TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Two things: First, I agree To Kill A Mockingbird is a very powerful book. In the interest of paring down the list I was following Sig's advice and eliminating all the books that I had read recently that were on "every list ever". I almost started axing Vonnegut, but I haven't read any of those in about 3 years.

Secondly, I said drop the damn zombie book. If I had to choose only one, well fuck, drop WWZ. It was a good read, but by no means one of the best on the list, and not nearly as important/groundbreaking/influential as Mockingbird.

Adios

OK

WWZ, Lord of the Flies, MArtian Chronocles and Mockingbird have come off and back on.

BUT, that leaves us not much closer to 100.

Also, the last list i posted is the latest.

No number = removed.

Also I know the list came from the other thread but alan moore was poorly represented here, if a work of his was to be included I would say it should be Miracle man. It is Alan Moore's best work and it is the best superhero story ever told and would be in a slim few for best graphic novel of all time.

Promethia is ok, V is good, watchmen is great, miracle man is a cut above the rest.

Better than Promethea? I'll have to read it then.

Far less mysticism, way more bleak horror at the reality of the divide between the masses and the supermen.
