The Anti Death League by Kingsley Amis is only 14389th on The Greatest Books of All Time site, which means that the algorithm there may start being irritating for yours truly, given that Magister Ludi Kingsley Amis is my favorite author, and this is not even the first time when I find one of the books I admire at the bottom, or not even there; for a few thousand reviews, including about thirty on the magnum opera of Kingsley Amis https://realinibarzoi.blogspot.com/2025/09/do-you-have-any-feedback.html
