I've read Mockingbird and Liebowitz and Peckham Rye and Weirdstone but I don't feel strongly about any of them.

I've only read Mockingbird and Canticle. Both have good parts but I'm not voting.

Of the few I've read, nothing stands out as a favorite. I'll abstain, too.

i figured mockingbird would've stormed this. was it too obvious a choice?

Yeah, I'm shocked by this too - haven't read Updike but he sounds very unappealing.
Don't think we've been afraid of obvious picks in these before - On The Road, Animal Farm, the two Kafkas.

I didn’t vote in this but maybe a lot of people associate it with being a school book, which can sometimes go against it?
