How many Nobel Laureates do you know

Recommended Posts

Apparently none.

But I have read works by Rudyard Kipling, Boris Pasternak, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Isaac Singer, Herman Hesse, John Steinbeck, Jose Saramago and J.M. Coetzee, I saw Cats, and Jimmy Carter spoke at my grad school graduation. Does that count? :D
