Angus - Intro and Progress

Hello, I'm Angus. Before I start contributing, I'd like to list down the Pulitzer winners that I've read so far. A little trivia: the first novel that I ever read is a Pulitzer winner, and that is Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Perhaps my adoration for that novel is the reason I want to read all these books and to blog about them. I also read other books aside from these winners, and if you want to find out more about them, you can visit my blog, Book Rhapsody.

Anyway, here they are (27 and counting):

  • The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
  • The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder
  • The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
  • Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
  • The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
  • All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren
  • The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
  • To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  • Stories of John Cheever by John Cheever
  • The Hours by Michael Cunningham
  • The Color Purple by Alice Walker
  • Ironweed by William Kennedy
  • Beloved by Toni Morrison
  • The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love by Oscar Hijuelos
  • A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley
  • A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain by Robert Olen Butler
  • The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
  • Independence Day by Richard Ford
  • Martin Dressler: The Tale of an American Dreamer by Steven Millhauser
  • Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
  • The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz
  • Empire Falls by Richard Russo
  • The Known World by Edward P. Jones
  • Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
  • Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
  • The Road by Cormac McCarthy
  • A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
Sorry I didn't bother to put the books in order. I just copied them from my Goodreads library. Anyway, I'll be cross-posting my previous and upcoming write-ups here. I said write-ups because I don't do the "standard" review. I even do these write-ups at least six months after finishing the book. It's quite weird, I know, but whatever works works, right?
