Nobel Prize Laureates in Literature

Add to my lists | Print this list

A list of Nobel Prize laureates in Literature, going backwards from 2008 to 1901. I made the list so I can keep track of progress towards my goal of reading one book by every Nobel Prize in Literature winner. So, no, I haven’t met the people marked; I’ve just read at least one book written by them. Until I can figure out a better system for keeping track, that will have to do.

Un-updatable? — 2 years ago

What is with this website? When the next Nobel Prize is announced we are no longer able to add anything to any of the “people” lists?

I’m confused.

pictures! — 5 years ago

I don’t know where all the faces came from, but that’s pretty nifty!

Now I have at least an idea of what these people I’ve “met” look like.

Better list — 5 years ago

because it doesn’t rely on certain titles! Thanks!

Plus, there’s the maniacal giggles I got from my spurious claims to have met Yeats, Faulkner, Hemingway . . . I’m quite the time traveler. Hee hee.

Like the list compiler I have not met any of these people, but rather read something by them. Great idea for a list!
