2006 Reader Awards: Best Book
March 1, 2006
Receiving nearly five times as many votes as its nearest competitor, J.K. Rowling's sixth installment of the Harry Potter series wins the landslide award as well as the Reader Award for Best Book released in 2005. After that, results bunch up a bit, with Nick Hornby's "A Long Way Down" taking second by just 4%, and so it goes down the rest of the list, with each remaining entry a few paces behind the one in front of it.
