It's the Modern Library list of best novels. "The Board" is a committee, whereas "the readers" were online voters.

Scientology and Objectivists...two cults that lull the stupid. Nothing is as annoying as a stupid person who thinks they are intelligent.

The reader's list makes me want to punch babies.

Oh christ, they are some trashy, trashy novels.
I read most of them in high school, so you don't have to.

Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century is a pretty good antithesis to to English bias, if you want.

I think "The sound and the fury" belongs at number one.

As for reader's opinions, who gives a shit? My mailman just told me that "Independence day" was the best movie ever made. Are you seriously going to count that moron's vote?

As odd, and un-democratic as it sounds, you really do need to just pay attention to the smart opinions, and hope the dumb ones die in some kind of fire.
