So, I finally remembered the sort-of resolution I made earlier this year about changing my reading habits to encompass more "award-winning books." Basically books that lit-crazed people think are good. Whatever. So...which list should I start off with--the pretentious Pulitzers, the geek-fest that is the Hugos and Nebulas, the gruesome Bram Stoker Awards?
No. I thought I'd ease into it with shorter books geared towards kids--the Newbery (or as Yahmdallah calls them, the Dingleberry Awards). I will probably start in chronological order but skip the ones that I've already read as a kid (mostly the ones awarded in the 60s and 70s although there are some in other decades--none of the more recent ones, though). I'm still debating on whether or not to read these with an adult sensibility or with a kid-centric audience in mind. Maybe both.
