I'm not talking about the value these books hold, which I can agree they do hold value but the fact that you hold them such a status to say that if you haven't read them that you cant talk about books or don't belong on a literature board is similar to how some film cunt saying that if you haven't viewed the "classics" of pop culture that you have no say in the discussion of film.

these lists have the opposite effect of what you're saying, some teenager sees something like that and takes it as a challenge to read all that stuff to become part of some imagined exclusive group. The fact that it's framed as being difficult and unusual is essential to the appeal

You do know that there are more books than the ones listed, like those aren't the only books ever written. You do know this Right?
