via Powell's Blog comes the Tournament of Books Pool from Coudal Partners where you can bet on the books chosen by The Morning News It costs ten dollars to place a bet.
All the money collected will be given to Donors Choose, an awesome charity that "provides students in need with the resources our public schools often lack." After the tournament we will randomly choose one of the right answers and send that person ALL the nominated books. Nine other correct bets will receive the nominated book of their choice.
The Current Odds according to the site are:
The History of Love 4/1
The Time in Between 20/1
Veronica 7/1
Never Let Me Go 5/2
The Greatest Man in Cedar Hole 30/1
Home Land 9/2
The Historian 5/1
No Country for Old Men 7/2
The King of Kings County 20/1
Anansi Boys 8/1
The Accidental 8/1
On Beauty 7/2
Beasts of No Nation 16/1
Garner 10/1
Saturday 3/1
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 4/1
Hard choice since I've only read Teh Historian... I overheard sections of Never Let Me Go and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close while riding in S's car while he had the CDs of them playing. Will definitely have to add a few of these others to my to-do list...
Our office is about to start a book club, but I don't think we're organized enough to run a pool like this (though the Survivor Pool is still going strong).
