Bad words: I'm a bit late on this one, but it's so good I can't pass it up: the conservative weekly Human Events Online has published the "Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Century." While the list is worth a few good laughs—the brain-curdling Communist Manifesto ranks number one—the list includes some queer inclusions that seem to pinpoint conservatives' greatest enemies: feminists, environmentalists, antiracists, evolutionists. Among the list: Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique and Nietsche's Beyond Good and Evil, plus honorable mentions On Liberty by John Stuart Mill (!), Darwin's Origin of the Species, Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth, and Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
