TALK ABOUT YOUR CHICK LIT: While most stories about today's announcement of the list of National Book Award finalists will lead with the somewhat stunning news that The 9/11 Commission Report is among the non-fiction nominees (I'm halfway through it, so please no spoilers in the comments; I'm dying to see if this Saddam fellow has any link to the attacks), but I think even more interesting is the fact that all five fiction nominees are women. I could not find a list of past finalists anywhere, so I'm not sure how unique this is, but a look at the past fiction winners over the last 10-15 years seems relatively evenly split between the sexes.
