HTMLGIANT Features

HTMLGIANT’s Tournament of Bookshit

This year in place of our regular “Mean Week,” HTMLGIANT will be running something we’d like to call our Tournament of Bookshit, in which 64 book related shits will be placed into an NCAA style bracket to square off and determine, by the most arbitrary means possible, [something]. What that [something] is I have no idea, but I do know that our tournament will operate by the same wily-nily sure let’s do it this way found in most any literary competition, whether it be list making, book jousting, or whatever else you’ve got.

Below you’ll find a list of the 64 entities selected pretty much on a whim to be our contestants. They’re silly. For each round a guest judge of various description and sensibilities will analyze each in light of each other and then select one by whatever terms they like to go forward, with perhaps a Mean Week attitude in mind. In the end, we’ll crown a very special winner the King Shit Mountain of Super Bookshit.

We’ve also set up, for those taking score at home, a bracket system where you can fill out your predictions if you want. It requires you to sign up but only takes a second. At the end we’ll have a prize pool of literary stuff to give to whoever somehow pulls that magic high score out of the hat of darkness.

Any authors/publishers/etc interesting in throwing in on the prizes, please leave a comment with what you’d like to give away and we’ll include it in the winnings and link it in a round up of Kind Souls.

Registration and prediction is free and will be open until the first decisions begin posting on Wednesday around Noon. Playoffs will continue at whatever pace they continue at.

      I took my brackets literally, and decided what I actually preferred of the two, practically or conceptually. I ended up with  alcoholism winning over ‘lyric essays.’

      Final Winner:
      Alcoholism over Lyric Essays

      The toughest contests for me were:
      living in Brooklyn vs. Alcoholism; celebrity fiction vs. dream sequences with animals; declaring ‘___ is dead vs. horny middle-aged balding professors (as those two are complementary); and lastly, Sewage Treatment Technologies vs. The Pulitzer Prize.Thank you htmlgiant for helping me kill time with such pointlessly productive entertainment.
