We asked you to vote for the best book you read in 2011, and you responded in record numbers. Now, the results are in. And, kudos to you, we might add.

But as Jay Z, whose inability to complete his infamous album Fly to Be Dry, long ago noted, “It’s really hard to rhyme with ‘galoshes.’” So, we’ll skip the fanfare, and take you straight to… your 2012 Puddly Award winners!
