Their board of authors' list has the usual suspects, but the top ten of the readers' list shows a great example of what produces passion among readers:
- 4 Ayn Rand books
- 3 L. Ron Hubbard books
- 2 books that are commonly assigned in high school
- The Lord of the Rings.
So that's what literati stuff the ballot-box for. I have to admit (at risk of losing my nerd card) I've never read The Lord of the Rings. But I probably should, as it's the only book in the top ten without religious/philosophical connections, and that the readers weren't forced to read.
