A tie. Night had quite the lead when I looked last night. The Little Mermaid really jumped ahead.

I'm a bit confused as to why the MacDonald work has a date implying it's from the 1960s. MacDonald was a precursor to the Inklings (C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, etc.) and wrote in the late 1800s. Can anybody fill me in on the use of the more modern date?
Think that's just a typo, as according to GR it was first published in 1864, not 1964. I'll edit the date.
No problem. Looks like we have a leader emerging with The Little Mermaid. Though plenty of time left yet.

I've read most of the front runners so I'm going to preread Mermaid as well. It should be interesting because I have the movie memorized so I'll go into compare/contrast mode.
