nonfiction microblog #2

Well, I'm more than halfway through the book by now. That's good!
I have to say that I thoroughly enjoy it. It's wonderfully written, and I'm thinking of actually doing some literary criticism for this macroblog.
I'm definitely having more fun with this book that I did with Confederacy, which is surprising considering I don't read a lot of nonfiction and didn't expect to be so invested in, well, a nonfiction book.
Both of my books are Pulitzer prize winners, which got me thinking about how Pulitzer prizes are awarded. As I was reading both of these books, one of them was much better than the other (in my opinion). I don't think I could ever award Pulitzer prizes. It seems so stressful. How do you judge a book? I'm getting overwhelmed just thinking about it.
So I visited www.pulitzer.org for my Pulitzer-related question.

Cool! That doesn't help.
Seriously, that's probably the worst answer they could have given me. By the way, the "How to Enter" and "Administration" page really didn't help, either. It just gave the deadlines for submissions and stuff like that. Thanks, Pulitzer Prize Board.
Ah well. I guess while we're here we can check out some of the other burning Pulitzer prize related questions.

This question haunts me. What it's telling me is that there's just so many people wondering if former president Barack Obama won a Pulitzer Prize that that very question made it to the "Frequently Asked Questions" page of the Pulitzer website. I guess I'm curious, too. Or I was, until I read the answer. But still. What a specific yet intriguing question. Maybe I'm missing something. Was there an Obama Pulitzer Prize thing going on? Pulitzergate?
I looked it up, and someone did win a Pulitzer for a photo of Obama, but I'm not seeing much else.

Cool.
This was a fruitless journey. I am disappointed. I'm disappointed in the Pulitzer Prize Board. I'm disappointed in myself. I'm just. Disappointed.

Well, thanks for staying tuned to this microblog, I guess. It's a downer. Ah well.
