Truthfully, I'd be happy with about four of these: Persuasion, Wildfell, Woman in White, Vanity Fair, and Tess are all on my list. If only there were ranking or multiple votes!

Even if we couldn't do ranking, being able to vote for more than one when there are several good selections would be nice. It would make it possible for a book that was no one's first choice, but everyone's second choice, to win.
It's neck and neck here between Austen and Steinbeck! Every time I check they've both had more votes but are still tied...

I know at least one group that uses lisotpia to select their group reads, but that presumes people update listopia at least once a month and that you're okay with non-group members voting.
I will be reading Steinbeck regardless since he fits nicely in my Bingo challenge and also because I did not love either Austen work that I have read so far.

Yay, no runoff! The Grapes of Wrath is an amazing book.
I haven't read it since high school, but I did just pick up a copy last week (whether it won or not I planned to read it again soon).
