This list from the Huffingtonpost of literary one-hit wonders has me feeling contentious. "Hit" seems to be a poor way to judge books, whose influence can build slowly over time. Many good books are shoved under the rug to make this list work. Salinger's Glass novels, Fitzgerald's Babylon Revisited, and Heller's God Knows, just to name a few. Read it and weep.

That's terrible...like trying to push the literary world a step closer in the direction of VH1.
