randomhouse.com — Take a look at this list from Random House's web site. I think the Ayn Rand Foundation and the Church of Scientology did some ballot-box stuffing for the Readers' List.

    #4 THE LORD OF THE RINGS by J.R.R. Tolkien
    wtf?
    spam+
  • SgtAl, on 05/13/2008, -1/+4Same way they keep Diaretics on the best seller list. When you have thousands of obedient servants at your disposal you can get a lot of things done.
  • SgtAl, on 05/13/2008, -1/+2Also I just noticed that they got that hack L. Ron in the top 10 three times. #3, #9, & #10. Someone at Random House needs to look at filtering out the spam votes.
  • Icouldbe, on 05/13/2008, -1/+1Could this be any more obvious?

    The funny (sad) thing is that Miscavige will present to Scientologists as proof of how wonderful and influential Hubbard is to all his fellow Scilons.
  • fivo7, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1"this is what scientologists actually believe"
  • Lenbot, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1That has got to be the funniest thing I have seen in a long time! and to think that it's random house!
