I understand why they might overlook genre specific writers like Patrick O'Brian and John D. MacDonald though I think they were two of the 20 finest writers of the 20th century. But where are William Mansfield and David McCullough? There are four Dashiell Hammet's on there and he was not a better writer than any of the writers above.

Like I said, it's not the best list, but it is still fun...
