I don't feel like the Nobel committee has always made sensible (or even defensible) choices, but on the other hand, I feel like J.K. Rowling and Agatha Christie already have the recognition that they deserve... I mean, you're a popular author, you have more money than a small nation would know what to do with, and you need the big important prizes too?
A Nobel prize would bring Rowling no more recognition than she already has; somebody like Orham Panuk (sp?), on the other hand, can benefit from the recognition.
