You have Shakespeare last and opie first, while I have Shakespeare first and him second-to-last above Straha. 

I still don't know how Shakespeare joined your pantheon of evil (aside suburbs, "fake emo," and Ralph Nader), but it really shows just how random your crusades are.

I doubt BRTD has even read Shakespeare.  "A dead white guy from a long time ago!  Boring!"

But Opebo is clearly second-best out of your list.

That's actually his basic argument, if I remember correctly.

I read plenty of his crap in high school.

Torie and Opie are my favorites, purely from a stylistic point of view.  I read them critically, as someone who writes professionally.  And I find them both to be consistently better than me.

Thanks VB.  You're not a bad writer yourself, though a vicious fascist.  I also find Shakespeare uninteresting. 

My list:

1) Modesty forefends!
2) Torie
3) Quentin Tarantino
4) Diablo Cody
5) Straha
6) William Shakespeare

(though I do not know who is 'Diablo Cody')

VB is an outstanding writer actually. I don't believe the substance is anything other than performance art however. Smiley
