2015 comes in second and last year's takes third place. What went so right with this board's taste?

Just look at that top 10 from last year. I would put it up against anyone's list, professional publications included.

No Absalom, Absalom! is kind of crazy. It's the best Faulkner of all yet I rarely see it on /lit/.

Well, this lists are rated from /lit/‘s favorite books, so that makes sense. Vote for it this year and it could end up on the list.

These two are so similar I can barely see the differences.
Apart from book 88 what is actually different?

The only reason these keep getting better is because The Stranger keeps dropping in rank. I like the book but it's overrated as all hell and it doesn't deserve to be even in the top 30. To put it above so many other works is crazy, and it was the worst when the book made it to the first place in one of the top 100 lists.
