TTT: (Freebie) Pulitzer Prize winners and finalists I "think" I want to read

Top Ten Tuesday: Next Pulitzer Prize Fiction winners I "think" I want to read.

I am almost finished reading my first batch of Pulitzer Prize winners, with only two titles left to go (43 down, over 60 to go.) Now I am turning my attention to other titles I think I want to read. This is not a hard and fast list, just me trying to decide IF I should extend my list to include more books. Any advice from you would be great. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Do you recommend others? My first batch of novels included ALL the winners from the 21st Century. See my list here, if curious what I've already read.

Title / Author	Year winner/finalist	Why
The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson	2013 winner	This is one of the last two 21st century winners I haven’t read yet.
Train Dreams by Denis Johnson	2012 finalist	In 2012 no winner was announced. Many think this novella deserved it.
The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich	2009 finalist	I am a devoted Erdrich fan.
The Known World by Edward Jones	2004 winner	This is one of the last two 21st century winners I haven’t read yet.
American Pastoral by Philip Roth	1998 winner	I’ve read a few books by Roth before and know he is a good writer. Included on Paste Magazine’s top 30 Pulitzer Prize winners list.
Humbolt’s Gift by Saul Bellow	1976 winner	One blogging friend mentioned that she liked this book, though she thought it was a bit plodding. I just want to read something by Saul Bellow and might as well cross off another Pulitzer book while I’m at it. Pretty thin rationale, I realize.
Killer Angels by Michael Shaara	1975 winner	A friend used to rave about all of Shaara’s book (father and son both). It was the first novel on the Shortform list of best Pulitzers that I hadn’t already read, coming in at #30.
House Made of Dawn by N. Scott Momaday	1969 winner	Momaday was the first Native American to win the award.
The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk	1952 winner	It made it onto the Shortform’s list, but only at spot #44
All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren	1947 winner	This title pretty much shows up on all lists of best Pulitzers.
For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway	1942 finalist	“Finalist” wasn’t a thing in 1942. The Pulitzer committee didn’t list the finalists each year until 1980. But no award was given in 1942 due to “politics.” One member of the committee that year vetoed this book.
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck	1932 re-read winner	I read The Good Earth when I was in junior high school. I loved it. Now I want to reread it as an adult and see if it is as good as I remember it.
The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thorton Wilder	1928 winner	I’ve placed this book on and off my Pulitzer reading list several times. It made it onto the top 30 Paste Magazine list. Back onto my list it goes.

One additional book I'm adding: Love in Infant Monkeys by Lydia Millet. It was a finalist in 2010, the year that Tinkers won the prize. I hated Tinkers so I decided to read the other finalists that year to see if the committee didn't have much to pick from or what happened.
