Battle of the Prizes – American (2012 Reading Challenge)

December7

Gilion at Rose City Reader loves to read prize winners, so for the fourth year, she’s hosting The Battle of the Prizes. I took part in these challenges in 2010 and read some really good books, so I’m in again.

Battle of the prizes American 175The American version requires me to read one book that won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Literature; a book that won the National, and another that has won the Pulitzer. That’s a total of three books.

There is an option for those of us who have already read all six of the double-dippers, or otherwise do not want to read one of those six, to pick two Pulitzer winners and two National winners for a total of four books. Since I’ve read half the double dipper list and none of the others appeals to me at the moment, I’m choosing the option on this challenge.

Pulitzer Prize winners
(both of these are already on my reading list for other challenges):

The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilde
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck

National Book Award winners (both new to my list):

The Echo Maker by Richard Powers
Three Junes by Julia Glass

    Thanks for signing up! I have no idea why Mr. Linky was being so temperamental. I took it out of the challenge post and will add participant links myself.

    I’ll go and do that now with your post. You are officially in!
