Is anyone reading the Booker nominees this year? What's your favourite, and what do you think will win?

For the first year I’ve not kept up with it! Recommendations of anything good please!

Who will win? Whoever ticks the right boxes, I suppose. I haven't looked at the list so have no idea which books have been nominated. I'm afraid I no longer trust the literary establishment. I no longer believe them when they tell me X or Y is a masterpiece. Too often, what they really mean is this work ticks the largest number of boxes, or this author holds the 'correct' liberal-left views.

I stick to the classics (in spite of the left's attacks on the canon).
