Join a Tournament!
If the NCAA's March Madness isn't your thing, consider joining The Morning News and their literary Tournament of Books. For over 15 years, this group has rounded up the best books from the previous year to be judged and discussed until only one remains. This year's list of 16 was culled from a wonderful long list. Use both as great additions to your To Be Read Pile.
This year's Tournament begins March 6th.
