Tournament of Books

The Morning News has announced the line-up for the 2006 Tournament of Books. Unlike last year, where I picked David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas to win (which it did), I have no real knowledge of this years field, having read none of them so far.

But that's not enough to stop me from picking a winner.

Unfortunately, they haven't yet listed the matchups, so I can't pick a final four, but I'm going to guess that The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and The King of Kings County by Whitney Terrell go down to the wire, with The King beating the Vampire.
