Tom in London wrote: The Nobel Prize FOR Literature ? No, sadly, it's not. You would have thought those pesky Swedes would get their Swenglish checked by a native for the literature prize at least. In Swedish, you say "Nobelpriset i litteratur", not "Nobelpriset för litteratur". Hence the error. Then again, find me an English speaker who's 100% on top of their prepositions... My nomination, by the way, would be Matthew Reilly for his in-depth exploration of the human psyche. Although they'll probably give it to some talentless illiterate Swedish loser with nothing to say like Klas Östergren. | | | Felipe Lacerda 巴西 Local time: 06:28 正式会员 (自2011) English英语译成Portuguese葡萄牙语 + ...
Gaiman (boring and overrated as hell) or some poet no one really reads or cares about it. Good for him/her. | |

... before he dies. I read "Devil on the Cross" about a billion years ago, but maybe I'll read "Petals of Blood" this year and there is a new novel from this year and a collection of stories from last year. In reality, though, I think it wil be awarded jointly to Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. I heard they're still pretty upset about being passed over for Bob Dylan. | |

I know this is rich coming from me, but haven't I seen the joke in Michael's Andersson/Ulvaeus thing, or have they written other literature, because "sup-p-per troup-p-per, sup-p-per troup-p-per, sup-p-per troup-p-per" and most of the "Wow-wow-wow-wow-Waterloo" lyrics, as only two examples, certainly don't cut it for me. Music's another thing, but I can see Dylan and a few others as literature candidates too. ... Re-reading, I do see the joke's on me now. C...
