Re: JCO: Re: Nobel for literature to be awarded Thursday, 10/13/2005

I really wouldn�t take too much notice of rumours about who will win the
prize, even from reputable newspapers. It�s shrouded in so much secrecy
nobody knows. In the past, it�s always been so much of a surprise who the
winner is that �bookies� favourites don�t really factor too much into it. Of
course, that doesn�t mean we can�t all hope the best for JCO!
