This is a tough choice, but I think the National Book Award sounds interesting
That is an American one?Quote:

Yes it is, though I was not even thinking about that, I was looking up different awards and was and came across this one and thought the list of winners sounded interesting. I was actually torn between this and the Booker Prize.Quote:

We need more nominations unless you want to read books from each award twice during the year.
We've pretty much covered all the major international ones.
Since the American National Book Award was nominated, I guess I'll nominate the Governor General's Award for English language fiction.

Anyone fancy nominating a poetry prize for the last choice? Or non-fiction? Might make a refreshing change.
