I'm waiting for the poll after Far From the Madding Crowd, with Julie Christie and Alan Bates and Terence Stamp is re-released or shown on the television. There's one that can knock off Austen and Bronte (the both of them) together.

Perhaps Brits took to reading Mockingbird after learning that Bruce Willis named his daughter Scout?
