Well, the voting is hardly over -- we frequently get some last minute flurries, after all. But as for winners? I'd argue that the nomination process leading to the discovery of a book, or the enabling of others to discover a book, is my definition of a winner. (That's an awkward sentence, but I can't seem to do better today.) IAC, by that definition, your nomination of The Price of Salt was definitely a winner for me. I'd never run across it, and quite devoured it.
The two leading books are both ones I've read. Master and Commander is a book that I've read recently and repeatedly but I nominated it in the hope that doing so will enable others here to discover a superb author and series. Meanwhile, The Three Musketeers is a book that I read a LONG time ago, and my memory of it is quite thoroughly tainted by the various onscreen versions, so I won't mind re-reading it. (Though it is long.)
