Realisations

I had two sudden realisations recently. One was that the 2011 Booker Prize was due soon, and I HAD NOT READ ANYTHING from the shortlist. The other realisation was that the Booker Prize also had a longlist, none of which I had perused. Cue extensive library borrowing, toppling towers of books, overdue notices and fines. However, I have read several excellent books in the last few weeks, and have plans to release a flurry of reviews. Probably quite soon, as I have a great number of other tasks I should, by rights, be prioritising.
