I'm on a book-buying ban at the mo, otherwise I'd be tempted! I haven't read the book, but the film of Battle Royale is excellent, albeit very disturbing. Worth a look if you haven't seen it.

Just finished Tempest-Tossed: The Spirit of Isabella Beecher Hooker (a biography of one of Harriet Beecher Stowe's sisters). Isabella is far more interesting than either of the women in the paying Guest.

Both were shortlisted for the National Book Award and neither won.
