William Shakespeare and the Battlin' Bards are our second No. 1 seed in Book Brawl, competing against children's author Richard Scarry.
Bond versus Bourne? No, it's Ian Fleming against Robert Ludlum in the No. 8 vs. No. 9 battle.
John Grisham (No. 5) squares off with David Baldacci (No. 12) while deep spiritual thinkers C.S. Lewis (No. 4) and Paulo Coelho (No. 13) meet. Should Coelho's army of 8.9 million followers on Twitter make this your upset special?
Two old-school types will face each other when Mickey Spillane (No. 6) and Earle Gardner (No. 11). That brings up this question -- in a dark alley, do you want Perry Mason or Mike Hammer by your side?
James Patterson (No. 3) and Patricia Cornwell (No. 14) will do battle while two tellers of tall tales -- JRR Tolkien (No. 7) and Mark Twain (No. 15) will see who gets the last word.
Finally, will Harold Robbins (No. 15) be any match for Ernest "Papa" Hemingway (No. 2)?
Voting for Book Brawl begins on March 3!
