I have started The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson. I was excited when I saw that this was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, as I met the author a few times when he used to own a shop down in Boscastle, and I have read some of his earlier books. Although he doesn't live there any more, I have followed his career over the years. So, when the book won, I had to read it, even though I would normally consider a Booker as likely to be too highbrow for me.
I am reading the book as an e-book on my iPad - I was impatient to get my hands on it.
