For Pete's sake! I stopped at 1948--didn't notice the tag to go back. Add as well:
The Age of Innocence (Edith Wharton)-Loved it
Gone With the Wind (Margaret Mitchell)--That won a Pulitzer?! Wonderful pulpy book!

I’ve read only eight: Gone with the Wind, All the Light We Cannot See, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath, Lonesome Dove, The Hours, The Road, and Olive Kitteridge. I really liked them all, except I can’t remember much about The Hours.

I know this is a thread for fiction, but I’ve also read Angela’s Ashes, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 1997. Highly recommend.
Here’s the link for biographies.

Doc, I didn’t mean to derail the thread away from fiction. : )

No, be my guest. :heheh:
Thanks for the link. Angela's Ashes is a book I've postponed reading, I don't know why. I think I will like it based on all the reviews.

I thought The Hours was fantastic. I'm biased, though, because I like Virginia Woolf and her novel, Mrs. Dalloway. I like how The Hours is an emotional and existential echo of the other book.

From the biographies I've read A Beautiful Mind and Mozart: A Life. Both were finalists.
