Hooray!
I'm so pleased that Julian Barnes has taken the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of An Ending - this has been one of my favourite reads all year and well deserves the honour. I think his writing has gotten better and better with each recent book. I loved Flaubert's Parrot, but the novels in between were hit and miss for me. I started reading him seriously again with his non-fiction mediation on death - Nothing to Be Frightened Of - and I loved his last collection of short stories, Pulse.
