Cormac McCarthy, Al Gore and Walter Isaacson are among the winners of the third annual Quill Book Awards. McCarthy wins in the general fiction category for The Road, while Gore will take home the prize in history/current events/politics for The Assault on Reason, and Isaacson wins in the biography category for Einstein. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, first published more than 40 years ago, was voted the best audiobook of the year; HarperCollins's Caedmon Audio division released the classic on audio for the first time last August.

All 19 Quill winners will receive their awards at a ceremony to be held October 22 at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Readers can vote now through October 10 for the Book of the Year at www.thequills.org. A limited number of tickets to the Quills will be available to the public.
