Nope. I've found that award winners in any media don't generally match up with my tastes. (Which, yeah, might say something about my tastes.)

My reading time is finite, I'd rather read something I more certain I'd like. Sometimes I end up liking something that won awards (usually Newbery ones), but that's just chance.

I respect that. I’m an awards chaser and often end up disappointed.

This is me as well. The only Pulitzer winner I've read and enjoyed is the The Color Purple. The most recent one I've tried to read was All The Light We Cannot See. That was an epic fail.

I agree with liking the Newberry award winners. I don't like all of them but if I'm going to like a book that's won an award, it will most likely be a Newberry.
