As we told you in March, The Book Magazine, a quarterly pulication launched this year, ran an online poll to select the greatest living British writers. J.K. Rowling tops the list, with three times the number of votes as the second-place author, Terry Pratchett. Others in the top 20 include A.S. Byatt, Salman Rushdie, Harold Pinter, Kazuo Ishiguro and John La Carre.
Congratulations, Jo! :)
