25.7 - Nick KY’s Task: Double Duty – Pulitzer Prizes.

This is a two book task. Read one Book 1 and one Book 2.

Book 1. Read a book with at least one word in the TITLE which has a set of consecutive double letters. Subtitles are excluded.
Examples: Cloudstreet EE, Voodoo Doll OO (only one set is required) The Starless Sea SS

Book2. The Pulitzer Prizes were originated as journalism awards. Since drama and music were reviewed by journalists, those categories were added on early. Books (fiction, nonfiction, criticism) came along a little later.

Read a book written by a winning author or finalist from one of these lists:

1. Fiction, 1948 to the present..

2. General Nonfiction, 1962 to the present.

3. Criticism or Commentary (1970-72 only).

You are correct. Any Book by the finalist or winner will work.

Notice how example 3 above gives both a winning book and non-winning book by Elizabeth Kolbert. Either one will do.
