March brings the big basketball tournament, referred to as March Madness. For those of us less sports minded, read about the Tournament of Books, sponsored by online bookstore Powells.com and the zine The Morning News. The tournament pits books against one another in the search of the best book of the year. The final has Philip Roth's The Plot Against America against David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas.
What a fantastic idea!
