Readers, Who Would You Have Picked For the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction?

The big news from the Pulitzers Prizes is the award that was not given.

The Pulitzer committee didn't hand out a prize for fiction this year -- the first time this has happened in 35 years, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

A three-member fiction jury picked these finalists: Train Dreams by Denis Johnson, Swamplandia! by Karen Russell and The Pale King by David Foster Wallace.

But the Pulitzer Board actually decides who receives the awards, and Administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes Sig Gissler told the Associated Press that none of the nominees received a majority from the Pulitzer board.

Very irksome for the fiction jury.

Have you read any of these novels? Of the three, which would you have picked? Did you read another book not on the list that you consider better?
