When New Statesman asked the arty people 'who's ripe for eviction?', Amanda Craig, novelist, mentions that she would like to evict the entire Booker 2005 judges panel to a seaside resort where they would be forced to read John Banville for a fortnight.

About me
- I'm Echo/Lavanya
- From Chennai, India
- So, we are curious now? My folks named me Lavanya, and it does have a meaning. I named myself Echo, for this blog. And that has a meaning too. Therefore, I have more than one name; I can walk; I can talk; I can read; I can even write; I can count - 9 'I's already and that is absolutely disgusting; I can also lie about numbers. Do you need to hear more?
