He is on the list, you know. jh Send a noteboard - 26/09/2009 09:46:12 PM
Doris Lessing
William Golding
Gabriel García Márquez
John Steinbeck
Ernest Hemingway
Pär Lagerkvist
Selma Lagerlöf
Rudyard Kipling
Henryk Sienkiewicz


So, got about 100 of them left.


Good to see that at least one Southerner received the Nobel Prize for Literature, to go with another one (Carter) for the Peace Prize.


But maybe not for that reason. ;)

So, I have a list of authors here. It's a bit like Pokémon... Gotta catch them all. jh - 26/09/2009 08:17:06 PM 2490 Views
Myself, so far... jh - 26/09/2009 08:22:52 PM 1210 Views

Don't listen to Larry Camilla - 28/09/2009 10:02:33 AM 1203 Views
Mann is okay, but... Larry - 30/09/2009 02:21:50 AM 1178 Views

Oh. jh - 26/09/2009 09:01:31 PM 1351 Views
Yes, even people with virtually no education have usually heard of Churchill and/or Kipling. *NM* Tom - 26/09/2009 09:37:59 PM 542 Views
I do! AND I have an education! *NM* Fantasy - 27/09/2009 03:56:36 AM 662 Views
Oh, yes! Fantasy - 27/09/2009 03:56:09 AM 1243 Views
I've read 36 of those Larry - 26/09/2009 09:04:18 PM 1246 Views
Well, if Churchill can get it... Legolas - 26/09/2009 09:39:04 PM 1153 Views
Nah.... jh - 26/09/2009 09:52:25 PM 1250 Views
Two years later, the total is up to 48 Larry - 10/10/2011 05:18:36 AM 1226 Views
Okay, I've read a few of these people. (EDITED to specify what works) Tom - 26/09/2009 09:36:31 PM 1310 Views
Gee, I wonder what the theme is... Legolas - 26/09/2009 09:37:38 PM 1335 Views
It's not so hard to figure that out... jh - 26/09/2009 09:44:55 PM 1260 Views
Why is that? Because the prize is utterly meaningless? Tom - 26/09/2009 09:58:39 PM 1312 Views
Of course it is meaningless, all prizes are. jh - 26/09/2009 10:08:36 PM 1360 Views
Oh...but those are the "Some People" that I look down my elitist nose at. Tom - 26/09/2009 10:18:01 PM 1221 Views
Read these: Stephen - 26/09/2009 09:43:26 PM 1181 Views
Well. jh - 26/09/2009 09:51:11 PM 1220 Views
Yes. Stephen - 26/09/2009 11:03:01 PM 1261 Views
Let's see. Rebekah - 26/09/2009 09:58:12 PM 1317 Views
Of all the Russian authors to receive the prize, Solzhenitsyn is the worst stylistically Tom - 26/09/2009 10:03:11 PM 1138 Views
I've been meaning to read Pasternak for such a long time. Rebekah - 26/09/2009 10:06:28 PM 1276 Views
Don't put it on a list at amazon. Put it in the cart, then click on "purchase". Tom - 26/09/2009 10:23:33 PM 1181 Views
I don't buy books online myself. If I did people would never know what to get me. Rebekah - 26/09/2009 10:26:01 PM 1265 Views
And yet Pasternak isn't on your list. Tom - 28/09/2009 05:28:42 AM 1383 Views
See, I can't remember if I read Pasternak... jh - 26/09/2009 10:11:14 PM 1192 Views
It's one of my favorite books of all time. Tom - 26/09/2009 10:21:37 PM 1237 Views
I was just gonna ask about that. Legolas - 26/09/2009 10:23:44 PM 1323 Views
The movie destroyed the entire idea of the book. Tom - 27/09/2009 03:00:54 AM 1130 Views
There's an ITV film of the book with Keira Knightley. It looks utterly appalling. *NM* Rebekah - 26/09/2009 10:25:12 PM 552 Views
For what it's worth, the recent Russian miniseries wasn't fantastic. Tom - 27/09/2009 03:02:25 AM 1140 Views
I'll do it if I can have the rest of my life to accomplish it. nossy - 26/09/2009 10:43:53 PM 1204 Views
Only 10 of them. Burr - 26/09/2009 11:53:47 PM 1285 Views
From my list, Hesse's Siddhartha is my foremost recommendation. *NM* Burr - 26/09/2009 11:55:03 PM 643 Views
Only these ones have I already read, but I'll try the challenge. Could take me a while, atm. IndigoAjah - 27/09/2009 02:48:10 AM 1124 Views
What'd you think of Transcendence of the Ego? *NM* Dan - 27/09/2009 05:12:35 AM 1246 Views
Hey, Dan, long time no see IndigoAjah - 27/09/2009 10:41:02 AM 1368 Views
Just bought a Marquez book *NM* IndigoAjah - 01/10/2009 07:16:22 PM 521 Views
Not very many. Spriteling - 27/09/2009 08:36:14 AM 1378 Views
It would take me a long time to finish this list. Fred Gaidin - 27/09/2009 03:50:02 PM 1305 Views

I worked out that the best way to make use of this thread is to remove the names I have read... jh - 02/10/2009 08:43:57 PM 1386 Views
A great deal of those... after a fashion DomA - 08/10/2011 06:30:00 PM 1314 Views
