I logged on and cast my vote for Jane Eyre. It was interesting that two of the Bronte sisters had books in the top 21. Even though critics acclaim Wuthering Heights as the better book, my money and heart has always been with "plain Jane Eyre." I even have my favorite film version of it: the one from 1983 with Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester and Zelah Clarke as Jane.
For my money, Timothy was my second favorite all-time Bond (no one can top Connery). He brought a passion and more important DANGER to the role that I just don't see in Pierce Brosnan (though he is better than Roger Moore). I think that Dalton, like Connery, did not suffer from television type-casting the way Moore and Brosnan have.
I also find it interesting some of the "American" novels that have made the top list, such as "Catch 22", "Catcher in the Rye", "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Little Women" and "Gone With the Wind."
