Ahem. Man Bites Dog has cracked it for a mention on a couple of fun little lists. First, it's made it onto the Children's Book Council of Australia's "Notable Books for Older Readers" list, so booyah right there. They have to make it for older readers because of all the swearing and having of sex and stuff that's in it, since younger readers don't swear and don't know anything about sex. Second, it's been included as one of the 150 books that are participating in the "150 Years - 150 Books - 150 Words" competition being run by the Age and the State Library of Victoria, which involves people picking one book from the list and writing 150 words to explain why, if all the books in the world were being destroyed, the particular book you've chosen from the list should be the only book saved. So booyah x 2. Or 2(booyah) for the more algebraically inclined.
