the greatest writers who ever lived

I'm genuinely STUNNED that Jack Kerouac is on here, but J.D. Salinger is not. Well maybe Kerouac had more consistency but "Catcher" is one of the greatest novels ever written. Hands down. Well, I'll have to move my ass and read "On the Road" stat and I can tell you myself but please, Catcher is more historic, it's the first coming of age story that was highly acclaimed! Ugh. Bullshit. OH JUST KIDDING Y'ALLS, I FOUND SALINGER! THANK GOD! 

Whatever, the rest of my favorites are on here: SYLVIA! Morrison, Dickens, Dickenson.

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA HOLD THE FUCK UP! JODI FUCKING PICOULT IS ON HERE?!??!?!?!??! DON'T TELL ME NICHOLAS SPARK IS! SHE IS SHIT! NOT A TRUE LITERARY ARTIST! SHE IS BULLSHIT! PURE AIRPORT, FORMULAIC FLUFF MOTHERFUCKER! THIS IS A FUCKING OUTRAGE! 

But to be honest these results were yielded from a poll...fucking bullshit. These outrageous, dense fucking fools would probably say Angelina would make a better Scarlett than one of my favorite famous people in history VIVIEN LEIGH! People wouldn't know talent if it hit them right between the eyes!

My goal is to be on this list someday. I will show the world what TRUE literature is! All of Jodi Picoult's books are the fucking same! 

But yeaaaah Hemingway is number six! Represent! C.S. Lewis...eh. Okay, I hated that Narnia shit but I despise fantasy. I did enjoy Harry Potter though till it became highly overrated and downright exhausted. J.K. Rowling certainly deserves to be on this list though. She is clearly one of the most intelligent writers out there today. Thank GOD Danielle Steele isn't on this list! Amen to that!

Poe and Fitzgerald, I applaud you voters. I remember being enchanted and morbidly fascinated with "Tell Tale Heart" in middle school; and always yearning to reading "The Raven." He's a genius.

Fitzgerald...well Gatsby 'nuff said. The Beautiful and the Damned, This Side of Paradise, etc. Amazing. The most lyrical writer I've ever read.

TRUMAN CAPOTE AND HARPER LEE NEED TO BE ON HERE---FUCKING BULLSHIT!

Roald Dahl...really?! That's kid shit! Not true literature! 

Dr. Seuss though makes sense. Very tolerable.

Dante...yes. "The Inferno". A teacher I knew in high school praised that piece of literature.

Oops Lee is on here, but not Capote. SERIOUSLY!?!??!?!?!?!?! "In Cold Blood" was genius. And you cannot forget "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and the like. JESUS!
