I've only read three things from this century, really.
>Kafka on the Shore, by Haruki Murakami
>Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro
>Atonement, by Ian McEwan
Need to read more.

>>15248450
Did you post a survery with that same exact image for authors who were unpopular or something
What did you do with that data

>>15248659
All great books.

only book I've read from this century is 2666

>>15248660
I am going to repost that survey this week because I didn't get enough responses to make a chart with.

>>15248673
Who the fuck did you sell my data to you lying cunt

>>15248672
I changed the survey so that you can nominate just 1 book if you'd like.

>>15248659
what did you never let me go. i read it ages ago. i remember liking it and the themes behind it but i dont think i can read it again because i just remember quite abit of it being just unnecessarily boring. i think i do wanna read it again though. i do like his first three books aswell.

>>15248684
Take your meds

Bump

>>15248698
I feel like a lot of it depends on how much you enjoy scenes of British boarding school life, as that is the majority of the first half of the novel, so generally if you find it boring it's because of that. I enjoyed pretty much all of the novel, if anything, especially the boarding school scenes, but that's just because I find that type of stuff interesting. The themes are probably the strongest point of the novel, however. It's probably worth a second read.

>>15248738
Why are you bumping a thread on the front page

>>15248759
It wasn't when I bumped it, I swear.

Pls can someone add the complete works of christian chandler thx

Bump

>>15248450
Done, OP. Do you have the results table? How's it going?

>>15248938

Bump

b-b-bump

>>15248450
Option 9 only allows you to type in a number.

>>15249199
I just fixed that, thanks

>>15249206
You're going to post it here, I don't want to miss it?

>>15249235
yes, i'll post the final results here, but considering how few responses i've gotten so far it will not be representative of the entire community

Bumping for visibility

>>15249243
give it time to breathe, I did a yearly top 100 poll once and results were coming in a bit slowly.

>>15249270
thanks, i'll keep that in mind

Bump

>>15249370
Any updates?

>>15249373
2666 #1 with 4 votes

Three way tie for third place with Atonement, The Road, and Sudden Death

>>15249382

2666 #1 with a comfortable lead

Bump

>>15249536
Still 2666

>>15249605
are you sure? are you sure it isn't the N word?

>>15249651
It's not the N word because I only accept responses from people 18 and older as per 4chan rules

What's the current #1?

>>15249719
Still 2666

>>15249719
Liveblog and Never Let Me Go are tied for #2, although Liveblog was almost definitely sent multiple times by the same person

>>15249693
>>15249719
it's the N word lmaooooo i spammed it dozens of times KEK xDD lmfao

>>15248450
Mate, you're going to be spammed to oblivion unless you enable the obligatory login option.

>>15249765
I suppose I'll do that, thanks.

>>15249765
fed lmao now no one is going to fill it out, who the fuck will give their information out

I read a book about turtles. Oh, and Killers of the Flower Moon was good too.

>>15249795
Many people. That's how the top 100 works. Also OP can't actually see your email address.

>>15249804
i already spammed the N word over a hundred times, so i win

>>15248750
I've read lots of British and American boarding school books and attended an American boarding school and still found the book incredibly unengaging. I also felt the descriptions of boarding school life really missed the mark. There's a certain feel to boarding life that is hard to create without having lived it.

>>15248462
We should make this the next /lit/ collab. We each write a diary entry and publish it as my diary desu.

This is grade-A shit. Carey has no talent for rendering psychological insight to his characters. What a great concept of a novel, and all he can think to do with it is “Ned did this then he did that then he did this which was v. like him to do see I’m not using correct punctashon and speling oh boy how clever is I.”

Fuck this book, and fuck the Aussie literary establishment for fellating it

>>15252730
Have any anons read Marias? What do you think of him?

1. 2666

3. Never Let Me Go, Sudden Death

>Good, I'm glad Sally Rooney's shitty books won't be on the list then.

Haven't read normal people. CwF was alright. It was infuriating because of the narcissistic narrator (probably reflecting an author with the same tendencies) but it was well-written except for the bullshit redemptory ending. Rooney has potential.

>>15253783
Normal People was pretty decent

>>15252736
he's great. he's like a contemporary henry james (but better imo)

>>15252730
>muh negros
>muh wimon
Shit taste. Here's a real chart.

>>15254141

Against the Day is the best book of the century so far by a country mile

>>15254462
It only has 2 votes so far, you can vote to nominate it if you'd like
