I guess if you were interested in crazy people this is the book for you.

I am a sucker for a top 5, top 10, top 100 list, whatever. Because of the discussion and arguing and fallout that inevitably follows.

So Time Magazine made a top 100 novels list. And then a friend of mine passed on this link that compiles one-star reviews from Amazon.com about some of these top 100 books. I laughed out loud on some of them.

The review of Gone With The Wind was priceless. I don't even like that book, but the review was so nonsensical that I wanted to jump to Margaret Mitchell's defense. I don't even think I know what book that reviewer read. I am going to think about that and laugh for the rest of the day.

That reviewer's right about Kerouac, though. Hipsters, put down your bongs.

Woo! <tear>

So, my vote goes to the reviewer of A Clockwork Orange...cuz rape and murder really tick me off too. :-P
