3M's Goals for 2009

I hope to read at least six Orange winners in 2009, starting with Fugitive Pieces for Orange January. I might try to read Larry's Party in January as well. Ideally I'd read 3 winners in January and 3 for Orange July. These are the leading contenders for '09:

• 2009 winner
• 2008 The Road Home, by Rose Tremain
• 2006 On Beauty, by Zadie Smith
• 2005 We Need to Talk About Kevin, by Lionel Shriver
• 2004 Small Island, by Andrea Levy
• 2003 Property, by Valerie Martin
• 2002 Bel Canto, by Ann Patchett
• 2001 The Idea of Perfection, by Kate Grenville
• 2000 When I Lived in Modern Times, by Linda Grant
• 1998 Larry’s Party, by Carol Shields
• 1997 Fugitive Pieces, by Anne Michaels
