The Pulitzer Awards go back to 1918, and there's already a list for them: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/16... .

This list is only for 1948-present, as listed in the title. The awards previous to that (1918-1948) were in the "Novel" category. The list you have linked to was incorrect at the time I had looked at it and included books that were not award winners, although it may have been corrected since then.

Well, do you want the pre-1948 winners removed?

Actually, the list description says "1938"; is this list for winners since 1938, or since 1948?

It may have been corrected, I just spot checked the link and all of them were cited as winners.

But sadly that list is frozen. I refuse to vote on frozen lists!
