<< Amazing, though, that GR didn't even make the list, but Confederacy of 
 Dunces did.  That speaks volumes about the reading appetite of the critics 
 who were enlisted to vote.  I'll bet many "critics" haven't even read GR. >>

GR didn't qualify as within the last 25 years.  Dunces did because it was 
published years after it was written.  Agree that Dunces is hugely overrated and 
not very funny.
