The final winner of last week's Great Wednesday Compare (George Eliot Vs Joseph Conrad), with a final score of 6-3, was George Eliot!
While Joseph Conrad did get two votes last week, I was more than a little surprised that those were based on his looks rather than his writing ability. I've never said how to judge the authors, as I think that's half the fun, so that's not my issue with Conrad's votes. My issue is that he looks like Mr. Angelino from Three's Company, and, I'm sorry ladies, I just don't get the attraction. As for his writing, well, I haven't read anything by him yet, but Heart of Darkness is on my must read eventually list.
This week, we get a more contemporary competitor.

He looks handsome but I haven't read any of his books.
So...
Eliot again.
George Eliot.
David Mitchell.
I loved his Black Swan Green and admired Cloud Atlas.
Well I did like Cloud Atlas but I think George Eliot's work has more staying power. Put me down for George/Mary please.
Hey, Mary Ann, what's your game now? Can anybody play?
George Eliot.
George Eliot for me!
