Novel Madness

If you want to make sure that Tolkien's Lord of the Rings survives a first-round matchup with Rand's Atlas Shrugged, be sure to head over to First Thoughts and weigh in on "The Tournament of Novels," put together by Joe Carter.

In addition to the Bracket 8 matchup of Tolkien and Rand, other contests to watch are between Heinlein's Starship Troopers and Card's Ender's Game (Bracket 6), Huxley's Brave New World and Orwell's 1984 (Bracket 9), and Ellison's Invisible Man and Wright's Native Son (Bracket 22).
