The results are in and the winner of the poll is....

The Little World of Don Camillo by Giovannino Guareschi


The Moderators' Choice to accompany The Little World of Don Camillo is the book which came second in the poll...

The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa


Thanks to everyone who nominated, discussed and voted

Brian E Reynolds | 1130 comments The Little World of Don Camillo was required reading for entering students in the summer before freshman year at my Catholic boys high school, circa 1967. When I saw the poll results, I checked my shelves and I still have my copy from then. It may be about time for a re-read.

I always find it interesting to revisits books from my youth Brian - here's hoping we get to read your musings in June, when we discuss the book
