KEY POINTS:
Kiwi writer Lloyd Jones missed out on the coveted Booker Prize- but has landed a spot on a reading list that promises potentially greater commercial success.
British daytime television hosts, husband and wife team Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, selected Jones' novel Mr Pip as one of their top 10 reads of 2008.
A spot in Richard and Judy's Book Club has previously helped novels become Britain's best-sellers.
