Im very excited to see the Campbell nominees up and I want to read every one of the twelve books nominated. What is really interesting is that seven of the authors nominated have won the award. Who do you want to win the award and who do you think will win?

There are some great books in that list for sure.  All big names too including, as I've seen posted elsewhere, 4 Canadian authors.  No surprise so many have won the award before.  I've only read Gardens of the Sun so far but there are a few more on my reading list already like The City & the City, Wake and The Windup Girl .

As far as what's going to win I've no earthly idea but if I was to guess I'd say The City or Windup based on what I've heard about them both.  Haven't read enough to pick a favorite.  Gardens is really good but I don't think it's made as big a splash as the others on the list.

Where are you going to start?
