I would like to compare books by the awards that they've won. This is already possible to do in a glance for all the books in one's own library. I'm interested in the books that aren't yet in my library. Which ones won which awards?
It should be straightforward to add the field "Awards and honors" to other pages. Each individual book record already has that field. Comparing award winners with one another would allow users to see what other awards ALL of those books won. Which awards agree with other awards? Perhaps one book on the New York Times Top 100 list was only recognized by the Times and not by The Guardian. However, another book on the Times list may have been also recognized by King County Library System and the San Francisco Chronicle. On the page of the Man Booker Prize, for example, one could scroll through all of that award's winners and see beside each title the other awards that each book won.
Try visiting any page that lists all of the winners of any award. I'd like to see an adjacent column (the "Awards and honors" field) displaying all awards and honors won by each book on that list.
Does this make sense? Is it feasible?

>1 RAmaine7: You can see an individual award page, with all the winners and nominees, or see all awards for an individual work on a work page. The only way I could think of to see what won 2 or more different ones would be to search for a tagmash, say Pulitzer Prize and Guardian 100. Lots of people use tags for awards, so it should work well unless very few members have a copy of some award winner.
