    So does that mean we have to pick one of the authors tied with seven votes? Let's pick McEwan.

    The poll is open for another month so the result might be quite different from how things stand at the moment.

    Not all his books are that long, I mean, they aren't short either but I would hope that if Irving is picked, Until I Find You wouldn't be the book we'd pick to read.
