Now that Alice Munro has won the Nobel prize for Literature 2013 it is time to look back and to have a personal top 10 of the previous winners. I haven't read anything yet of Alice, so she has to wait...

Tomas Tranströmer (2011) - 17 dikter
Harold Pinter (2005) - The Caretaker
Dario Fo (1997) - Tutti uniti! Tutti insieme! Ma scusa, quello non è il padrone?
Gabriel García Márquez (1982 - Cien años de soledad
Saul Bellow (1976) - Humboldt's Gift
Pablo Neruda (1971) - Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada
Samuel Beckett (1969) - Waiting for Godot
John Steinbeck (1962) - Travels with Charley
Ernst Hemingway (1954 - For Whom the Bell Tolls
André Gide (1946) - Corydon
Thomas Mann (1929) - Buddenbrooks

OK - I know, that are 11 and not ten - but I could leave one out, could I? These are books and writers that will be read forever.
