Agree wholeheartedly. These kinds of lists and the concerted effort and energies spent making them, along with the mindset driving this sort of thing, spook me more than anything contained in the books. Besides, comments like this about Nietszche's 'Beyond Good and Evil': "The Nazis loved Nietszche" is about as shallow a commentary as I've ever read on Nietszche's thought. Makes one wonder at the caliber of conservative 'thinkers' involved in this endeavor.

"The Nazis loved Nietszche"

Yes. The Nazis loved Wagner, too, so his music must be bad.

Read The Ominous Parallels by Peikoff and then come back and make that statement.

So, you throw down the book review section of the paper in disgust, saying "How dare they!!!!"

What redeeming value did Mao's book have anyway?
