 have largely pedestrian tastes. I nonetheless make a point of reading Booker Prize winners. Of these, I recommend, first, The Finkler Question by Jacobson, The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Flanagan, The Secret River by Grenville, and last year's winner, Prophet Song by Lynch. And he says, for pure enjoyment, I read Carl Hiaasen. Carl Hiaasen is also a very interesting author.
