 here it is -- the Man Booker Prize shortlist for 2012

Hilary Mantel -- Bring up the Bodies -- (Fourth Estate)


Alison Moore -- The Lighthouse -- (Salt)


 Will Self -- Umbrella -- (Bloomsbury)

At this point, I've got only Umbrella left to read of the six. Does anyone have any comments about what wasn't listed?

Not that they'll read this, but congratulations to the authors and  to the publishers!
