/lit/ - Literature

time to post it on reddit for karma and 1 million views :DDDDDD
also looking forward to the 3 months of genre-fiction threads made by retards

Just the image on it's own. Should be less compressed.

>That Ulysses cover

Pic related is the other OC I did.

>>10516469
As I've said before, at least Redditors don't try and join in /clg/. The rest of the board is dead to me after this ordeal. Especially that one autist who samefagged 20+ times each thread.

I'm not posting with this trip again, if I become a masochist over the next 8 months I'll be back, but under a different name.

red x's for read!

>>10516535
No, it isn’t the best books of all time, it literally is your favorite books. That’s why I don’t understand why little baby bitches like you are complaining to the surveyor about book placement. It is individual taste.

>>10516729
Seeing how exhausting this chart thing was, it doesn't seem likely that another chart will happen again. It may be your guys' last chance to intellectually masturbate with one of these

Since i came here i like to read things you dont like or arent popular here desu senpai

>tfw i voted for the only 5 books ive read in the last 6 years

>>10516729
how did you not read any of these in school? 1984? count of monte cristo? animal farm? lord of the flies? catcher in the rye? dorian grey? fahrenheit 451?

Why would you purposely leave off coc? Now it's no more legitimate than fake one.

>>10516472
Why are the fonts so blurry?

What's even the point, if every year is the same?

>>10517069
One hundred years from now tastes will have changed, and if we have a chart for every year between now and then, then we will have a good record of the evolution of lit's top 100.

>>10517016
I fixed it for you.

>>10516472
72/100 here

>>10516916
None of those books were assigned to me if you can believe it. I was even in AP English. In Junior year I had a terrible teacher and we only read nonfiction. In Senior year we read a lot of plays, mostly Shakespeare but Oedipus too, Frankenstein, Toni Morrison and so on

>>10516472
Meh, the list is alright. At least there are a couple of fresh books in there, but a shame there's not as much French lit as the meme chart that was spammed here for the past six months. Please correct the spelling errors and upload a less blurry picture.

>Deleting books like CoC and JBP.

Can we have a re-do without a fag OP?

>>10517355
votes were overwhelmingly in favor of leaving your dumb /pol/ memes off the chart http://www.strawpoll.me/14776329/r

>>10517355
And maps of meaning only got one actual vote, though 8 voted for it in the best meme category.

Because of the text, the numbers and the tops of the books don't line up. Look at numbers 32, 33, 34, and others. I'm triggered. Absolutely disgusting.

>tripfag cries over something no one asked him to do.

Do you guys never thought why IJ was number juan for so long?
Fucking newfags I swear, I want my pynchonposting back.
Why did everyone suddenly took it so seriously now? is it because of reddit fame? when someone posted the chart on imgur?
I don't even remember the board being this fast and having a fucking gay ass /sfg/ and this much /pol/posting.

>>10517355
>Deleting books like CoC
We reddit now. Wrongthink must be censored. Now we have two illegitimate 2017 charts.

>>10516916
Who the hell read Monte Cristo in its entirety in school?

>>10516461
I'm still a top 100 pleb. I just read Stoner and couldn't put it down. Finished it in one day in two sittings. (What the fuck was Edith's problem?) What should I read next?

>>10516652
>Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnameable
Fucking based. Can we boost this to the top 10 by the end of this year?

>>10516729
What next?

>>10516916
>>10517139
This for me too, so I missed a lot of shit. My Honors English classes in high school were Lord of the Flies, Siddhartha, 1984, and Animal Farm for freshman and sophomore year if I remember. Junior year was plays, Les Miserables and the greeks (we even had a guest speaker come in to orally tell parts of the Odyssey. Pretty cool) Senior year we just wrote a research paper on a work of literature. Mine was on Death of a Salesman. I wanted to do Invisible Man, but we actually had a black student in class, so he got dibs on that.

Why is the OP such a whiny faggot

>>10517608
Is it literature? No? Okay, then fuck off.

