In addition to receiving a list from the Modern Library's board, a poll of readers was taken. From the contents of this list, these readers appear to consist of a group of people whose reading habits are a little too alike, to say the least (personally, I suspect hacker involvement). I mean, come on, the top ten consists of four books by Ayn Rand (I didn't know she wrote four books)--including the top two--and three by L. Ron Hubbard (well, really twelve if you want to be technical about it)! Not to mention the eight appearances throughout by fantasy author Charles de Lint. I guess I'm just not as eclectically well-read as I once thought. (As always, the * denotes books I have read.) 1. ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand 2. THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand 3. BATTLEFIELD EARTH by L. Ron Hubbard 4. THE LORD OF THE RINGS by J.R.R. Tolkien 5. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee* 6. 1984 by George Orwell 7. ANTHEM by Ayn Rand 8. WE THE LIVING by Ayn Rand 9.
