Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your March Madness voting. In fact, when I saw on the news that March Madness was coming, my first thought was "when will Close Reads voting begin?"
Good Grief! If Calvin and Hobbs lose, I may have to abstain from voting for the rest of the bracket. Also, still moaning over the lose of Tintin and Snowy.
I may open myself to a blow of literary backlash, but I will vote for Calvin and Hobbes against every duo on the right side of the bracket without a second thought. (I’m looking at you, Anne).
Maybe even the left side. (I’m looking at you, Sherlock. Frodo.)
I'm going to be devastated if Pooh and Piglet beat Scout and Jem. And I'm going to be devastated if Scout and Jem beat Pooh and Piglet. These brackets are full of lose-lose situations. 😫
Anne and Diana’s friendship cooled considerably after Anne went to college and Diana got married. Jeeves and Wooster’s relationship never changed. Anne is Anne without Diana. Wooster couldn’t survive without Jeeves.
I can only believe that Aubrey and Maturin lost their fight with Holmes and Watson based simply on name recognition. Surely no one who has read both series through multiple times would vote otherwise. I also agree with another comment that LOTR should be banned on principal alone. Name recognition is a… Beast.
Y’all are doing the Hardy Boys dirty! Prediction: Frodo and Sam win the whole shebang, but really Calvin and Hobbes should possibly win (I will find it very hard to choose if it comes down to that)
I need more Wodehouse in my life. He's hilarious. I propose any book of his for next year.
I just finished Thank you Jeeves! It’s hilarious 😂
that is one of my favorite Jeeves and Wooster books ever!

Look guys, if Anne of green gables wins she’ll just get demolished by Harry & Ron. Vote Jeeves and Wooster!!
Anne wins everything around here my guy.
😡😡😡

#1: I'm pouring one out for Mike Mulligan and Marianne tonight.
#2: It never occurred to me, but Jo\Laurie and Gilgamesh\Enkidu are kind of similar...(minus the whole weird sex thing)
(these numbers don't correlate to the brackets, just numbering my thoughts, haha)
Oh. My. Gosh. We do this to ourselves indeed.

Match up #9 was BRUTAL! Tear my heart out!! :)
This is so much fun. My teens are always gathered around me while I look at the bracket and vote. Thank you so much for putting this together.

You’d better have voted for Jeeves and Wooster.
Totally agreed!
Definitely!

Excellent point
Very true.

This is how I feel about Mattie and Rooster currently losing. Name recognition does great injustices in popular voting.
Jeeves and Wooster can’t lose. I’m dead.😭
Your not the only one! :(
I need more people to vote for Jayber and Burly. This is THE best friendship!
Vote Jeeves and Wooster!!

All I know is if the final is Frog & Toad vs Rat & Mole I probably can’t vote on principle.
Holy cow, this is brutal!
You had me chose Frodo and Sam vs Nero and Archie? O cruel fate!
Graeme I feel for you about Tintin. I love those. Obelix, Asterix and Strega Nona should have made it too.
I like your profile picture!
