Got Death With Interruptions recently and realized the author José Saramago was a Nobel Laureate in literature, which in turn got me reading about said prize and more particularly criticisms and controversies thereof. Looking down the list of laureates I recognize some, and don't recognize a lot more.

Thinking about the Nobel in literature got me thinking about others, like the Hugo, the Pulitzer, and of course the R.L. Stine creative writing award, which in turn leads to the question- What literary awards, if any, do you trust?

If I had to pick one, the Nobel. I don't care much about awards.
