Yet another unknown French guy is given the Nobel Prize in literature. The Nobel is becoming more pathetic and irrelevant by the minute. Who are all these nameless, reader less folks who have been honored with the prize in the recent years?
Pity Nobel

Was he unknown to you, too? If so there’s a problem. I don’t know of anyone who buys and reads more books than you.

Exactly! All I do is read and look for new authors to read, and I’ve never as much as heard this guy’s name. In the meanwhile, there are crowds of really amazing, super famous writers who are not given Nobels.

Well, that makes me feel much better about not knowing this author.
Could you name a few authors who deserve the Nobel, in your opinion? I’d love to know this.
