I love nerds

Our local library is hosting its own March Madness, and I love it.

Don't get me wrong, basketball is great to watch and I have been known to fill out a bracket in my time (which Coleman laughs at because he thinks I know nothing about the teams...until I beat him. Not so much laughing then.). But this is even better!

In hopes of picking the "Greatest American Novel Ever," website visitors are asked to vote in head-to-head matchups in four regions (two of which are open for voting now). Each novel is seeded - To Kill a Mockingbird is a no. 1 seed while Sophie's Choice is only a no. 15 seed. No clue who seeded them, but it's a good bet that some area librarians had themselves a party and enjoyed the process.