>>10518026
>Is it literature?
yes

>>10516461
>2017
>MOBY DICK IS 1ST

HAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD YOU FUCKING CLOWNS

daily reminder OP rigged votes, allowed multiple submissions and then told his discord lackeys to ballot stuff, and arbitrarily removed books and votes he didn't like

>>10518073
That explains the butthurt. It's always that kind of person who becomes incensed over other people's "ingratitude" aka their pathological desire for control fails to come to fruition and they lose all interest.

>>10516472
fucking pynchonfags

Not a bad list, overall. I've read half of them, so more work to do.

>>10517526
>Things change over time
Wow, who would have thought that an anonymous forum would be different after two years.

>>10516642
This is a fake chart created by the cretins in the "/lit/" Discord server.

The Discord is populated by a bunch of posers who'd rather name drop entry level bullshit than have a legitimate discussion. The general chat was completely dead after a few exchanges of childish namedropping so I proceeded to make a lighthearted shitpost to stir discussion. For daring to discuss visual novels and anime in the general chat, and doing some basic trolling (god forbid you joke around on a 4chan server) I was banned. A word of advice, don't call it a general chat if you're restricting the type of discussion to literature you idiots. Especially don't do this if you already have a literature channel. You may also want to consider allowing for someone to play devil's advocate instead of banning them, that way more people will actually engage in a discussion. Oh yes, let's not forget the (female) mod dick sucking. That one never gets old does it? Overall I was very disappointed with the level of discourse on what is supposed to be one of the most elite boards on 4chan. It seemed to be populated solely by teenagers, who were in it for the e-cred. There wasn't a single person of value (aside from the lovely Kurikame#05) to be found.

What a bunch of phonies.

>>10518337
>female mod
I hope that's part of the shitposting. If not, the /lit/ discord is doomed.

>>10518371
No, I'm not joking. Her name is Mal. All of a sudden she asked me about Thucydides heavily implying she was going to ban me if I didn't give her a satisfactory answer, so of course I chose to give her a non serious reply. Then another admin chimed in and said I had five messages to "make it up to her" or they'd ban me. Powertripping.

>>10518371
join and find out babygirl

>>10518384
No thanks. I'm on fucking erp and pony discord channels and the /lit/ one sounds more embarrassing if >>10518383 is true.

>>10516461
>>10516472
>>10516497
Thank you, SurveyFag. I know it's a ton of work to make OC, and I really appreciate all the effort you put in to this.

>>10518383
makes you miss the days of shinytat

>>10518393
It is 100% true you can join and use the search function for Thucydides to see the exchange. My posts were likely deleted but you can still see it on their end.

>>10516652

I hope you're not implying OP's list had any sort of 'legitimate discussion' to it.

>>10518520
No, these lists are stupid and prone to samefag voting anyway. It's Reddit tier. I just wanted an excuse to post this really.

>>10518460

Oh the people in the Discord just banned an innocent guy for being me. After someone posted this >>10518497 what a bunch of idiots.

>>10518460
>a bunch of posers who'd rather name drop entry level bullshit than have a legitimate discussion
agree, the evidence is in how the rigged 2017 list is still shit
>don't call it a general chat if you're restricting the type of discussion to literature
>wah wah I was banned from a literature chat room for talking about weeb shit instead of literature

Apologies to anyone who got banned for getting confused with the guy who came and just spammed memes and then told us to ban him

>>10518497
>>10518460
lmao you retard, I guarantee Nat is smarter than you

>>10518529
>>10518537
i posted the image and got suspected by the obligatory mod that was bullied in school but no one banned me guys

>>10518460
You got banned for spamming pictures of your dick

>>10516472
Great job, OP, now post it on imgur so we can get 500,000 views and flooded with r/books for the next half year.

>>10518537
Embarrassing.

wait so was this list actually polled by someone in litcord? I was pretty sure that was just retard false flag shitposting.

>>10518542
Are they smart enough to root out my real account? I
>>10518550
Not me. I was just the guy talking about visual novels.

The gay ass lit discord banned for daring to do Trump memes

>>10518537
>Invite people from 4chan
>ban them when they do 4chan things
So are you just sad that daddy moot never let you be a mod? Or are you a newfag that wishes 4chan would change to suit your tastes?

