So I voted for Pudd'nhead Wilson, no surprise since I nominated it and would like to see it win. I also decided to cast a vote for The Virginian even though fictional westerns do not generally appeal to me. Way back when (the early 1960s clear through the early 1970s) it inspired a television show that was a favorite of my mother and I figure that a show that ran that long the novel that it was based on must have something going for it. I do recall that one of the characters always dressed all in black, much like Adam from the western Bonanza. Whew, dressing all in black in the summer in Wyoming. Well TV westerns were never based on realism. No knock on the other two books that I have not read. It's just neither piqued my interest much.
