Holiday reading results

Yes, here it is, what you've all been waiting for after the four weeks of build-up to this momentous, uh, moment - the results of the Choose experiment whereby I allowed total strangers to decide my holiday reading material for me. They came, they voted, they recommended more books, they have already cost me money through buying recommended books...

As the votes came in, it quickly transpired that a more sophisticated voting system was required than originally planned. So unbeknownst to all but myself, you the voters have given a book one vote if you mentioned it and two votes if you seemed really enthusiastic about it. And one enterprising soul asked to give a negative vote to Animal Farm, a request which was duly granted. Not that it actually made any difference to the final result :)

*drumroll*

Books with seven votes: Good Omens
Books with five votes: Wuthering Heights, Animal Farm
Books with four votes: Fahrenheit 451, The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul
Books with three votes: The Illustrated Man, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, The Secret History, Great Expectations, Of Mice And Men, Jane Eyre, Hitchhiker's.

(If you've read through all the comments on the original post and are wondering why the votes for Wuthering Heights, Animal Farm, Great Expectations and Jane Eyre don't seem to add up, some votes were left in a comment to a different post, presumably to throw me off the scent in some way...)

That's twelve books, which ought to be manageable. However, given that I'm also taking Gone With The Wind, Fight Club and Inversions (which I'm unlikely to finish before the weekend) I'll strike Hitchhiker's off the list since I read them all this time last year. Thus leaving fourteen in total, which should last me until I get back... if not then I'm going to have to buy more Terry Pratchett novels in French and read those instead ;)
