My thought is that I don't care

I care enough about not caring that I took the time to tell you how much I don't care.

Is this about /lit/?
Anyway it's a good list, I had expected there to be much more trash, but all mentioned authors are reasonably readable if not great.

>no Huxley or Orwell

Mind you, I did skim the thing trying hard not to cringe at the writing, so I may have missed them.
