You’re the same as me then Goddess. And I agree, Broken Glass is a good un. Here’s hoping it goes all the way.

It’s a wonderful shortlist isn’t it Marcia? I’m surprised Littell didn’t make it, but it’s nice to see the indy’s coming out on top. I’ve got the Schami ordered from my local library, so if you pick it up yourself then we can compare notes in the near future

Funny book.

I like this list! Primarily because I’ve read 2 and have one more in the TBR. Need to get myself a copy of the Schami though to keep my Germanophiliac tendencies satisfied.

I’m quite surprised this year to have read one of the books — Brodeck’s Report. I highly recommend it for being thought-provoking and a bit mysterious.
