I have read "Age of Innocence" and "The Orphan Master's Son" out of the ones you mentioned...and I think I've read about 32 other Pulitzer prize winners for fiction... have loved so many of them ..."The Goldfinch", "All the Light We Cannot See" , "Demon Copperhead" and "The Overstory from the most recent ones.. and realizing that I did love so many of the recent ones inspired me to attempt to read them all... ones from way back that I've recently read and really enjoyed are "Now In November" and "So Big"... also loved "American Pastoral" and I've been a big fan of "Lonesome Dove" for years and years. I should re-read that one.
Lara, that’s amazing how many Pulitzers you’ve read! Good for you. It’s so different from other literary prizes. I do hope they won’t give two books in one year. Another Pulitzer video headed your way Tuesday! 💛
Kelly, having read 37 Pulitzer's, my two cents for places to start would be To Kill a Mockingbird is an obvious one. An old one that could fit in this category would be The Yearling. Maybe Ironweed from 1984, it's not a happy read, but that would get you in the right mindset for many Pulitzers to come, and it is short and easy to understand. I'm glad you mentioned The Stone Diaries, that was well written and interesting, I breezed right through it.!
To Kill a Mockingbird is on the other list, which is why I didn’t include it here. I might need to reread the Yearling and/or Ironweed. The books I chose were all 4 star reads for me, but there are a lot of those on my Pulitzer list. Happy reading! 💛
I haven’t read any of these and that made me curious how many Pulitzers I have read. I checked and saw that I’ve read 7! I was expecting maybe 2. 😂😂😂 My first one was Gone with Wind which I got for my 16th birthday. It’s such a chunky one so I prob wouldn’t recommend it as a starter. I’d probably recommend The Color Purple or To Kill a Mockingbird since most people probably know something about them already and I think the writing is really accessible. The one I’d recommend NOT starting with is The Road - which I didn’t even finish - a big deal for me at the time. My favorite is probably The Goldfinch. Also - it’s a shame I haven’t read The Good Earth ad Pearl S Buck was born in WV and I’ve been to her birth place/museum on a field trip in high school! Loved this video and was very excited to get another video.
Loretta, none of these videos are meant to shame people about how many or few Pulitzers they have read. I didn't include To Kill a Mockingbird in this video since it's on my list of the best, but maybe I should have it both places. I'm sure you aren't alone in DNF'ing The Road. You are not required to read it - I made myself read all of them, but by no means am I asking anyone else to! So glad you enjoyed this.
I read The Overstory by Richard Powers on audio and loved it. I have also enjoyed Josephine Johnson's Now and November as two of my favorite booktuber's recommended it. Listened to Beloved but would not recommend going in on it first. I was mesmerized as I listened to Toni Morrison narrate Beloved. I have read Richard Russo's Mohawk and The Risk Pool published by Vintage Contemporaries I can't remember if I read Empire Falls or not. I really like Richard Russo's writing and hope to re read and of course read his back list at some point! Fun Video as usual. Hope you are well and will see you on the next one! 🥇📚😊
Hi Marcia! I have another Pulitzer video coming out this week and some of the books you mentioned will appear there. I need to reread Empire Falls and then start on more of his other works as well! So many books, so little time. 💛🏆
The Age of Innocence is definitely on my TBR, I loved the house of mirth. I loved The Killer Angels too, it's so balanced without glorifying the south, I'm guessing the other one is Andersonville which I do own but haven't read. I've not heard of a lot of these which is fun.
Hi Aaron! That’s so cool that you have read The Killer Angels. I wouldn’t expect many people outside the U.S. to read it. I need to read The House of Mirth … 💛
I was surprised to find I’ve read 24 of the winners including The Good Earth, Empire Falls and The Stone Diaries all of which I love and would agree are really accessible books. Others might be The Shipping News, Breathing Lessons or March- again, all great books.
