After so many people voting for their favourites, I thought I should summarise the results. Don’t expect this to be deadly accurate – so no fighting amongst yourselves, authors 😉 I’ve also kept things shorter by excluding most single votes in the results and discounting people’s 4th, 5th and 6th votes. However, your recommendations are all included in the blog comments anyway.
Remember, it’s just a bit of fun so I have no intention of getting caught up in arguments about ‘the rules’ or my arithmetic, but it should be useful for the user group. Thanks again
