Apparently they picked a hardcover and a paperback for fiction 1981-1983. weird.

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 00:29 (seventeen years ago)

Weird. I've never looked at this list before. There is not a single title that I disliked. How often does that happen?

Mr. Goodman, Tuesday, 12 February 2008 00:33 (seventeen years ago)

Three Junes is pretty bad. but yeah, sort of better stuff than the Pulitzers for fiction? Maybe?
