>the Odyssey
>the Republic
>the Oedipus plays
>the Aneid
>ovid's metamorphosis
>St. Augustine's confessions
>Beowolf
>the Divine comedy
>the tale of the genji
>the cantebury tales
>Don Quixote
>the complete works of Shakespeare
>Faust
>Paridise Lost
>Moby Dick
So /lit/, are you well read?

Nobody on /lit/ actually reads; we just shit on books so that we don't have to read any of them.

I literally memorise lines so I can dismiss entire authors' bibliographies if anyone in real life asks me about them.

Example: someone asks:

"Have you read Moby Dick?"

"Verbose and excessive passage on whale anatomy and taxonomy didn't work very well as a literary device to denote the obsessive mentality of Ishmael."

I have no idea what that means, but that's my stock response. I have one of these for each of the most read ~1000 novels.
