List: Booker Prize Winners

List Information:
As I find them, I'll be reviewing Booker Prize Winners whether I would recommend them or not.

GENERAL BOOKER LINKS:
    -Booker McConell Prize Pages (Bradley C. Shoop University of Tennessee--Chattanooga)
    -Shortlisting opinion: Over the years the Booker's list itself had come under criticism and now Arundhati Roy joins a long list of embattled winners (Nilanjana Roy, Business Standard)
    -The Booker Prize (middlemiss.org)
    -ESSAY : Making book on the Booker : Snide critics, betting mania, broadcasts of unphotogenic writers hacking away at duck -- the Booker Prize ceremony may not be the Oscars, but it's as British as all get-out. (SYLVIA BROWNRIGG, Salon)
