Final Results

March 1, 2001:

Today we announce the winners in our fifth annual reader’s poll. So why keep this set of interim results online? Our readers enjoy seeing them and comparing them with the final tally, and because many of the titles that are shown and yet didn’t win or place in the final tally are damn good books. We’ll leave this list online until we start the voting for next year’s poll.
