Yay - thanks for the lists, you are a gent.:O)
I guess Claire Messud is one of those shapeshifters who goes back and forth between being American, Canadian, British, and French whenever the mood suits her?Guardian, 2003: "Whether mischievously or incompetently, publishers submitted a number of authors who weren't eligible, three of whom would have been strong contenders. Claire Messud holds three passports, none of them British."

Phil - you ARE the Bee's Knees - thanks for updating. Soon be time for the next ones to fall off the trees

Thanks, Bettie! Yes, the years seem to whizz by faster and faster. So many of these I meant to read but haven't or didn't.

The years do fly by, non-readers don't seem to notice it as much, do they! They talk about stress here and stress there but they know NOTHING if they haven't tried to keep up with the award lists, the TBR mountains, and that burgeoning pile of Must Re-read Or Bust items.
I never knew I owned so many Booker Prize nominees... 71 of them, no less. And I haven't even counted the winners, as they are not part of this list.
#170 The Transit of Venus - I can't find any evidence it was longlisted or shortlisted for the Booker.
