Booker 2012 Shortlist

Deborah Levy, SWIMMING HOME
Hilary Mantel, BRING UP THE BODIES
Alison Moore, THE LIGHTHOUSE
Will Self, UMBRELLA
Tan Twan Eng, THE GARDEN OF EVENING MISTS
Jeet Thayil, NARCOPOLIS
No one is surprised Mantel is on this list; maybe some of you are surprised Self is. But the only one I've read is NARCOPOLIS, which I liked and kind of fell below radar earlier this year. Who do you favor? (If it helps, last year's winner was THE SENSE OF AN ENDING.)
