1961 was a tie. Think I forgot to vote for the bell jar here.

Tons of ties in the early 20th century, mostly because attendance was such that often enough the winner(s) would have two votes.
Thought it weird that Pynchon went underdiscussed itt, always thought of him as an ILB fave.

I ended up voting for V. Cat's Cradle is one of the Vonneguts I haven't read, and I felt like my other options I read too far back in the past, though I was definitely close to putting my vote in for The Bell Jar. Of the ones I have read more recently, well, I had high expectations for Hopscotch, but... let's just say they were not met.
