Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about award winning books…

Do you feel compelled to read prize-winning (Giller/Booker/Pulitzer etc) books? Why, or why not? Is there, perhaps, one particular award that you favour? (question courtesy of MizB)

This is a no brain-er for me.  The answer is no, absolutely no I am not compelled or ever desire to read prize-winning books.  Here is why: I don’t agree with the judges.  I have never really been impressed by books that have awards.  The judges most of the time enjoy books that I don’t!  So I would rather go and see what my friends say on good reads then look for books with awards!
