I didn’t think I was lit enough to vote, and now I’m sad I couldn’t have bumped up my eternal fave a few places :broken_heart:

For the stats fans…the list is 77% male, 23% female…which was suprising to me as I thought it’d be similar to or even better than the Actor list (65:35). I haven’t looked at all 424, but it felt like there was a more even split overall. I guess it’s what happens when your social board is predominantly male

Actually there are 140 women out of 414 in total :confused:

Carter is a massive black hole in my reading, need to rectify that, will try and pick up whatever tops this list (well, not DKWYAP. An actual book.)

So I know next to nothing about this guy…is this Under the Skin as in the film? Be interested in what it was like as a book…enjoyed it on screen very much but mainly down to tone and atmosphere, rather than plot or characterisation (big “book” based things).
