The National Book Foundation has a new blog up to celebrate it’s 60th anniversary. The Blog features 77 fiction novels that have won their National Book Award. Notice something strange?
“The National Book Foundation, celebrating its 60th anniversary, is running a series celebrating the 77 novels that have won its fiction award — or rather, awards. Because obviously somebody got fancy in there if they ended up with 17 more winning books than there have been years.”
The blog features the book jacket covers, which is interesting in itself. But click on one of the covers to read more about that book. Very interesting.
“As I write this, I have just finished reading all 77 of the National Book Award Fiction Winners.”
Pretty cool, I wonder if I could do it? In looking at the covers, I have read(reading) three of the books. I loved Spartina, The World According to Garp, and I am reading Peter Matthiessen on my Kindle.
How about you?
