Gamble On Literature

So it’s now possible to place bets on the Fifth Annual Morning News Tournament of Books and win big prizes. I’m putting down $20 on the following books (odds in parentheses):

• Unaccustomed Earth (7/2)
• The Lazarus Project (8/1)
• City of Refuge (20/1)

Best part of it all? All the money goes to buy books for underprivileged kids. If I had more money to bet, I would.
