The New Blog

So this year looks set to be a big one. I'm teaching VCE Drama for only the second time (with a HUGE class), and I'm co-ordinating Year 8s. All this is likely to threaten my relaxation time, so I decided to 'schedule' a minimum by making it my NY Resolution to read the 2010 and 2011 Man Booker Prize Shortlists. If all goes really well, I'll also read the Cheltenham Booker Prize Shortlists, which are awarded retrospectively to books written 50 years ago. I figured, to keep me honest, that I'd blog about the books here, like a mini book club (albeit lonelier).
