While we're at it, why don't we change the New York Times book list to exclude Harry Potter, and let's take Bill Gates off the Rich List because he made his money with software which let's face it isn't a real product. And we can take Mount Everest off the highest mountain list because it doesn't start at sea level and change the result of a cricket match because we don't like the umpire. Yeah. Lists and comparisons are like accounting. They're either honest or not, and once they are dishonest they don't tell you anything useful. Bah, humbug. |
Actually, the NY Times did exactly that. It created a children's literature list to move Harry Potter books off of the main fiction list -- which it dominated.
And given how many adults read those books, it made as much sense as this rant from Kombo.
