I'm doing a desperate last-minute attempt to read all four of the shortlisted novels. I've read China Mieville's 'The City & The City' so far, and thought it was very good - much better than I had imagined from the comments I've seen about it. Only three more books to go, and I've got at least a day to read them in - whoops! I have at least got all the books to hand, so that's something. Just as long as I don't go to bed this weekend, I should be fine ... :-)
