The Booker Prize · 2026
Six books. One winner. Read the shortlist before the winner is named.
6 books, 2,096 pages, and one of them takes it. That is 50 pages a day, every day, until the ceremony. Longlisted does the arithmetic you keep doing in your head — and tells you how many pages you need to turn today.

Your local bookshop first — a book in your hand beats one in transit, and we earn nothing when you buy that way. Then Bookshop.org, which sells online and passes a share of its profits to independent shops. Then Amazon, the only one of the two stocking three of these six. We earn a commission on both of those links; neither is charity. Same book either way.
