My To Read List: All Nobel Prizes in Literature

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Oxana Gutu

The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded 104 times to 108 Nobel Laureates between 1901 and 2011. http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/. By the way, Winston Churchill won his Nobel prize in Literature, not Peace).

I am kind of lagging behind. And got distracted by the fuss around “50 Shades of Grey” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18618648. And after 50 pages of “50 shades …” I can attest that the distraction was not worth it. Sorry, E.L. James.

So, back to my list. Shall I go for Pamuk? “My Name is Red” sounds good. Amazon, please!

I started trying to do this last year! I really recommend J.M. Coetzee. He’s a fantastic writer from South Africa who delves in philosophy—exploring both the ethics of eating animals and also things like the relationship between the mind/body. And Llosa/Marquéz are great – South American authors are just incredible.
