^Your inability to choose makes me proud. 41 votes from 7 people is pretty high. I am also surprised that Alice Munro didn't walk away with this. I was fearful of that when I included her in the list. I have a feeling the run-off is going to be a runaway, but prove me wrong. I picked both of those to finish fairly high.
I'm also surprised that every book got a vote. I'm glad I didn't waste space on the list which was my worry when it became so long.
I'll add that I have now read three books from the list this year and have started a fourth. All have been very worthwhile.
A Good Man: I really liked the relationship between Sitting Bull and Walsh
No Great Mischief: a tough book to start, but it opens up beautifully
Sanaaq: the Inuit way of life was a joy to read
February: the first twenty pages had me hooked on Helen's story and the next fifty pages made me weepy.
