Not the booker prize

Hey, it's me, Mr. Guard. We have no money left for a committee so let's just dump the whole thing on the internet! Let's be extra lazy and even ask for reviews.

Next up: let's just deliver empty pages and pens to our readers, let them write their own paper.

they're shit.

>over 100 books

there cant possibly be that many books that deserve nomination. theres probably 30, maybe less. This is just following a slew of "diversity" and "my fave wasnt nominated" innanet articles about the manbooker which is almost as bad, except they have the balls to restrain their long list.

Why is Moore's Jerusalem on a public vote list when it's not been published yet?
Why did I even click that?

The Guardian is a stalwart defence against common sense. I appreciate its role in incubating young lefties.

Literay prizes are useful as lists of things maybe worth a gander. Meaningless in the definite; useful as a guide.

A bunch of people in the comments claim to have advance review copies.

National Book Award seems like the only consistent prize.

You either charge for a subscription and close access and then maybe have expensive online shit, or you have it open and use advertising revenue to support real journalism (which they do a fair bit of tbf).

They're disappointing me a bit recently tho.

I know all of you are newfags because not a single one of you suggested to hi-jack the system and nominate a literal meme. Fucking plebs. Get off my board.

I'd love if that happened, but there are no meme books on the list.

Redpill me on China Miéville. Is he YA tier socialist crap? Or readeable?
