Bookered

And congrats to Hilary Mantel on winning this year's Man Booker Prize with Bring up the Bodies - the sequel to Wolf Hall, which also won the MBP in 2009. "You wait 20 years for a Booker Prize and then two come along at once" she quipped. And then there's the Whitbread, the Orange... As Kingsley Amis said,  “Literary prizes are all right - if you win them.”
