Fun With Brackets

I discovered a fun new book this week, The Enlightened Bracketologist:The Final Four of Everything. In it experts in various fields celebrate March Madness by creating a bracket of their own passion. It's one of those fun books you can't put down-you keep 'thinking one more page' then suddenly it's 15 minutes later and someone's knocking on the bathroom door saying, "Everything okay in there?".

My favorite was William Nack's in which he ranked famous horses and surprisingly, cause it's William Nack, Secretariat did not come out on top. (Alexander the Great's horse did.) But with this kind of book it's not your favorites that hold the true appeal, it's the ones you disagree with that are the most fun. Peach is the best fruit? "Two Little Hitlers" is the best Elvis Costello song? What were they thinking?

March madness indeed.

So you know I had to try it myself.
