As I read its co-nominee, 
The Room, 
The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson was named the 
2010 Man Booker Prize for Fiction winner last week in London.  In searching for more information about the book, I discovered this 
NYT excerpt of Chapter 1.  This morning I read through the opening paragraphs, and my favorite line thus far:  "She shattered his calm."
Sometimes it only takes one line to get added to the book list.  Congrats Mr. Jacobson.
