Bookered Out
  BOOKERED OUT
BOOKER PRIZE 2005

 
 

Could you read 17 books in 21 days? Hundreds of people emailed us to say they could, and we found five enthusiastic people who agreed to read every book on the Booker Prize longlist to decide which six they would shortlist. They also kept video diaries of the challenge.
