For any one who's curious, here's the final ranking with
To Kill a Mockingbird the winner.
- The top 10 in order of votes:
1. “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee
2. “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon (series)
3. “Harry Potter” by J.K. Rowling (series)
4. “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen
5. “The Lord of the Rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien (series)
6. “Gone with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell
7. “Charlotte's Web” by E.B. White
8. “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott
9. “The Chronicles of Narnia” by C.S. Lewis (series)
10. “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte
Not surprising, I suppose, that
Mockingbird won; it's accessible with a literary gloss, so that people can pat themselves on the back for choosing it. Second and third probably reflect the real taste of the kind of people who vote in these thing.
But if it's about what people like to read, it seems accurate enough with the possible exception of
Jane Eyre; no doubt why she's tenth on this list.
