They move the cafe out to the back so anyone who wants a drink or a snack has to traipse all the way through the store. And naturally, on their way there—human nature being what it is—they’ll pick up a little something extra.

Reading Alan Hollinghurst's latest novel: "Our Evenings." He never disappoints. Deserving winner of this year's #Manbooker prize. #novel #fiction #LGBTQ bookshop.org/p/books/our-...
Love this. It's so weird that I am the only person I know who has read it, and it got the #ManBooker
Oh my gosh this is a good read.
The glossary is as interesting as Simon Winchester's footnotes.

Congratulations to Hillary Mantell on winning the Mann Booker for Bringing Up The Bodies. Brilliant book, well deserved #manbooker
Hilary Mantel is trending-- I'm guessing, yes, I'm right, she won the #ManBooker. I still think of it as the Booker.
Yes, but what’s everyone WEARING? #manbooker
I predict Mantel to win, and her next book, EVERYBODY ELSE DIES, also to win, and that she’ll retire amid accusations of doping. #manbooker
EXCLUSIVE: Judges cannot agree so no prize will be awarded this year. Audience rises up and tears them to pieces. #manbooker
If Mantel wins will she give her speech in the third person? #manbooker
Booker judges announce competition: “One of the books on the #manbooker longlist is not just obscure, but imaginary. Answers on a postcard.”
Pleased to see Michael Frayn's Skios, which I just read, made the #manbooker longlist; he's been a brilliant comic writer for 50 years.
