I'm sure you've all seen the `Century's 100 Great Novels' list put out by Random House by now, and as the fat comic book store owner on the Simpsons said `I was on the Internet registering my disgust within minutes'! `Catcher', number *64*!!! I couldn't believe it (for one horrible moment I thought it hadn't made it on to the list at all!) - just ridiculous. On the upside, it was very nice to see Nabokov and Fitzgerald achieve such high placings, but I honestly can't believe anyone could think `Brave New World' is a superior work to `Catcher'. In my edition, Huxley himself freely admits it's not one of his better works. Deeply strange. Let alone the several notable omissions - Pynchon, Atwood, Patrick White ... who makes these lists anyway ???
