A list (not science fiction!)

Since Grace is tired of Ed's links to SF lists here is a list that should entertain us all: The top fifty cult books ever printed. Pretty amusing list with very little SF. Dune makes the list and how it is described made me laugh.

It would probably be a little more amusing if I'd ever read more than one of them. *sigh*

Hey, I'm not the only one that can post links to this blog. I challenge you to wow me.

I like the summary they gave of The Fountainhead...

"The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (1943)
Bewilderingly popular and extremely silly Nietzschean melodrama, in which Ayn Rand gives her mad arch-capitalist philosophy a run round the block in the person of Howard Roark, a flouncy architect. Loved by the kind of person who tells you selfishness is an evolutionary advantage, before stealing your house/lover/job. TM"
