Introduction

Hello -

I'm Sharon, owner of the blog Ex Libris. I love the idea of reading all the Nobel laureates in literature and am very excited about having a structured way in which to accomplish this. (I'm also glad it is undated, as it will take me a very long time to complete it!) Following are the Nobel laureates I've read to date:

• 2003 - J. M. Coetzee
• Elizabeth Costello
• 1972 - Heinrich Boll
• Billiards at Half-past Nine
  
• 1949 - William Faulkner
• As I Lay Dying
• 1948 - T. S. Eliot
• Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

In 2008, I am planning to read the following Nobel laureates:

• 1993 - Toni Morrison
• Beloved
• 1991 - Nadine Gordimer
• A Sport of Nature
• 1976 - Saul Bellow
• The Adventures of Augie March
• 1962 - John Steinbeck
• East of Eden
• 1958 - Boris Pasternak
• Dr. Zhivago
• 1955 - Halld'or Laxness
• Independent People
• 1954 - Ernest Hemingway
• The Sun Also Rises

I'm looking forward to reading and sharing my thoughts with you on these authors and their works.
