i09 are pretty much dopes when it comes to politics. Their "liberal dystopia" list was so much nonsense. ("1984 is a liberal dystopia! It's all about political correctness!" Uh, no.)
Members of really dull book clubs: You are entirely free to argue that Moore's books are worth reading. You must, like the geeks above, support your argument with evidence from the text.
Phooey. The books of hers I've read are in another state. :( I do like her, though, she has a distinctive style that feels fresh compared to most of the dull short stories in US/Canada about people having affairs or bad marriages and the way she structures her stories are usually unique. (There's one that covers a woman's relationship with her mother through small paragraphs describing one year and presented in reverse.) But, like I said in my blog post about this the only reason I wouldn't demand to read The Hobbit over Moore is because I'd assume all my friends already read The Hobbit.
