As a followup of some of my previous diaries, I cannot resist announcing the following award:
A Pulitzer prize for non-fiction for one of my favorite books of all times, one I have recommended tirelessly (and tiresomely, I suppose) "The swerve" by Stephen Greenblatt
And, something I picked up from the BBC about J.R.R. Tolkien and the lack of a Nobel prize
Below the fold, please
