So people who read Donne also read: Armistead Maupin, Pauline Réage,
Elmore Leonard, Edgar Rice Burroughs (caught me out there) & John Rawls
(!!??), not to mention Donald E.Westlake & Chuck Palahniuk - who appears
so frequently, whoever you choose, that I think he financed the whole
thing on the principle of subliminal suggestion (his name is always on
the periphery). Apparently readers of Donne don't like other poetry, but
readers of Homer also read L.Ron Hubbard; while Heidegger readers shun
Hölderlin, they love Sterne & Damon Runyon, not to mention Albert Cammus
(sic). Who are these freaks (meaning both the devisers of this site and
the readers they interviewed )?
