Sarah and Chris discuss this year's Booker Longlist and their progress with it at this early stage. They also discuss what they've been reading recently and what they've read in the past year fantasy-wise.
PS: Unbelievably, what Sarah was saying was true - in 1977, the chair of judges, Philip Larkin, threatened to jump out of a window if Paul Scott’s Staying On didn’t win the Booker!
