<p>&nbsp;Really tough choice between Riwling and Dahl. Both so wonderful!</p>

<p>I feel the same astonishment about Dr. Seuss beating Lewis Carroll. Dr. Seuss wrote cute stuff. Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland! There's no comparison.</p> <p>(Note from Jeffrey: Voting isn't done yet for Round 1. It runs through Saturday. So there's still time for Lewis Carroll fans to rally.)</p>

How can anyone choose Stephanie Meyer over Beatrix Potter? SM is for the barely literate and BP is a classic.
