Welcome to this year's edition of Book Madness, in which great books and characters compete for literary supremacy. Who will be this year's Cinderella story? You decide!
This year, we are returning to the classics - specifically those that you, the fan, have recommended over the years to become part of the Out of Print collection. It's a diverse and fun mix of the world's most celebrated books.
But we need your help. Like the NCAA March Madness tourney, Book Madness features 64 competitors. This year, we've randomly drawn 56 titles to be included in the competition, but we are looking for you to help us with the remaining eight titles that are "on the bubble."
Voting starts now and ends on Thursday (2/26) at 4 pm EST. The eight titles receiving the most votes will move on to the big show!
You may vote for up to eight titles from the list below.
