    The Pulitzer Project


    The Pulitzer Project
    Ongoing Challenge to Read All the Pulitzer Winners

    Michelle at 3M has created a new group blog called The Pulitzer Project for those readers who want to challenge themselves to read all the Pulitzer Prize Winners. There is no time limit - which makes this one very doable for me!

    I will be tracking my progress here. I’ve included those I’ve read since 2005. I think I may have read some in high school, but since I can’t remember the details of those books I will be re-reading them.

    Read in 2005:

    The Hours, by Michael Cunningham - won in 1999 (unrated; not reviewed)
    The Shipping News, by Annie Proulx - won in 1994 (rated 4/5; not reviewed)
