Mea culpa. I voted for a different edition of the John Banville without noticing, it should disappear now.
Do you really think A Suitable Girl will actually finally be published in 2018? I hope that you are correct by fear that you are far more optimistic than the history of this book may warrant :-).

Please look carefully before you add a book to the list ... we have had duplicate entries for some books with different editions, but these have now been fixed. Thanks.
Salt Houses, currently at # 43, was originally published prior to Oct. 1, 2017, and thus is ineligible. Will those who have voted for it kindly delete their votes? And please do check ALL editions of a book prior to adding it to the list, to make sure it is within the publishing date parameters. Thank you.
It baffles me that anyone would want to rig a poll like this one by voting for books that have zero chance of ever being published in the UK, but I am very suspicious of Where the Dead Sit Talking and Waiting for Gordo...
Please remove #89 The Wardrobe Mistress - not eligible as it was published before October 1, 2017.
Thank you for making this list for eligible books for the Booker Prize. Have you considered making a list for possible Pulitzer Prize for Fiction?

Please remove “A Natural” from the list. Ineligible, as it was published prior to October 1, 2017.
