Prize Week Mania Grips Vroman's!

This week marks one of the busiest weeks of the literary schedule as the winner of the Booker Prize and the nominees for the National Book Award are announced. As I've said before, I'm pulling for Aravind Adiga's excellent The White Tiger to win the Booker, while I'm hoping to see a few familiar names on the National Book Award list (Benioff? Le?). Not everyone is as eagerly awaiting the announcements as I,though. Lee Rourke, for one, isn't too excited about any of this year's Booker Shortlisters.
