Is the Quality of MusicBanter Decreasing?

storymilo · 11-03-2009, 06:41 PM

I think it would be pretty easy to get a musicbanter top 100 books. It probably wouldn't be easy to get a 100 greatest books, but if we use a nomination system like I suggested we could make a list. I don't think anyone will nominate the Bible or Oh The Places You'll go, but if they do we'll just see if people vote for them

I'm not talking about different genres. We are talking purely about the differences between a book written for children and one written for adults.

Why the hell is it so difficult to understand?

Story, are there any five year olds here? No.

You really think that most adults, not to mention teenagers are going to vote for Doctor Seuss over Tom Clancy? No. But that certainly doesn't make the latter better. Cultural impact is really the only thing that one can compare between books like these, nothing more. And what do you mean people wouldn't vote for the Bible? By cultural impact alone, it's the most important book ever by a longshot. People are willing to kill for it. That's important.

I'm an adult and I would definitely vote for Dr. Seuss over Tom Clancy.

yes but Dr. Seuss has written MANY timeless classics. Tom Clancy has yet to write anything worth reading.
