Scott's List

Thursday, June 14, 2007 by Scottula

Hi! I'm Scott. This is my list. The goal was to vary it as much as possible by picking 12 different awards. Another selection tool was picking things I already have on my shelf waiting to be read, and that covers 9 of these.


  1. Murphy's Law / Rhys Bowen (Agatha Award)

  2. American Gods / Neil Gaiman (this won every award ever, but I'm having it count as the Bram Stoker Award)

  3. Eats, Shoots and Leaves / Lynne Truss (British Book Award)

  4. Amsterdam / Ian McEwan (Booker Prize)

  5. Dune / Frank Herbert (Hugo Award)

  6. Speaker for the Dead / Orson Scott Card (Nebula Award)

  7. The Shipping News / Annie Proulx (National Book Award)

  8. My Name Is Red / Orhan Pamuk (IMPAC Dublin Award)

  9. The Other Wind / Ursula K. LeGuin (World Fantasy Award)

  10. On Beauty / Zadie Smith (Orange Prize)

  11. Air / Geoff Ryman (Arthur C. Clarke Award)

  12. The Tale of Desperaux / Kate DiCamillo (Newbery Medal)

    Wow--12 different awards and 9 books already on the shelf! You must have quite the collection at home. I had several on my shelf also, but not from too many of the different awards. Best wishes.

    Great list!

    American Gods and The Other Wind are among my all-time favourites. I hope you like them!

    I've been meaning to read On Beauty for years now. I look forward to your review.
