NoMyths, to be more specific (which is what I didn't do in putting together my preliminary ranking), your Sports pick is a little too contemporary and niched. I'm looking for sports title that transcends the genre to where non-sports readers would know or heard of. As far as Poem, this is a pick where nearly everyone (except for 2) falls for me, so it didn't hurt you. While I like the Hitchhiker pick, it is a surprise that it was picked in this category and that will hurt you among some voters. For me, it was a good pick but of the Series picked so far, this was the weakest one (going up against Potter or Tolkien or Narnia will be tough). Your Non-Fiction, while an important historical document, is not one that is read. But so far it's not bad, just that there are non-fiction picks yet out there that will blow this one away.
