This is it…I have an overly complex and clunky excel spreadsheet ready to go (ah, the romance), collating lists from 45 (!) DiSsers who between them nominated 424 different writers (comprising authors, poets, playwrights, graphic novelists, non-fiction writers, songwriters…and more) which has now been whittled down by myself to 100.
Even from just my own perspective, this is not a very conventional list…
First entry coming soon.
No. 100
Homer
0 voters
Beginning with one for our younger readers…
Homer didn’t write them.
Because no one would willingly read him outside of school?
(safety wink)
I like the one where he’s the union rep.
Oh mordge it has happened again
0 voters
Jazz Odyssey
good to see people getting their fake entries in to make themselves look smart straight off the bat
No. 99
Denton Welch
0 voters
From doing this I learned that there are a lot of writers
surprising that there’s more than one denton welch fan on here…
or maybe @mrmrongov placed him extremely highly?
Can we do lists now?
100 Homer
…
13 Chuck Palahniuk
love to be someone with an english literature degree who has already not heard of 50% of the list
I think the early rounds would benefit from this…
