It's not NOBLE it's N-O-B-E-L!

I saw in a movie once wherein a child was telling her mom that he will receive the NOBLE prize when he grows up. The mother corrected him in saying NOBLE. "It's N-O-B-E-L!"

So here's a list of some Nobel prize winners in literature which I got from the net.

Again, it's NOBEL not noble!
