This week I visited Random House’s web site, www.randomhouse com, where their list of the 100 best 20th century English-language novels Is posted.
The publisher also has graciously created a place for readers to react tc the controversial list. The day I visited, there had already been 1.324 postings,
most of which seemed to come from angry Ayn Rand fans. Then, there was this gem...
... which read, in part, Tm not an Ayn Rand fan. I've never even read any of her works. But witn so many commenting on the love of her work, I'm
sorting to question why she wasn’t included."
"No Gone With the Winffl" the posting continued. “I've never read that, but it is one of the greatest pieces of American literature ever published."
To the writer of this message. Congratulations! You've just won a job as a Flagpole writer The job comes with a complimentary box of exclamation
points and tickets to Lethal Weapon 4 We'll see you in the office next Monday.
