The Booker Prize winner in 1995. For a long time I avoided reading books just because they'd won the Booker, as I thought they'd be a bit much for me - hard work and a bit worthy. Having read some really brilliant ones though such as Wolf Hall, Shuggie Bain and Lincoln in the Bardo I've become more open to them. I couldn't get into the Ghost Road though. It's a WWI set novel dealing with some officers suffering from injuries and shellshock who have also spent time with headhunters as anthropologists and are gay. I didn't know who was who though and didn't really follow it. My loss It's the third part of a trilogy, perhaps I should have started at the beginning.
