It's Tournament of Books Season

It’s my favorite time of the year, as The Morning News’ Tournament of Books is underway. As usual, I have my favorite (Klara and the Sun), but it’s really all about the general celebrating here.

Books don’t get a lot of space out in the world. These couple of weeks in March, though, help amplify a few books, and I’m always happy about that.

The Tournament shows how subjective art is, and I think that’s sort of the point of it all. We love what we love, and it doesn’t really have to make sense.

Anyhow, I’m following along each morning, rooting for my favorite of each pairing, but when I reach the judgement at the end, I’m just happy to have been along for the ride.

Here’s to books—and all they give us. Thank you, The Morning News, for the fun.
