We’re using the editors and readers lists to supplement our original list. It’s amazing what lengths people will go to in an effort to avoid Nicomachean Ethics. The husband vividly remembers the brouhaha that arose when the alleged ballot-box stuffing happened (I say alleged because surely someone, somewhere would have chosen those titles).

P.S. – I was wrong; Rand won first place.

I was really shocked by how well Rand and Hubbard did on the list. Later, I was informed that the list was suspect, and for just that reason. Although Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead appear on other lists, there is no Hubbard on any of my other best books lists, including the science fiction list produced by Phobos.
