I read where this lady, Herta Mueller, received the Nobel Prize for Literature..
How are these names placed before the committee?
There are thousands of writers, so how is the final decision made?

No, but they do all have to be haughty I think. There are instances in the past of Nobel worthy individuals getting snubbed because of alleged political reasons or ethnic prejudice. Some of the more obvious ones involve instances of a person getting a prize for something someone else already did, but the prize winner was more politically or racially "acceptable."
Examples:
Guglielmo Marconi receives Nobel for his work in developing radio, all of which had already been done by Nikolai Tesla.
Chung-Yao Chao was the first person to capture positrons through electron-positron annihilation but Carl D. Anderson won the award for doing the same thing years later, even though he admitted he was inspired by Chao's work.
And several others...

Nobel Prizes are overrated. That said, I still plan to win one for literature at some point!

If you can pull that off phony, I'll lobby for you to get that prize myself.

| Quote: | | In 2007 Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which was shared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, headed by Rajendra K. Pachauri (Delhi, India). The award was given "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change." |
This was after Mr. Gore received an Academy Award in 2006 for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," and before receiving a Grammy earlier this year for the spoken word version of his book of the same name,

Al Gore appears to have friends in high places.
