"The U.S. website The Morning News has announced its lineup of 
contenders for this year's "Tournament of Books." The annual event 
features a group of litbloggers and critics pitting 16 notable novels 
of the past year against each other, one at a time. Each judge reads 
two books, picks a winner, and the winner advances to face another 
judge in the next round - all until one book is left standing."

"... starting today, let's encourage gambling and gaming. Feuds and 
fisticuffs. Hooliganism and horseplay. Let's hear from readers and 
bloggers whose prejudices and ignorance make them every bit as 
qualified as the judges themselves. Let's have non-expert color 
commentary. Let's have amateur analysis of the non-expert color 
commentary. In the great tradition of American letters, let's get 
ready to talk about books somebody else has been reading!

"In that spirit, though the actual tournament is still weeks from 
now, we need some reader participation right away. Please read over 
this year's list of contenders, then vote below (only once, and 
before Sunday the 25th) for your favorite book, or, if not your 
favorite, the one you think ought to win, or, if not the one you 
think ought to win, the one you would read first if you had time to 
read anymore. Like last year, the top two vote-getters will gain new 
life in this year's Zombie Round."
