Looks like NONE of us correctly predicted the outcome of today’s round of the book tourney. And Mark’s slip yesterday (I don’t think the books are still up there, but they were) leads me to believe I incorrectly guessed one of the next ones too. YEE-OUCH.
I still believe The Road will win, though. But we’ll see.
Have you read The Road? Just wondering if you think it will win because you think it’s good, or because other people think it’s good.
I have and I thought it was wonderful — an instant classic, and that’s why I think it should win.
I honestly think it’s better than The Echo Maker by a nose (and I can’t _believe_ that book is already out; I thought it would come down to those two, or to The Road and Against the Day, which I haven’t read). I have to say, though, that there are many other books I wish were in competition; I’m fairly unexcited by a lot of the ones that are in play.
