I agree–I think Wao’s going to take it. And neither you nor I will have read your copy when it does, ha! But then, I thought Remainder would be defeated again, too, so who knows? The subjectivity of it makes it fun.

I went ahead and bet on Wao, even though I haven’t read it. Call it female intuition.

I had thought that Tree of Smoke would beat it, but I’m not so surprised. I think it’ll easily trounce Remainder, which is zombie #1, though I’m interested to see if Savage Detectives can upset the apparent juggernaut of Oscar Wao.

I really liked this one too. I think it’s going to go head-to-head with the Junot Diaz in the Tournament of Books for the final.
