Pulitzer reading project update

Twenty-seven down. Everything from 1947 to the present is fifty-five books (there were five years when there was no award), so I am halfway! That doesn't include the novels before 1947. Why the arbitrary year 1947? Because I read All the King's Men (and loved it). Once I get all these read I will consider going before 1947 - we'll see.

I buy the books, fifty dollars worth at a time, from a online used-book store. By purchasing firfty dollars worth I get free shipping. A few of the books I have gotten from the library, but I really love having my own copy. The used books are cheap, just a few dollars, and well worth it.

Once the reading spree is over I'll compile a list of lists, listing the best and the worst, in my humble opinion.
