AP Poll: Who is your favorite Catholic novelist of the 20th Century?

Click here to vote in this week's AP poll: Who is your favorite Catholic novelist of the 20th Century?

Clicking on a name below will bring up their Wikipedia information page, I've also linked to a couple of each author's most famous novels and a place to browse their other works. As always, please spread the word and you are encouraged to leave comments below! The poll will run until this Friday midnight.

I think it will be interesting to find out who St. Blogs reads when they're not online!
