Best quote ever about Ayn Rand's typing

(I cannot in good conscience call it writing):

"I hope you don’t have friends who recommend Ayn Rand to you. The fiction of Ayn Rand is as low as you can get re fiction. I hope you picked it up off the floor of the subway and threw it in the nearest garbage pail. She makes Mickey Spillane look like Dostoevsky." - Flannery O'Connor, in a letter to Maryat Lee, May 1960 (emphasis added).
