Project "Nobel Prize Books"

How would you like to wake up every morning and eat something so incredibly good, appreciated by the greatest food critics in the world?
I would like that. It’s not impossible but it does require quite a bit of travelling and it could get an expensive hobby. Fortunately this is not the case with books :). You can buy books from Nobel Prize authors cheaper than a meal for 2.
Now, what about the matter of taste? What if some dish that the critics appreciate is simply awful? Well, it’s a possibility. I am curious if this applies to literature, so I am going to start the "Nobel Prize Books" project. As time allows, I will read representative pieces from award winning authors and tell you if I liked them. 
First book (just bought today):  Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter – Mario Vargas Llosa (Nobel Prize for Literature winner in 2010).
I will get back with a post on this book and I look forward to second opinions. 

Pleasant reading!
