In childhood, all books are books of divination, telling us the future." - Graham Greene We've had a lot of fun here, haven't we? I've had fun putting these posts from the poll <http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1790000379/post/1570051557.htm l?nid=3713> together. You've had fun predicting them and making crazy stats left and right (read Eric's round-up of the final statistics here <http://whatwereadandwhatwethink.blogspot.com/2010/04/breaking-down-comp leted-top-100.html> , if you've a chance).
