Started in 2007 by the book blogger behind Guiltless Reading, this challenge is a voluntary, collaborative effort that aims to bring attention to Nobel Prize Laureates and their body of work. This blog proudly follows in the tradition of other literature blogs (or litblogs) - such as the The Complete Booker, the Pulitzer Project, and the Orange Prize Project, among others - that focus on significant or international literary awards.

2000 - Gao Xingjian1998 - José Saramago
1995 - Seamus Heaney

For the 2016 Read the Nobels Challenge, I'm going with level Nobel dabbler: 1 to 3 books, as we're already in the 4th month of 2016 and I don't want to go crazy. lol
I've got one book covered in April, as I'm reading Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth by Naguib Mahfouz for the Where in the World will your Nobel take you? challenge.
Some other choices I'll consider for books 2 and 3:
Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook
Thomas Mann, Buddenbrooks
Sigrid Undset, Kristin Lavransdatter
