Anyone have a comparative religion chart?

>>13501563

>>13500818
that's a good chart, though.

i have a lot of charts, impossible to post everything but if you have any requests i can post it if I have it

>>13501574
Muito obrigado. Assuming you're a hue, do you have any other works that you would recommend?

>>13501587

>>13501587
Anything Portuguese from Portugal? And Irish/Scottish?

>>13501601
haven't read much national works, I'm always ashamed by how little I've read. It was one of my goals this year to read more of it. Well, there's still time, maybe will read mostly brazilian works until the end of the year.
I loved Grande Sertão and Os Sertões. By Assis, the one I liked more is posthumous memoirs. Can't recommend anything else, sorry.

>>13501608
no, sorry

>>13501587
>>13501550
Looking like Eliade type stuff

>>13501587
Thanks for sharing

>>13502030
missed opportunity to add Joe Rogan

>>13502195
>not including Simone Weil

>>13502030
seinfeld is better than most of the literature discussed here

>>13502681
Woah.. easy on the opinions

>>13501587
Probably the best chart i ever seen, good job

dropping some more

>>13503035
this one is very interesting too

bad filename

>>13500551
Go back to Reddi t. This is the most gay post I've ever read. You're worse than the weeb by a longshot.

Are there any charts showing recommended reading but beyond the entry-level, well-known stuff that always appears on recommendation charts?

>>13500551
Every single one of these books are great books. Back to plebbit you go

>>13504257
House of Leaves was a sack of crap. The premise of the Navidson portion of the book was interesting, but the Johnny half added nothing of value. All he ever did was talk about hookers and sex and having someone stick their finger up his butt. Absolutely disgusting and ruined the whole book.

>>13500551
You wouldn't happen to have a chart on /lit/ SCIENCE FICTION would you? I could really use one.

>>13500551
>>13501587
Any Dickens flowcharts perhaps?

>>13504498
There are charts posted in the sci-fi/fantasy thread literally every day. here's one.

>>13504498
>>13504525
another.

>>13504525
This chart kind of sucks.
>>13504530
This is better. Thank you.
A similar one focused on fantasy would be much appreciated

>>13504559
>>13497339

>>13504506
Bumping my request.

Any Faulkner chart, /lit/?

>>13504694
Yeah, someone literally already posted it.

>>13504772
thanks I hadn't seen it. it seems incomplete, though. no Sanctuary, no Wild Palms, etc.

Idk where to post this request, but.. Could anyone supply me with a redpill book chart or a infographic similar to this? https://imgur.com/a/7YLKv
I'd be grateful.

>>13501610
>>13501563
Sup, my fellow macaquitos. Leiam João Cabral de Melo Neto e Bruno Tolentino. É o ápice da patrician lit from BR.

>>13500551
currently namedropped by tryhards? half of these are school curriculum

>>13503062
Really shouldn't start with just Rose for Emily, read a couple of his short stories. Uncle Willy, the Tall Men, Centaur in Brass, etc.

>>13504530
I would like to point out that the Niven/Pournelle book Footfall is mistitled as Moving Mars

>>13500818
Mathias Enard's"Zone" and Eugene Vodolazkin's "Laurus" should be added to this chart

does anyone have a chart for Céline?

has anyone a must read chart for German classics?

>>13500551
God bless you my brother, they will always try but will fail tragically, all of these books are good by the way.

>>13506193
This.

OP, BNW, War/Peace, and the Brothers Karamazov is not a "tryhard" book, they are very insightful pieces but are just superficialized and turned cliche.

>>13500818
poor representation of the 20th century if all of these books are from obvious 20th century authors who just happened to release a book or two after 2000

>>13503055
This is bait, right?

>>13506378
no, newfag, it isn't bait. It is one of the few legitimate charts in the last few years. I voted for it and accessed the spreadsheet a few times during the voting period.

>>13506193
there you go

>>13504848
all right, will be my next brazilian literature. Recommendation of books to start with each of them?

>>13507163
>>13506378
meant to say 'one of the few legitimate top 100 charts', as in there was a transparent and democratic process of voting.

>>13507163
Melo Neto: A Educação pela Pedra;
Tolentino: As Horas de Katharina.

Have fun, fren.

>>13507203
based. will do. Another one I want to read is Suassuna's O Romance d'a Pedra
have you read it?

>>13507203
also, any other recs of brazilian lit are welcome, feel free to drop more names if you want. As I've said before, have read a shamefully small amount of brazilian literature and I'm ignorant about our good authors but want to get to know them more now

>>13507224
never saw this chart here, very nice.
I love modernism

>>13507225
Clarice Lispector

>>13503070
>Isabel Allende
disqualified by default

>>13503065
Any italian pagan writings?

>>13504525
>the carpet makers
Very good, i rarely see it quoted.

