The magazine for men GQ from the United States of America has placed a rating of books to read. in the opinion of the editors, it is not worth wasting time. According to The USA Today, the entry of Holy Scripture to the twelfth place on this list provoked a loud scandal. The editorial staff of the magazine, who worked on compiling the rating, made the following explanation about the presence of Holy Scripture in it: “The Bible is highly valued by all people who seem to be guided by it in life, but in fact have not read it. Those who have read it know that there are some good passages in it, but otherwise this is definitely not the best work of a person. It is monotonous, contradictory, moralizing, stupid and malicious. ' In addition to the Bible, a number of works of world classics created by English and American authors also appeared in the rating of the books that deserve attention of the reader: 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by Mark Twain, 'The Catcher in the Rye' by Jerome Salinger, 'A Farewell to Arms' and 'The Old Man and the Sea 'Ernst Hemingway,' Dracula 'by Bram Stoker,' The Lord of the Rings 'by John Tolkien,' The Adventures of Gulliver 'by Jonathan Swift. The rating posted by the magazine caused outrage among Christians, which immediately splashed out on social networks. Many of the commenters reported that they would no longer buy GQ. And one user wrote: “Is there anyone on the planet who cares what GQ says about literature? I would like to meet such a person. And pray for him. '