Jo, I am so impressed! I would have not thought you would have read so many. Thanks for mentioning some other books that would be good starting points. Kudos to you, Jo! 💛
Hi Kelly, I've not read any of the books you mention here, but have read a couple of other Pulitzer winners - by chance rather than design, I will admit, and one of the more accessible I think is Less by Andrew Sean Greer. It's a very easy read, and fun. Also, a couple of weeks ago, I decided to take part in June on the Range, and finally picked up Lonesome Dove. Going in I knew it had been recommended by every BookTuber ever, and that it had won the Pulitzer Prize, but was still wary because 'I don't do cowboy books.' Well, what a revelation. I'm about 600 pages in and, despite its size, I haven't been able to put it down. What a wonderful banquet of a read.
Charles, thanks so much for your comment! Less is a great book to mention and one of the rare Pulitzers that contains humor. I realized this weekend that when I read Lonesome Dove, I only gave it four stars!?!? How could that be? So now I'm thinking I need to read it again because it looms like a five star book in my head. I'm so glad you are enjoying it. It's a great reading experience, so enjoy!
Thanks for doing this video. I added a few of the books to my TBR. I did a quick look at the list of fiction Pulitzer Prize winners. I only found one, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, that I had read. My reading of Pulitzer Prizes winners is seriously lacking.
Don't be hard on yourself, Stuart! This is not a contest. But there are some great books among the Pulitzers, and I hope you'll find something that sounds interesting to you - it might not be on this list. If you do pick up a Pulitzer to read, please tell me! I love hearing about people's experiences with the Pulitzers. Happy reading!
Thanks for your video, Kelly! A few years ago, I made the fateful decision to blog my way through the Pulitzer Prize-winners chronologically. Like you, I would not recommend this route to others -ha! I have been finishing a Pulitzer a month or so, currently I am on Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner. I have been going fairly slowly through the list, reading lots of other books that interest me in the meantime (not just Pulitzers), as well as some non-winners, and doing a good deal of research from outside sources, especially John Hohenberg's books covering the history of the prizes through his tenure as Prize Administrator (have you come across these?) One day, I would like to make a pilgrimage to Pulitzer Hall at Columbia U and see the famous Statue of Liberty stained glass window. Cheers and thanks for your Pulitzer insights!
Thank you for this delightful comment! I wish you would change your mind about reading them in order, but you do you! Angle of Repose is excellent. I'll have another Pulitzer video up this week - my revised list of favorite Pulitzers. I have not heart about John Hohenberg or his being the Prize Administrator! Are you saying he wrote multiple books about this or just that it covers multiple years? If you have the titles I'd be very curious to look for them. Thank you for sharing your Pulitzer insights!
@@booksimnotreading Admittedly, I am actually glad I am reading them chronologically! It has been fascinating to see the changes in American literary tastes over time, and also the ways the pulitzer prize has changed. But I would definitely not recommend this route to most other readers haha. Re John Hohenberg, he wrote a couple books I would recommend on the history of the prizes, such as the history of various conflicts and scandals within the Pulitzer board or fiction juries, why certain decisions were made, why authors were snubbed etc. For example, the infamous early scandal over Sinclair Lewis being denied the prize, or Nicholas Butler Murray blocking Hemingway from winning the prize and so on. The first book is The Pulitzer Prizes (1974) the other is The Pulitzer Diaries (1997) - both solid resources in my opinion. I hope some of the more recent prize administrators will follow suit and publish histories of all the little known behind-the-scenes details. Another interesting resource is the Chronicle of the Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction (2007) by Heinz Dietrich Fischer and Erika Fischer. And lastly, I occasionally peruse The Pulitzer Prize Novels: A Critical Backward Look (1981) by literary critic W. J. Stuckey - but I wouldn't highly recommend it. If you come across any others do be sure to drop me a line!
