Book Critics
 Why are print book reviewers and litbloggers fighting over which group 
talks about literature better? On the one hand, the battle is less 
ferocious than we are led to believe: whenever they are given a chance a
 small number of online commentators scream about old media elitists 
stomping on the democratic virtues of the Web. A fifth award category for books (Autobiography/Biography) was added for
 1983 and divided in two for 2005. Since 2005 there are eight awards. 
Six National Book Critics Circle Awards recognize "best books" published
 in the United States during the preceding year in six categories: 
fiction, nonfiction, autobiography, biography, criticism, and poetry. Annually "the most accomplished reviewer" among its members is recognized by the Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing (from 1991).
