Yes, the Moon may be a Harsh Mistress, but she has been tamed as the third best book of all time as determined by Sluggites.

Did you mean Dianetics by L Ron Hubbard? If so, sorry but it's a little late for new nominations.

Or were you referring to the company in Michigan? In that case, I don't get it.

Why would you want to keep WoT alive? Robert Jordan is doing that well enough on his own, unfortunately.
