>>10506613
Fake. Real chart attached.

>>10506613
J R only got six votes. Holy shit you guys are plebs. Kys selves

>>10506676
Looks good OP. There is some compression on the covers though. Don't know if you used too small images, or if that's just whatever compression you used to make the list image.

Also sad that I was the only one to vote for Frankenstein.

>>10506676
Damn this is fucking gay look at all the chink shit lmao. Who woulf believe this is real rofl.

>>10506663
Stoner is really popular on /lit/, it doesn't surprise me. Definitely /lit/-core that people aren't likely to have already read in High School or AP classes.

>>10506655
>>10506660
This board deserves fucking nothing.

>>10506676
Nice vote counts sweetie.

>>10506688
I compressed to upload the draft. All the covers are at least 200*300. I haven’t read Frankenstein yet.

>>10506613
OP arbitrary deleted votes. If you look in the "Unique" tab of his responses, you'll see he just deleted al ot of votes (probably cause it had books he didn't like) and only counted votes with books he likes. This poll also allows multiple submissions so OP could pretend he was only deleting "repeat votes" instead of counting the poll by real anons.

This poll is illegitimate.

>>10506613
Seems accurate to the board.... drop 1984 that book will get ridiculed when posted, and move up a Greek
>>10506676
This is a better list but collected works is a meme and this board doesn't read Shakespeare for some fucking reason

>>10506719
he just deleted all the votes that were gay as shit, whose gonna cry about that? you gay or something? lmao.

Where's Culture of Critique? It got a lot of votes, enough for top 30 at least.

>>10506719
Yeah and thank fuck for that or CoC would be at the top

>>10506725
CoC posters (you) included are faggots, but the answer you want is >>10506719

>>10506719
more like your /pol/ is illegitimate

>>10506725
>>10506728
Anyone read that book?

>>10506719
>This poll also allows multiple submissions
Yeah this was pretty dumb. Really easy to cheat if you’re not a moron who votes for the exact same books over and over.

>>10506723
so it's just another discord list, got it

>>10506728
he deleted a lot of non-CoC votes too. For example OP seems to really hate anything but >female authors and >minority authors

>>10506740
even if he ordered the top 21 authors so that the first letters of their first names spelled out "MARBLE CAKE ALSO THE GAME" this would be a more legitimate 4chan/lit/ list than anything we've got all year.

>>10506758
hello OP. do you ever get tired of samefagging?

>>10506719
surveyfag is a self appointed tastemaker who wants to attention whore on /lit/
the chart is just him egotripping
taking charts seriously means you're a redditor and need to go back

>>10506732
polling faggot is bluepilled and cant into the most important work of the last 50 years

No Rupi Kaur? I'm assuming it was because she didn't get enough votes and not because you didn't like it, like you did with CoC.

>>10506778
neither can /lit/, apparently. you gotta really work if you want CoC to truly be accepted by the board. its gonna take longer than you'd like.

>>10506613
I like it, it’s actually very representative of what gets discussed here, even if I don’t like some of the choices

>>10506793
the entire impetus of this chart is to be a democratic representation of /lit/ but if polling faggot isbjust going to arbitrarily remove votes it's just another discord chart

>>10506801
are you talking to yourself? did you mean to quote me?

>>10506613
It all checks out, even if its a bit blurred. I imagine that's just cause it isn't final yet. also I don't expect this but it would be fun to have the top meme in a corner somewhere.

>>10506811
yeah, or the top three at the bottom cut off by a separator/division

>>10506804
CoC is accepted enough for it to be voted into the top 20 spots but it got removed

it's not /lit/ who doesn't accept CoC it's pollfaggot

>>10506816
no one on lit reads that book dude. it was a forced meme that got attention because people fell for the bait when someone placed it next to the sacred trilogy. It's just a scandal, it's a meme that no one reads—a lesser IJ, because at least people read and talk about that book.
can't you be happy it made the meme chart?

Speaking of the memes, I'm sad I didn't think of yes, YES (Nael) when I submitted my votes.

>>10506801
are you upset that Winnie the Pooh did not make it despite it being spammed hundreds of times?

>>10506830
this... this injustice will not go unanswered!

>>10506830
the chart allowed multiple votes this was exactly what I expected to happen
the whole thing is illegitimate. it's just a way foe the discord to make a new chart and replace their old chart

>>10506843
its legit, trust me

>>10506843
If that were true The Opposing Shore would have made it. /lit/cord eats Gracq's cum.

Since autism runs really deep on this board, I added a sheet to demonstrate which votes I deleted on Unique. It's pretty obvious they're not legit.

In terms of CoC, there was a bigger reaction against it than for it. I ran a second straw poll which was fairly decisive too. pic related might help some of you feel better though.

>>10506791
Literally three votes.

>>10506739
Believe it or not, I identify more with privacy nerds than agenda posters.

