The Winner Of PBS’s Poll For America’s Favorite Book Is —

— by a sizable margin, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. “The voting process [for the Great American Read] wasn’t terribly scientific … but there are themes among the final 10: They’re largely geared at young readers, nine of the top-voted authors are white, and seven are women. Half are Americans, and the only living writers among them are [J.K.] Rowling and [Diana] Gabaldon.”
