Marlon James wins the Man Booker Prize for A Brief History of Seven Killings

My favorite book of the year just won the Man Booker Prize for 2015.  I am ecstatic.  James definitely deserves this award.  My thoughts on the book soon.

not that he'll read this, but 
Congratulations!

It's October, and Halloween is in the air


which means that I will be setting aside most of my normal reading in favor of books that send shivers up and down my spine and leave me with a nice case of the willies.

To catch up, I've read Undermajordomo Minor by Patrick deWitt (my thoughts coming soon) and Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories (more on that book soon as well).  I'll also come back shortly with how much I loved A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James.

For now, though, it's on to the book-lined road to Halloween and  things that go bump in the night....
