Why I’ve Been Buying Only Booker Books
What is wrong with me? Ever since I discovered the Booker Prize from *Flesh* by David Szalay to *Midnight’s Children* by Salman Rushdie. I’ve been buying every Booker book I can get my hands on, especially if they’re discounted, second-hand, or new.
I’ve also been buying books by Nobel Prize winners like László Krasznahorkai, Han Kang, and Orhan Pamuk.
My logic is this: there are so many books out there and so little time left on earth, and I’m never sure which ones are actually good or worth my time. So why not just read award-winning books? Is there anything so wrong with that?
I love beautiful prose, whether it’s long-winded and expansive like Salman Rushdie’s, or experimental like László Krasznahorkai’s or Daniel Kraus’s. I know there are many other worthy books out there, but am I really on the wrong track here?
