The First Super Tuesday Results

Norm Geras has posted the results of his favorite English-language novelists poll. Jane Austen and Charles Dickens lead the pack by a wide margin. Stupidly, I read Norm's initial request as living English-language novelists, so neither Jane nor Charles received my vote. Of those breathing writers I listed, three made the top 40: Ian McEwan, Cormac McCarthy, and Martin Amis.
