The Modern Library has produced its list of the
top 100 nonfiction books. The Virtue of Selfishness finished first and my book More Guns, Less Crime just made the top 10. The list has a decidedly conservative/libertarian slant. Still pretty neat, though I wouldn't rank my book above such classics as Thomas Sowell's Conflict of Visions (71) or PJ O'Rourke's Parlament of Whores (72) or Eric Hoffer's The True Believer (20) or certainly F.A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom (16) or Milton and Rose Friedman's Free to Choose (14).

Congratulations. Well deserved.
You didn't rank it ahead of those others. The readers did.
I suspect the reason is that even in the most denial adept persons, deep in their psyches they know something is wrong with all they have been taught and are finally looking for answers to possibly turn around the failures of the nanny state.
Congratulations, Dr. Lott! Well deserved indeed!
