As for Smith and King, I go with Mr. King, as well. He deserves more credit for his intelligence, skill, and talent than most people give him. It's nice to see he's finally being celebrated. Anyone in doubt of his writing and storytelling abilities would do well to read (among others) Lisey's Story, The Man in the Black Suit, The Reach, The Dead Zone, and Bag of Bones.

16. How do you feel about sex? How important is it to you? Sure, its something to express how much you love someone but its not the dominant part of a relationship for me. I made a mistake and gave my virginity away before realizing this...

This study does constitute pretty good evidence in favor of a population expansion instead of cultural transmission, but it hasn't settled the matter. Dienekes talks about an 8-fold reduction in U frequency, but there's a similar problem with the farmer mtdna. Their main haplogroup, N1a, has suffered a 25-fold reduction. And today the rate of H in Europe is 50%, while the study found it at only 16% in the farmers, so that's another big change, a 3-fold increase.

@BRAKiasaurus @Marybethking I'm on 'Fates and Furies' right now. It's pretty good, but not knocking it out of the park for me yet. 'The Incarnations' was incredible.

Yes, this won’t win any awards but for the infant set it is perfect. Touch Santa’s beard, look in the shiny ornaments, and more! Noodle loves to repeat all the adjectives, so after we read we look for things around the house with those same qualities.

April: The 4 Bridges Arts Festival is the city’s largest fine art-centric event with more than 50,000 square feet of pavilion space. For almost twenty years, the show has brought world-class artwork in an array of mediums to Chattanooga. A total of $15,000 in award money is given out, and attendees are welcome to purchase their favorite works. There is, of course, plenty of live music, food, and adult beverages.

Franzen's novel seems to be getting pretty mixed reviews, and (again, a way in which our tastes diverged, I did not care for his last novel).

Thanks to everyone who's posted so far, and I look forward to seeing more responses. It's really cool to get to 'meet' the people I've been hanging out with.

4. How do you regard beliefs that differ from your? Are you tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent? I'll listen to what they have to say about it and support them in what they believe in. Unless its Scientology, because then you get a smack in the forehead...
1393
4. What language/s do you speak, and with how much fluency? I speak English very fluently and with a wide vocabulary. I speak VERY minimal Spanish, and know phrases of several other languages. I know the sentence structure of Japanese to a lesser extent, but not enough phrases to consider it even basic knowledge.

But there may well be a surprise or two in there. Agree with Ed that "Our Souls at Night" might get a nod, but I would be shocked by "Watchman".

I barely made it through WELCOME TO BRAGGSVILLE. Ugh. Frankly, it wore me out, reading the tome. I gave up completely on THE SELLOUT, even before the end of the 29-page prologue. Both were way too cumbersome. My favorite so far, for the Pulitzer? THE TURNER HOUSE. The Clegg and Johnson books were just "OK" for me, but I can't believe we'll have a repeat winner with Johnson this year. Still waiting for a book to "wow" me.

As you can see, it missed some pretty big books! Now, here are the books that won the Pulitzer (from 1982 onward) that were not on the NBCC finalist list:

The Chattanoogan food and beverage scene has exploded in recent years. While it may lack the same breadth of much larger cities (the downtown core stretches for only about 16 blocks), the restaurants and bars in that tiny space are crushing it. Urban Stack Burger Lounge offers the city’s best “killer burgers and manly drinks” in the vintage-cool, 150-year-old Southern Railway Baggage Building. The outside patio is a chill spot to sip an Old Fashioned and enjoy a Big Mike burger with two all-beef patties and three buns.

Dryers are fairly simple machines, in that their basic function is limited to heating and tumbling. Still, with the increasingly complex electrical nature of modern appliances, they can be tricky to service, and we’re here to help. We can handle heating problems, damaged / misaligned drive belts, electrical issues, or anything else.

In any case, yes "Fates and Furies" would also be worth reading. And I might be able to do double duty on that one, as I got the audiobook from the library in addition to owning a signed copy.

I have enjoyed reading all the comments here but want to toss my vote to A Little Life. Also, I am very disappointed that A Reunion of Ghosts by Judith Claire Mitchell was overlooked. As we look to next year I would hope that something as simple as Dawn of Wonder or The Life We Bury, both written by Debut Novelists, will get serious attention. Respectfully...

@proseimprint Oh, very nice. This is a report I read once in a google book (published by university press or another)...and while I completely disagree with their assessment of "Rabbit, Run", the title of which they didn't even record accurately, I think Lee probably did deserve the award.

@AlexKerner I'm very curious about A little life, people seem to love or hate that novel. Bill Clegg's first novel is nominated too, Portrait of an addict as a young men is published in Spain (i remember some papers interviewing him a year and a half before it was published here, i remember thinking who is this guy to get such attention from the media)

Good to meet you, Mike. *Checks another name off the list* At this rate, I'll have the whole site in by next month! This is really cool, and I'm glad everyone is putting forth the effort.

Which is all to say, in the coming days, one suspects quite a dialogue is going to be had. And given the current socio-political climate in this nation, perhaps Go Set a Watchman might well provide something in the way of a catalyst. I suppose there's something to be said for synchronicity.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom you consider part of your family? What are your relationships with them? My friends are family. There is no distinction there.
1427
6. What are your interests or hobbies? How do you spend your free time? Books, electronics, studying things that most people can’t understand and using them to fashion new ideas for cool items I can’t afford to make but would be able to sell for millions if I could prove they worked.

I'll tell you this: having met Atticus Lish--a man who was unaware of who Jonathan Franzen was--he is one person whose opinion I will trust. I'm not sure you could buy an insincere quote from him if you tried. (I wish I knew who among this group has read his novel, actually. I think mrbenchly had. Ed started it, but the size of the font was off-putting, as I recall, so I think he put it down.)

The author concludes: “commercial GE crops have made no inroads so far into raising the intrinsic or potential yield of any crop. By contrast, traditional breeding has been spectacularly successful in this regard; it can be solely credited with the intrinsic yield increases in the United States and other parts of the world that characterized the agriculture of the twentieth century.”59

@BRAKiasaurus Hi, I would in normal circumstances be happy to past it on or swap it, but I live in Norway in Scandinavia, so I guess the postage is a big cost, however I know Powells in Portland have had a few, maybe if you contact them you could arrange a swap or through my experience with them, they may just give you one. Hope it's some help.

@JohnZ I thought about you when I posted the URL, knowing you had recently finished the entire run. I've ready every Pulitzer from Confederacy of Dunces (1980), and then about 1/3 of the books before 1980, but not reading in any order, just whatever strikes me. I intende to read them all, though Cheever's Collected Stories and Mailer's Executioner's Song will undoubtedly be last, given how long they are!
