I've never been one of those who feels they "should" read this book, "should" watch this film or "should" listen to this album, because it is considered to be a "classic". I don't get people who will listen to a record over and over again until it "sinks in". I'll play an album once or twice and if it hasn't even started to gain my interest after that, then fuck it. I'm not going to try it again every couple of years because others say it's a great album. I'll listen to stuff I like, not what people say I should like.

And I know where talking about books not records, but it's the same principle.


I wouldn't read any of them because people say I should, either.


I seriously doubt anyone would!

None

And what the fuck is a barely literate moron like Ayn Rand doing on that list?
Moorcock, Moorcock, Michael Moorcock, you fervently moan.
