a bit of mystery or metaphorical leanings, rather than being to definitive.
There are better longlist books

Book 26: The Director
First of the Re Reads for the Booker, still one of the greatest pieces of modern literature, this one is for those that loved Zone Of Interest

Book 25: Small Comfort
11th International Booker, and the first one I actively hated.

The shortlist for the 2026 International #BookerPrize is here! We’ve got two debut novels, a book that first came out thirty years ago, and a couple of returning nominees – exactly the kind of variety this prize is known for.

Screenshot of BBC website with the heading "BBC apologises to Bernardine Evaristo for 'another author' ad lib"
This all reminds me of the time when 👑 #BernardineEvaristo won the #BookerPrize in 2019, jointly with #MargaretAtwood. In a comment while reporting on the winners of the Turner Prize that same year, Shaun Ley referred to Bernardine as "another author".

Which of these have you read? Which should I read? The Director is already on my list, and The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran sounds promising. Taiwan Travelogue also piques my interest. Your thoughts? #bookerprize #novels #worldliterature
Actually sinking into a hefty novel after a long time is a completely delightful experience.

I've never seen the movie, perhaps I should but the documentary novel is a great, if at times, a difficult read.

I have just finished reading the 2016 novel The Party Wall, written by Catherine Leroux. #Books #Literature #BookerPrize #GillerPrize
Just finished reading #Eradication by #JonathonMiles.
What a read. Extremely thought provoking. Would be great for book club discussion. I'm thinking listing for this years #BookerPrize
For the first time, I’m taking interest in the Booker Prize longlist for 2026. I’m intrigued to read the current year’s entries.
Have you read any? Are any on your reading list?

Read the #Bookerprize winning #Flesh by David Szalay. Not my normal genre but it was on #ebooks at the library. It’s about a man’s life from teenage through jobs relationships & to middleage. It was quite compelling but no plot as such just a study on life. I recommend it.

Possession by A. S. Byatt is an intricate novel that went on to win the Booker Prize in 1990. #booksky #postmodernism #bookerprize #bookreview

Book 24: The Duke
10th International Booker
If you enjoy classic literature, if the court intrigue of Tyrion Lannister was your favourite part of Game of thrones, if Dostoyevsky philosophy style makes you tingle, this is the International Booker for you.
