There were some other contenders but ultimately Pnin got my vote.

I don’t wanna be a Pniniad no more.

Have hardly read anything on this list, not even On the Road. The Glass Bees looked fascinating based on the description and seemed to always be on the verge of becoming interesting but bored me throughout. Would write in Moominland Midwinter.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The only ones I've read are "On the Road" and "The Fish Can Sing". I still have fond memories of reading "On the Road" though it seems to be a bit out of fashion these days.

The moomins omission is 100% wikipedia's fault - if it had been on their list you better believe I'd have included it and voted for it too.

Maybe I should have voted for The Glass Bees instead of Pnin to mix it up. But I couldn't, not really.