Hi Kelly, wonderful video! I had my Libby app opened and requested and requested Foreign Affairs from my library. It sounds right up my alley! The only one of these that I’ve read is The Age of Innocence, which I loved. That ending! 🏆
Hi Kelly, this is a nice treat. I wasn’t expecting to see another Video so soon. I’ve read 3 of the novels you mentioned “The Age of Innocence”, “The Good Earth” and “Foreign Affairs”. Loved the first two, Foreign Affairs was about 3/5 for me. You are right, it’s easy to read and not too long however, I was expecting more from a Pulitzer Winner. I look forward to reading the other titles you mentioned, I have both books on my shelf. Before the year’s over, I really hope to read “Now in November” and “So Big” (so many shiny objects keep getting in the way. ) [A fascinating and easy to read non-fiction book about North Korea is “Nothing to Envy” by Barbara Demick. I could hardly put it down]
Mary, thanks for the recommendation and for mentioning So Big! That’s another really terrific book! I made another video today because I am wondering when I will be able to have any reading updates. Just not going very well! I hope you’ll tell me what you think of Now in November whenever you get to it. But you probably already know that! 💛
Hi Kelly, I think "to Kill a Mocking Bird" could be on that list. I love "Age of Innocence". I think its a perfect novel. Great video, I will be paying a visit to my local library. Go well. 🏆
Hey Kelly, happy weekend and Father’s Day!! Great video, thanks for these recommendations, they look interesting indeed. I recently read “The Age of Innocence” which I enjoyed a lot (I appreciate Wharton’s sardonic commentaries on New York high society of that era). Read “The Good Earth” a long time ago, have thought about re-reading it at some point (I actually saw the movie with Paul Muni and Luise Rainer, from that classic MGM era, before reading the book). The rest I am not familiar with and are intriguing, hope to check them out if I come across them. I read Alison Lurie’s “Familiar Spirits,” a memoir about her friendship with the poet James Merrill (he won the Pulitzer for poetry for “Divine Comedies”) and his partner David Jackson), which was interesting. Hope you are well!! All the best, Joe
Well, no one's ever wished me Happy Father's Day before, Joe, but right back at you! I'm glad you found these recommendations helpful, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them when you do come across them. Happy reading!
Nice list! I had trouble with The Good Earth, which I've read a couple of times. But maybe I was too young then. I find myself plagued with the hope that I could reread books I didn't like and that maybe I'd magically like them now. But then I think of all the books I haven't read yet, an realize my time might be better spent on those. I would have thought All the Light We Cannot See might be on your list, but they can't all be there. Love to see your smiling face!
I thought about it, but I don’t own it and it’s another Pulitzer that isn’t really talking about American life. But you are right - that would be a good book to try in the beginning. I totally know what you mean about thinking it’s finally “the right time” to read something. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. When I read Catcher in the Rye I was too old! 😃💛
@@booksimnotreading Good point about it not being about American life. I'm sure it's a hard balance for the committee some years to find both "best by an American author" and "about American life". And sadly I was also too old when I read Catcher.
I feel like the more current fiction prize winners are questionable. It makes me wonder what the heck the judges are thinking. I do still like the winners for the non-fiction book categories which I know you are not reading. 😊 I'm reading through the prize winners completely by mood
I made the "mistake " of starting at the beginning but I Did love The Age of Innocence. It's one of my favs. As for your list, i own the civil war one and had planned on reading that in April... maybe next April. 😅 And i still love Gone With the Wind no matter who says what. 😂 but it's definitely not a good place to start. And March by G. Brooks...whew! That was hard but so good. I tried Orphan Master's Son, but the s*x content wasnt to my taste so i dnf'd. I know i will not want to read many of the current winners (in the 2000s) so i don't mind dnfing in the beginning if necessary either. I've read a good dozen or so from the PP list when it suited me or buddy reads.
Thanks for sharing, Penny! I always love hearing other people's experiences of reading Pulitzers. I love Gone with the Wind, but I did drop it from five stars to four stars when I read it for the second time. Maybe I will change my mind in the future again. I love the main relationship in that story so much. I have heard people say one day Gone with the Wind will go out of print. I worry about that. It's so tricky to try to separate a time and an artist from their art! Happy reading!
Not even one. I don't read a lot outside of scifi and fantasy and when I do it is usually science. If I could throw a book to you outside of those that you might enjoy it is Daniel "Thunder by Ian Weir, taking you back to 1851 London. Still, not your usual literary taste. But not my usual either.
