Ooh, ooh: The New Yorker's June 7 issue will have a list of the top 20 American writers under 40, the first such list published by the magazine since 1999. If you think you might be on this list, the Observer reports that you'll know for sure by Monday, in case you want to sit by the phone instead of doing something like being super awesome at writing and putting the rest of us under-40s to shame.
So who do you think will be on the list?

I love lists like this. I may have to sneak my roommate's copy once it arrives.
My guesses: David Eggers, Joshua Ferris, Jonathan Safran Foer, Vendela Vida, Adam Haslett . . . some people like Colson Whitehead, Jonathan Lethem, and Jhumpa Lahiri probably aren't young enough to qualify anymore.
