Recs if you like The Beginning of Spring...

For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books, but before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. Please see the pinned comment for the 2001+ companion list link and the winners for each year!

Every book shortlisted for the Booker Prize since it was founded in 1969, under its current title and previous names, the Man Booker Prize and the Booker Prize for Fiction. I want to hear your percentage overlap in the comments!
