I was delighted to hear that, having been shortlisted for the fourth time, Julian Barnes has been awarded the Man Booker Prize for The Sense of an Ending.  It was described on the shortlist as “A truly wonderful novel that will have the reader immersed in the story from the very first page.” I don’t get a lot of time to read for pleasure, though I do spend an awful lot of time reading – it’s unavoidable, because listed companies’ annual reports get longer every year.
