Here's the 2017 list.

That's the fake chart. Pic related is the real one.

dropping some more

This one's real. I'll upload the 2016 and 2018 if you'd like, but this one's probably the best. Yeah, that other one that's fake is AWFUL. Some anon's perhaps well-intended attempt at getting lesser known works out there, when in reality the distortion kills.

2017's list was far better

>>12360275

think this one is the fake one, there was some drama about fake votes and deleting votes

I have never seen either of these discussed and they've never been on the chart before, that's very interesting.
Also this is the first top 100 since 2014 where the top 3 isn't some ordering of Ulysses, Moby Dick and Infinite Jest. Also more non fiction like Montaigne and Spengler. This is a very different chart to the ones before.
Is anyone going to make a visual like pic related?

it would be better if we do the list once every 5 years

Have there been any arangements for making another one of these for 2018? Only started browsing this year so would love to finally be able to join in.

When are we doing the 2018 one?

FUCK the mods for deleting the thread where we were trying to start a new /lit/ "top 100" for 2018. Pic related is 2017's list.

2018 is almost up. Is there going to be a top 100 this year? Pic related is last year's.

Infinite Jest is to /lit/ as ITAOTS is to /mu/ and NGE is to /a/, people constantly shit on them and they're huge memes but they're still overall liked by the board. Their creators are also all unique and extremely memeable personalities, which is made even more important by the fact that all three of the works are very personal. They all have their own quirks that lend themselves well to memes (Mangum's voice, the endnotes and the abstract bits of NGE) and so do their creators (wanting to fuck Anne Frank, being severely autistic and hating otaku, being severely autistic and desperately wanting to seem smart, also the bandana and the interview) They are all very polarising with tons of people who love and hate them, and are all 2deep4u. They are all 90s but this is not a requirement. They are still definitely all worth reading/listening to/watching even if only to see where your stance is.
If I had to pick one work that's closest to being /lit/'s meme work, it would be IJ, but I'd actually say the entire meme trilogy is a better fit, because as well as what I just said, Joyce and Pynchon are also very memeable (farts and reclusiveness) and so are Ulysses and Gravity's Rainbow specifically (all the references, 'the stink of shit floods his nose' etc.), they are also definitely 2deep4u.

Why is /lit/ so pleb?

Shit I posted the fake one, here's the real one

Is the Polling Anon still around? Who is making the 2018 top 100? Should we even have a 2018 top 100? Pic related is last year's.