FUCK LIT DISCORD YOU PRETENTIOUS NERDS WHO CAN'T TAKE A FUCKING CLASSIC POL JOKE SNOWFLAKES

>>10518555
i mentioned this in another thread but the last 3 top 100s (2016, 2017 v1, 2017 v2 (this one)) were done by the lit discord. believe me or not but you can dig through the archives, theres a lot of "evidence"

they dont really try to hide it, these threads are just egotripping shitshows anyway

>>10518573
Nice work virgin... Lol

>>10518570
They are low IQ and can only resort to strawmanning their opposition through obvious shitposts like these instead of offering a rebuttal:

>>10518571
>>10518559

Meanwhile a single man is taking their whole operation down.

>>10518573
There's no evidence for this one. Unless it's on litcord but I'm not joining that shithole out of curiosity.

>>10518578
You've just revealed yourself falseflagger.

Everyone this is a litcord poster who goes by "Jeremy 12". He's an old style /lit/ shitposter. His style is instantly recognizable.

He's trying to play us like a fiddle, but I, a single man, can play him like the fool he is.

>>10518578
What rebuttal? It's pretty clear that they just don't like 4chan, but want the cool kid points for saying they do if they're banning over what is very common and acceptable behavior on the actual site the minute they get a modicum of power. I don't understand why someone would make a /lit/ discord channel and then not allow the things that happen on /lit/ to happen there. It's like saying "I like the book Lolita, but I'm not a pedophile so I'm going to rewrite it word for word except change her age to 21." What the fuck is the point at that point?

>>10518593
/lit/ hasn't always been the shithole that it is now. Mods used to ban retards, yet here you are.

>>10518589
No sorry, I'm much greater than Jeremy. I'm just some guy that wandered into the Discord because I wanted a cute anime girlfriend. I was banned shortly afterwards, clearly the mods were threatened.
>>10518593
An assurance at least that they are not the tyrants I am painting them out to be? No assurances though. Tacit agreement.

>>10518613
You want an anime girlfriend yet have your composure broken by discord on Discord?

You have much to learn young one, with age you will gain a better view of the world. Good luck, you young shining star.

Great thread guys. Really top work. Proud of us.

>>10518593
This is the only /lit/. there is no /lit/ outside of /lit/. it's healthy if litcord is trying to carve out its own culture. the reason I dont go on there is actually because of the shitposting. 4chan works well with shitposting, on a chat server it's a trainwreck which destroys any and all discussion.

So can we all agree that litcord is a gay normalfaggot enclave but still made a better top 100?

>>10518641
OP -is- from litcord
we're basically comparing which litcord chart is better at this point
the absolute state of /lit/ in 2018.

>>10518645
>OP -is- from litcord
sauce on this hot claim?

>>10518653
read the last 4 threads, he got called out multiple times

>>10518645
I've destroyed the pretenders, nothing left exists. Rest at ease. The Discord is dead.

>>10518653
OP is actually from asjacord. A discord that split off from litcord. It's composed of /soc/posting teenagers who don't read. The "surveyfag" is also known as Percy, or Gouki.

>>10518654
by the one spamming shitposter with no screencaps or anything? not even a handle?

>>10518665
his tag is Percy, there were some caps but then they locked down the cord and deleted a lot of posts, and banned a lot of people

or are you just percy trying to divert attention...

>>10518675
I was the one who brought up percy in that thread. I don't believe it was him.

tl;dr the fault lies not at any particular discord or board, but at this trickster figure known as Percy

>>10518678
t. Percy

>>10518686
this isn't helping me or anyone come to a conclusion on this. post screencaps.

>>10518693

Percy is a known fag who sucks up to the mods of litcord for shekels/attention. This is yet another FAKE POLL that DOES NOT represent lit. Why Was my vote for Culture of Critique not counted?

>>10518630
This but unironically, most fun thread we’ve had in a while.

>>10518785
>Why Was my vote for Culture of Critique not counted?
you know (((why)))

Reddit here, there's not enough womyn authors in your list. You only have 3 currently, fix that :)

>>10518817
Which only goes to show the absolute state of /lit/ in 2018

Wow the authorial word on 2017 /lit/ zeitgeist. Thanks OP, now VANISH.
