I’m pretty sure this is the first time that I have read the Pulitzer Award winning book before it won the Pulitzer.  So, that’s exciting.  Since it’s probably the only book I read this year that was even close to consideration, I whole heartily agree with the choice.  Both Kate and I read it for a book club.  Here’s my review and Kate will post her review soon.  Congrats Mr. Doerr!
