- seanhunter 2y agoTom Lehrer famously retired when Kissinger got the peace prize declaring satire to be dead. The really funny one to me is they gave literature to Winston Churchill because they thought they probably couldn't give him peace, then when Kissinger came up they thought "Why not?"
- FergusArgyll 2y agoChurchill's autobiography [0] is actually a great read. I'm nowhere near qualified to judge a literature Nobel prize but I loved it. His history of the English speaking peoples is pretty good too. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Early_Life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Early_Life
