Book Awards Reading Challenge

We're halfway through already?! Oh my goodness! This has been so much fun, I'm reading some wonderful books.

So far, I've read 7 of 12 (yea, I'm on track!)

1. Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison - National Book Award 1953 (completed 7/9/2007 - review)
2. The Optimist's Daughter, by Eudora Welty - Pulitzer 1973 (completed 8/10/2007 - review)
3. The Road, by Cormac McCarthy - Pulitzer 2007 (completed 9/2/2007 - review)
4. East of Eden, by John Steinbeck - Nobel Prize author, 1962 (completed 10/6/2007 - review)
5. Interpreter of Maladies, by Jhumpa Lahiri - Pulitzer 2000 (completed 10/11/2007 - review)
6. The Tenderness of Wolves, by Stef Penney - Costa/Whitbread 2006 (completed 11/9/2007 - review)
7. The Giver, by Lois Lowry - Newbery 1994 (completed 12/15/2007 - review)

I enjoyed all of these, but I rated Interpreter of Maladies as one of my top 5 books for 2007. So far it's my favorite of this challenge. Still to come:

1. March, by Geraldine Brooks - Pulitzer 2006
2. The Sea, The Sea, by Iris Murdoch - Booker 1978
3. The Bone People, by Keri Hulme - Booker 1985
4. The Gathering, by Anne Enright - Booker 2007
5. TBD - I'm thinking I'll read the 2008 Pulitzer winner, as long as it's announced before the challenge ends!
