    The 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature goes to...Mario Vargas Llosa!
    Whoda thunk it?!

    I had enjoyed his "The Feast of the Goat" and especially "Conversation in the Cathedral", and I've been reading "Death in the Andes" lately, and now he's (finally) received his well-deserved prize.

    The best part of it is that the Academy has at last come to give the Prize to someone I know! [Or perhaps I should've twisted that around?]

    Wow! He's a great writer. For once they gave this prise to someone who deserved it.
    I read a few books by him a long time ago, and I remember that I was very impressed by "The Green House".

    yeah, Nobels are a joke; I can't believe anyone takes them seriously.
