And then there were two! It's been fun watching the vote. I'll post the one-day run-off poll a little later.

Heh, I had actually considered separately nominating Flann O'Brien's "At Swim-Two-Birds" as well! I'm not sure if there's much to worry about the two overlapping though - Boys seems a serious novel while Birds seems a comedic experimental work - but they could have similarities I'm unaware of and regardless, with the title name-play it does make it tempting to want to read the O'Brien first.
ETA - The one-day run-off poll
is up.
