I don't think the reader's list is dominated by "people" In general, so much as followers of cults, specifically Ayn Rand's Objectivism and also L. Ron Hubbard's Scientology.

>> No.870358

Board List is good, People's List legitimately surprised me with Cormac McCarthy and Ray Bradbury being present. Although for the most part it was the shit tier stuff I was expecting.

Both lists are by complete fucktards
