This was a fun exercise! I recommend it! That said I only went 11 for 16 on this bunch. I had time to start OPEN CITY, but not finish it; library copies of THE SENSE OF AN ENDING, STATE OF WONDER and THE SISTERS BROTHERS were scarce, and I didn't get the gumption to start 1Q84. So I made my picks based on the information I knew and where I thought each match-up would break; the only one I really had no idea on was STATE OF WONDER vs. SISTERS BROTHERS. Anyone want to fill me in?
Edit: And in classic March Madness fashion my bracket is already blown. Oh, well.

So, are you going to re-do your brackets with consideration for that first draw ? I can't believe you carried Devil all the way to the zombie round, though!
Maybe I'll do second-round picks, but I made my (wrong) choices and I have to live with them. I thought this was going to be so easy, I actually do decently in March Madness pools despite knowing nothing about NCAA basketball...
DEVIL just seemed like the kind of book ToB would want to champion... and, related, I didn't feel like Emma Straub really addressed what makes SENSE OF AN ENDING her choice over it in her decision. But that's neither here nor there.
Well, congrats on your pick today, anyway, although I thought Binelli's argument was WEAK.
