I'll get around to reading more Booker Awards as I go too.<br /><br />Alex - Indeed;) <br /><br />Jane/Lance - Personal recommendations are always the best for sure, although I like that you mentioned the Orange Award, it's got some really neat reads on that list. <br /><br />Hektor - True, hard to beat Nobel. I agree that way too much politicking goes into decisions on both the Nobel and Pulitzer, but I suppose anything with more than 3 people involved will have that outcome (shrug) :)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793077012143289985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-21583919512111315112011-07-20T11:22:40.318-07:002011-07-20T11:22:40.318-07:00The Nobel lists usually catch my attention, as do ...The Nobel lists usually catch my attention, as do the Booker lists, as many have mentioned. I read a good number of the Pulitzer winners, though most of those have already received considerable buzz by the time the list comes out.<br /><br />I'm mixed on the concepts/executions/politicking of most of these awards, but I do use them to get recommendations, so I suppose I find value in them.Hektor Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908146663251226473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-11805994106374789732011-07-20T09:45:56.304-07:002011-07-20T09:45:56.304-07:00Hello Mark:

The Judging panel recognizes writers who push boundaries, rather than writers who write the same old thing but do it better than anyone else. And, of course, the writing is exemplary.VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-82456463327223529552011-07-20T09:19:32.351-07:002011-07-20T09:19:32.351-07:00Hmm, I've never perused any prize lists before...Hmm, I've never perused any prize lists before, but that's a great way to find new reading material!
