...According to their blog, “Critical Mass,” “it felt like a moment had yet to be seized about finding out what a lot of people said was good.” Nearly 500 of the NBCC’s member critics voted on the first “Best Recommended” list, plus additional finalists and winners of its yearly book awards. Writers like John Updike ’54 and Cynthia Ozick were able to vote for one book in each of three categories: fiction, non-fiction, and poetry...

But Clinton had considerable bragging rights as well. She won California, the night's biggest prize, and a slightly larger percentage of the popular vote and took particular glee in routing Obama in Massachusetts, despite all the hoopla that had surrounded Obama...
