You might have heard something about the National Book Foundation picking the best of the best this year. They started a special blog featuring a past winner each day. Now they’ve opened the polls. You can pick from 6 books which is the best National Book Award book. It’s a tough one. Right now Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man leads the pack. The winner will be announced at the 60th National Book Awards ceremony on November 18th.

Invisible Man is the only one of the six that I’ve read, so it gets my vote. Great book, one I’ve been meaning to re-read for a while now.