>>13507225
>>13507209

Work your way down from the modernists to the very roots of our literature. I am currently writing a thesis on Padre Antonio Vieira for law school, look him up. He's known as Príncipe da Língua Brasileira. Even though he's a tuga, he wrote most of his sermons in BR. Up until the 19th century he was THE reference when talking about rhetoric. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Others I enjoy are Gregório de Matos and Nelson Rodrigues (if you enjoy perv disgusting and wonderfully written shit).

>>13509179
>(if you enjoy perv disgusting and wonderfully written shit).
I loved Gravity's Rainbow so might be just right up my alley.
Will check all of those for sure, thanks again frend

>>13509770

Requesting the last edition of /lit/ guide to dark and disturbing literature.

>>13510654

>>13506357
What the fuck are you talking about? If it was published in the 21st century it's a 21st century work. Never seen someone try to force le wrong generayshun this hard.

>>13511758
Thank you

>>13512325
where is honk?

Anyone got a hardboiled/Noir chart? I want to read some edgy mysteries.

>>13500551
share more charts my dear chart-brothers

>>13502030
Holy shit I loled hard

>>13512325
This should really be sequentially arranged, it's not gonna make a lot of sense if each book is read in isolation.

>>13511920
has any group of people internalized another's romantic fantasy about themselves as complete as amerindians?

>>13504495
sounds like you'd be more comfortable with some young adult novels. no nasty stuff in it so mommy won't object to it being your bed time book

>>13507224
John Dos Passos is missing, one of the main modernist according to my lecturer.

>>13512341
>only one sholokhov
>no Gladkov
it's not like you ran out of space

>>13501587
There was a gigantic chart with 500+ books grouped by genre and showing connections between the genres. Do you have that one?

>>13502030
Can someone make a real chart ?

Bump

>>13513762
This?

>>13516572
This is an awful list of books. Of the three existential books, none are staples of the genre. The single Christian book is a children's book. The Time Traveler's Wife is listed as high-brow. Places Candide under Literaray Qua Literary (as if that's meaningful) instead of under Satire. Has Conan as Heroic, instead of Sword and Scorcery, which is right next to it. It puts Time Machine in the same category as Dune, while Solaris is counted as Hard Science Fiction, with literally no Asimov. Hitchhiker's Guide is put under Comic, with no connection to Sci-Fi, and of course there's no more traditional comic stories, such as even Lucky Jim or Pickwick Papers. And with that in mind, Don Quixote isn't anywhere in the entire chart!

>>13501010
You might try 'die Schachnovelle' it's a short read

>>13500551
>there

lol embarrassing.

>>13501010
The Royal Game by Stefan Zweig

>>13512383
This is a pointless fucking chart

>>13513672
Updated. Also included Doblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz, often compared to Ulysses.

>>13517297
Does the publisher of that edition of Howards End know they put an apostrophe on the cover that doesn't belong there?

>>13501587
contemporary non-fiction chart?
romance chart?

>>13512308
half of these are literally just fake books you made in MS paint
wtf is the point ?

Hey guys, I am looking a dark literature chart, not violence and stuff like >>13511758, but as in psychologically dark. Anyone have one?
Individual recommendation will be good too.

Anyone has a romantic lit chart? <3 :*

>>13500551
Anyone have an 80's chart or something?

Anyone have a romantic lit chart? <3 :*

I download charts but don't actually read

Requesting Persian lit chart

Does it even exist?

>>13517590

>>13517804
based

>>13517804
Literally on the wiki

I know about the lit starter kit, but I've had trouble really getting into books. I don't pick up a book and almost immediately get into it like when I was younger, or even with certain books in high school, if I remember right. If I do finish something, it's usually a slog or forced and I don't feel anything much from it. Revisiting Catcher in the Rye wasn't bad about a year ago, but nothing else Salinger wrote gave that same kind of inspiration. Should I just force my way through the chart for the sake of completing it and seeing what I may get from it along the way?

>>13517997

I get that, but I’d also like to see more contemporary literature mixed in too. Thanks for the mention though

>>13517900
Thanks mate.
Do you happen to have a psychological thriller chart?

>>13518482
Good chart of *Spanish* literature. Very much appreciated, anon!

>>13518500
it's not spanish you stupid cunt

Anyone has a decent horror chart?

>>13518800
id like to see that

>>13516572
YES. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER. YOU ARE DOING GOD'S WORK, ANON.

>>13501587
Any weird fiction/horror?

>>13518002
I'd suggest reading some novellas which are usually 100 pages long. Look for some that legit interest you then try and finish itIf it's the case, force yourself to read X number of pages everyday, even if it's just 5 or 10, soon you'll probably start enjoying reading again

>>13518582
How so?

>>13520177
they are catalans.

>>13520209
That is to say, spaniards.

>>13520379
no, they are catalans, who are found in france and spain.
