Vote Result for World Book Night Poll

March 5, 2011 by Nathaniel

Polling has now closed – Thanks to all our voters.

We have the results on the proposal to add some of the World Book Night selection of Novels to the List of Novels you might want to read in your life-time if you get half the chance:

Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, received thirteen votes and was in first place.

Case Histories by Kate Atkinson,
A Life Like Other People’s by Alan Bennett,
Beloved by Toni Morrison,
were in equal second place with eleven votes each.

Since we had agreed that the top two novels in this poll would end up on our list, and based on these results, I propose to add these four books to our List of Novels.
