Vote!

Another interesting story, courtesy of Shelf Awareness:

An amusing note on election day: Jessica James, author of historical nonfiction, polled visitors of her website about "the literary character they think best exemplifies the qualities of a U.S. president." The landslide winner, with 56% of the vote, was Atticus Finch of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.Second, with 15% of the vote, was Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice--who would not qualify because of his foreign birth, but no matter. Third place was a character from one of James's own novels: Colonel Alexander Hunter from Shades of Gray: A Novel of the Civil War in Virginia.

Atticus would certainly get my vote!

Stay tuned for the final circulation tally tomorrow!
