Winners to be announced October 6th, 2009. I used to think this a waste of money, but when you think how much footballers get paid....

I'm quite excited to be able to read some of these. In particular J M Coetzee and A S Byatt.  Is there anything here, which really intrigues you? What do you think of the covers, do they grab you by the short and curlies?

    Hi, Masha!

    I have 'The Little Black Book of Stories" by A.S. Byatt, and it is very good. It's nice to see authors get published with short stories. There should be more of them!

    Thanks for commenting,
