It Won, It Won!

the book I said I would like to read, Wolf Hall, has won the Booker Prize, so that will be on my buy list when I return to the UK, but I guess I will need to up my baggage allowance as it is a whopping 650 pages, Hilary Mantel wrote the book detailing the life of Henry V111 as seen through the eyes of Thomas Cromwell, I guess we can expect a part two as the book finishes with the execution of Thomas More in 1535, as an aside it cost the bookmakers a fortune, William Hill, which cut its odds from 12-1 to 2-1, said it had 'never seen a betting pattern like it', a spokesman said the firm now stands to lose a six-figure sum, 'This is our biggest-ever loss,' he added, OK everybody go 'ah' for the poor bookmakers!
