THE STATE OF AMERICAN LITERACY, 2005: There's so much good stuff in this short interview with Us Weekly's Mara Reinstein and Joey Bartolomeo, authors of the recently released Brad & Jen: The Rise and Fall of Hollywood’s Golden Couple that I'd hate to spoil any of the fun for you by revealing the highlights here.

Meanwhile, The Morning News is running a March Madness-brackets-style literary contest to choose the best book of 2004. Some well-known blogger are among those picking the winners of the first three rounds, with all the judges then reading the two books in the Finals and putting in their vote. Early winners include Phillip Roth and Tom Wolfe, but by reading the judge's comments, I don't see either of these powerhouses going deep into the tourney.
