After 13 years of replies, going to post my own takes once in awhile.

@BMcGrewvy Just read that line to my 10 year old last night!

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@MikeWingerii Nope. Just bad.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@BBCWorld This was not the right framing of the events in this report. Try again, with some semblance of rational thought, or just shut down.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@AThinksAloud I agree, yet... Still have a soft spot for Delirious. "Investigate" was my jam.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@Fair_and_Biased Fools flock together.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@Borges1234x For pretty good reason... Les Miserables (the book, of course) is magnificent. Other iterations are good, but overrated.

The book is underrated.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@SpencerKlavan 172 voters in the poll, picked by The Guardian to be voters.

The results were never going to be anything close to objective Reality.

@nick_matau Anti-semites totally think slaughtering Jews could happen on accident, but really, at the same time, that it was probably deserved.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 It must be ragebait. There are single paragraphs in TBK that deserve higher praise than some of their top 20 books.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@AMCN28 @ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 Yeah, "as voted for by authors, critics and academics worldwide".

I wonder which authors, critics, and academics The Guardian opened up the poll to.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@larry3williams @JusBrierley @StephenCMeyer @skydivephil Haven't seen it yet - what was the main point that solidifies that for you in the debate?

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 Not to mention 15+/- other unworthy books...

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 What the !?@%
They put Lolita above THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@Jeff_Weimer @ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 How on earth did the book "make you feel terrible" by the time you got to the end? The first quarter maybe could do that. But not the rest.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@Borges1234x @ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 Which is ridiculous, considering a majority of the 68 on the list above it.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@VreelandZap @ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 It's a "fine" book. But worthy of the top 100? Lol.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@Jeff_Weimer @ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 Crime and Punishment? Did you... not finish the book?

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@ItsGoneAwry @jpodhoretz @Harry1T6 What a crazy list. I need to read some more of these - but it's hard to believe that some novels I have barely heard of ended up in the 1-5 spots above some of the most discussed works ever written.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@NJBeisner I've refrained from watching/commenting on her garbage for a couple months now.

But... wow. That is seriously twisted.

[Casey Arneson @ctarneson]

@BMcGrewvy @BrantleyVosler @jacqueboatman It's okay. No one can have all the right opinions.
