Week 18: a Pulitzer-prize winning book
April 30 - May 5, 2015

Authors can write outstanding stories or inconvenient ones. Sometimes because of this, the books are banned or receive awards, depending on the theme and country.
Pulitzer was a man who wanted to reward texts fulfilling "standards of excellence".

"More than 2,400 entries are submitted each year in the Pulitzer Prize competitions, and only 21 awards are normally made" (each for one of the 21 categories). Maybe all of them are not the best books ever, but you'll read one which won against lots of other books submitted for a reason or another. More about the prize here:


How to Create a Topic:
1. Create a topic in the appropriate folder using your book's author and title (Title by Author). Link your book with the "This topic is about" feature.

2. In the body of your post, comment about why you chose this book. Have you read it before? What are your expectations?

3. Feel free to use the thread as a way to update the group on your progress. Also, when you are finished reading, add a small review and your thoughts about the week's challenge.

4. Comment on everyone else's posts as well! Participation and group involvement will make this challenge so much fun!

**If you chose the same book as another group member for the same week, do not create a duplicate thread.**

The 2015 winners were posted a few days ago if anyone is still in need of a book!

Now I'm questioning whether I should read All the Light We Cannot See instead of my current pick since it's been on my list.

Thanks Laura :)
There are lots of praises for this book, which is a nice thing with this difficult subject.
