Call me a philistine, but money from actual readers is what counts. Awards don't.

Although I'd be happy to award you "The Ori Pomerantz irrelevant award" if it will make you feel better ;-).

can I put that award on my LJ? maybe list it on my CV, too, Ori?

No! You have to be REALLY irrelevant, like me!

Sure you can put it on your CV. Unless, that is, you want to actually get the job. Then, it is probably counter-indicated.

(chuckle) Can I have the money instead? Seriously, the one I'd like is NYT bestseller, and the Wall Street Journal bestseller list (based on numbers from Bookscan, unlike NYT which is based on supposedly unknown stores in NY.) would make me very happy.

Sorry, but money actually means something. I can only give things that meaningless ;-(. It seems that a lot of literary awards are mutual admiration societies, and meaningless in any real sense of the word.
