Best Pulitzer Prize Winners + Runners-Up - Page 2

A subjective list of the top 100: Winners, runners-up, and a few other notable ones that should have perhaps made the list. Also items 6 ( a winner) along with 7 and 8 comprise a trilogy. The orders are in no particular order save the first either- just a top 100 as aforementioned.
Entries 1-6; 9-73 are as stated above. The remainder of the list (74-100) is comprised of books I believe are Pulitzer worthy.