>>10506811
>>10506813
I want to be able to put this with the other charts. I made the image at >>10506826 with the meme answers.

>>10506843
I removed dupes and cleaned up obvious spam. Its vote count and the books picked seem as expected after a week too.


Once again, not everything is a psyop

>>10506857
lol good job OP.

>>10506857
why do you respond to the shitposter who obviously does not care

>>10506857

>>10506791
>>10506857
Only 3 votes? I'm disappointed in my fellow anons.

>>10506613

>>10506613

I wish it would include Mount Analogue

Good work OP, you can feel the zeitgeist of real /lit/ and it isn't fucking CoC

I got the name of the good Mr MacDonald wrong, I have updated the chart to reflect that.

No idea

Oh thanks, somehow I missed that. Carry along lads

>>10506613
nice list

>>10506960
Still a rigged list, with or without the CoC guy.

A sincere thanks OP. This seemed really exhausting. The last chartmaker couldn't have gone as far as you (and in fact he didn't).

The discordfags are wavering. They were always pathetic, but that's not news.

>>10507142

fair enough. I still don't see the same motive here as from the last one though. This list is more of the same shit from the past few years, it isn't a jarring departure like the discord one was.

>>10507206
They'd keep going. They're just having fun, too. Don't sweat it.

>>10507328
you think you're real clever dont you?

>>10507219
it's all the same. every few months some faggot from the discord gets it in his head to do a poll and they shit up the board for a few weeks, rinse and repeat.

here's a hot tip: discord did the 2016 poll too.

>>10507356
They absolutely dont do it every few months. They've done it once for sure.

>>10507386
including this one the discord has done the past 3 charts. theyre all rigged by whatever they think is funny at the time. "board culture" has been dead for years.

>>10507386
>>10507408
there were also multiple aborted attempts at making a "real" 2017 chart after their first 2017 chart, usually cause they got called out so they deleted some of the OPs/mods deleted them

for example -
>>/lit/thread/S9554473

there are plenty more fi you dig through the archive. charts have been completely delegitimatized since discord invaded 4chan

>>10507336
Well, at least I know how to change the file name when I save an image from a compromising source.

>>10507408
I think you're right.

>>10507408
board culture died after the imgur invasion

Man, last chart and /pol/ through the_donald did really shit this board beyond recognition.
To think there was a time when the bad shitposting was Pynchon posting.

>>10507408
But this one is demonstrably not rigged.

>>10507507

The Pale King got more than 6 votes, you did not add pale king and the pale king you brainlet

Is "platonic dialogues" just a tally of all of the votes for any of Plato's works?

>>10506613
Cheers anon, appreciate the effort you put into this.


Also, somebody should post the 2016 chart so we can check which books have not made it this year and which ones are risisng in popularity

>>10506613
Hey, OP. One of those Hyperion votes (mine) is for the Hölderlin book, not the trashy sci-fi novel

>>10508290
It’s probably fair to assume they all were. I’m not familiar with German poetry, and the sci fi one filled the front page of google.

>>10508299
Can't speak for the rest of them. I should have specified but I was not aware that there was a popular novel with the same name

>>10508348
I wasn’t aware there was anything of that name that wasn’t a Marvel hero. I just think it’s more likely to be German poetry than shitty sci-fi.

>>10506857
Fake list is better

>>10506857
Happy that all of my choices have made the list. On the other hand this also probably means that I am a full blown /lit/ drone

you know what, i dont care about this years chart. /lit/ has always been a shithole and i was not expecting any better from you pathetic fucks

When will you post the final image?

>>10506613
Some of the covers (moby dick, iliad, isolt, against nature, recognitions, etc) are kind of hard to read I'd say switch em.
Also as much as I love shitting on /lit/ pls change the Odyssey cover

>>10506960
Misspelled Dantes surname

Cather in the Rye
Siddhartha
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Hypersphere
The Odyssey

>>10508290
>>10508348
were you
>moby dick, infinite jest, book of the new sun, hyperion, one hundred years of solitude, culture of critique
or
>lolita, blood meridian, book of the new sun, crying of lot 49, hyperion, bugs

either way it's plausible for either of these to be for the sci fi novel since they also list wolfe. also OP >>10508299 you need to delist hyperion because one person voted hyperion and fall of hyperion, and the tallies see that as two votes for hyperion.

>>10506613
The Illlllliad

>>10509071
You are genuinely a pathetic loser.

>>10509909
Ok. I wasn’t being very diligent at #100.

>>10509957
The amount of debate over Lolita covers has been incredible. I think mine is more recognisable, and I haven’t seen an agreed upon best cover.

>>10509921
Already fixed.

>>10506857
It's weird seeing the Bible on there. Not that I don't consider it a literary work, it just seems like required reading to begin with, and takes the spot away from another book that somebody might not know.
