The rooster is ready to crow: here's the longlist for the 2010 Tournament of Books.

(It's not a very surprising list; Barbara Kingsolver, Dan Chaon, Thomas Pynchon, and Hilary Mantel are all present. However, I'm surprised and delighted to see Stephen King's Under the Dome on the list. I haven't read it, and I'm not sure I will--it's a pretty big-ass book and I don't read King anymore--but I'm hearing good things about it.)
