And the winner is . . .
Lord of the Rings
By a margin of 9 to 1, LOTR beat The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn —and 62 other contenders—to win the first annual Tournament of Novels.
Thanks to everyone that participated. Beginning next February we’ll take nominations to determine the seeding for the 2011 brackets.
In the meantime, let’s hear who you think should have won. List one novel—any novel, it doesn’t have to be one listed in the tournament—that you think should have beat our reigning champion.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
