The Children's Book by A S Byatt
Summertime by J M Coetzee
The Quickening Maze by Adam Fould
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
The Glass Room by Simon Mawer
The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters

Of the shortlist, I've only read The Little Stranger. My plan to read the longlist didn't work out - I only got through Me, Cheeta and halfway through The Wilderness, though I'd already read Colm Toibin's Brooklyn and The Little Stranger when they were initially published.
I better get cracking on these, 'cos the Byatt and the Mantel are massive tomes.
