Who's our Homer?
 
What author within the last 101 years will be looked back upon over 1,000 years from now as the great author of the time?

I used to press in the raised bumps on the cover, like it was some sort of obsessive need. I love a book that gives me something to do while I'm reading it...

Maybe no one. How many authors from each century since Homer have you ever heard of?

Vonnegut
Irving
Murakami


tbh, I thought this was going to be about the Simpsons and I rolled my eyes when I saw the title. But I am pleasantly surprised

Quite a few. It doesn't necessarily have to be a comparison to Homer, just in general who will be remembered.
