The Nobel Prize Winners in Literature
In 2010, I took a Nobel Literature class and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Although it was a lot of work, I read several books that probably
normally would never have considered
reading including Jean Paul Sartre's Nausea, Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude,and Kenzaburo Oe's The Silent Cry.
After reading these books, it made me want to read more selections from
the literature prize list. Since then, I've read books by one or two authors
from the list each year. Join me in reading the authors who won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
