Really? I always liked the Commonwealth aspect of the award. I think it gave us a different set of books as winners than the Pulitzer. I might just be afraid that the short and long lists for the Pulitzer and Booker just become the same as time goes on. In which case, we all lose in the great variety there is out there. Of course, if the Pulitzer can't even give out an award form their own country, maybe I shouldn't worry too much.
