Scott, I feel I must warn you: failure to engage in a polite
discussion on this topic may give people the impression that you don't
read. That could, in turn, cause people to conclude that your world
view is parochial, shallow, or even uninformed.

We'd hate to see that happen, wouldn't we?

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is number 1? Really? Number one?

Did the publisher of this list die in 1940 or something?

I don't think that the list is meant to be read as rank-ordered.

It's kind of hard to put Dan Brown on a list like this as he hasn't
withstood the test of time.

Nor will he.

On the other hand, Nikos Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ
does. It still kills me that Brown ripped off this book almost
completely.

Funny coincident: I had to leave at a brutally early time to make a
flight for a conference yesterday (4:00 AM) and I forgot to bring a
book. I did happen to have a copy of some "classic" literature on my
iPod touch and 20,000 Leagues was among the list so I started reading it
again -- I had read it many years ago, but had even forgotten my
impression of the book.

I certainly wouldn't rank it in the top 20, but I admit I'm enjoying it
quite a bit, especially when I consider when it was written.

no Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse 5
no Tom Wolfe, The Painted Word
no Kerouac, Desolation Angels
no Kesey, One Flew Ove the Cuckoo's Nest
no Harper, to Kill a Mockingbird
no Steinbeck, and Mark Twain barely made it

Hey, 2pid, I now realize how limiting this list must be. Clyde and
hophead have shown there are too many exclusions on a list of only
100, and one that is slanted toward "all-time" versus the more recent
ones. I can see a trendy, "with it" guy like you isn't going to be
bothered with old guys Chaucer or Dickens!

Here is a list with more than 2,000 books on it, all from the 20th
century. And to warm the cuckolds of your heart, it represents the
"will of the people"! That's right, 2pid, it was VOTED on by people
who read, and probably read a lot!

So you can certainly find a few on this list that you've read in order
to start a polite discussion, yes?

How do you feel those stack up against Shakespeare or Dickens?

Anyway, I posted a list of the top 2236 books of the 20th century so
that you won't get heart palpatations. I'm sure those are on there.

That was my point. What's popular at a given time may not be as great
as we think it is. We'll know more about that in 50-75 years.

Agreed. It's the same way with film...it takes a generation to know
which movies will become classic and which ones will fade away. For
example, Chariots of Fire is close to being completely forgotten
along with other Best Picture winners as Out of Africa, Kramer vs.
Kramer, The Last Emperor and A Man for All Seasons. On the other hand,
who in the '90s knew that The Big Lebowski would become so beloved and
studied?
