is there a guide on how to hack topsters to make book charts?

>>15860355
That's a good chart, but what's it aiming at? I feel like the author didn't really go one way or the other, looks like Libidinal Materialism core except no Reich, no Bion, no Land (except for cyberpositive), no Lyotard, no Brassier, no Schreber, no Rimbaud, no Proust, no AntiOedipus (!). However it adds Borges, Kant, Joyce, Barthes, so I may be wrong

>>15861162
check the movies box instead of music and paste in links to covers of images. i used goodreads to get them quickly.

>>15861251
they're just my favorite books.

probably the wrong thread to ask but is there a chart or something for recommending uplifting/optimistic books? most of the books on the top 100 aren't quite that.

>>15861397

Long live the chart threads.

>>15861418
thank you!

>>15861418
Castaneda would make a fine addition, also Deleuze's Spinoza: Practical Philosophy

Some time ago I asked /lit/ to help flesh out my Korean Literature chart, and now I incorporated the suggestions and made it pretty now that I know how to use topsters thanks to >>15861302

bump for guyotat .

Is there a chart for someone new to reading books?

Some kind of progression chart? Imagine the last thing you read was Harry Potter and you haven't read since but you're bored because of quarantine

>>15862764
But I also don't want to make a thread because I'll get memed at

>>15862764
These suggestions are breddy gud. That "books named by tryhards" one above is also good, funny enough.

>>15862931
I won't be a tryhard?

>>15863021
Just don't bring books you read up all the time with normies and you'll be good. That "tryhard" one is mostly a meme because it's made up of a lot of books /lit/ used to rate very highly (with some exceptions that I think were just pet peeves of the chartmaker).

>>15861039
Should I read the Bhagavad Ghita or Upanishads first?

>>15863048
Do you mean like don't bring it up in a way to seem cultured/superior?
>As in I'm such a cultured reader, I've read all the greats like Cat's Cradle, Infinite Jest
>God I'm so smart

>>15863112
Of course.

Gita first, then Upanishads.

>>15863171
Pretty much. If someone asks you what you've been reading, that's all good, but that picture's talking about the type of people who bring up reading Tolstoy in a pub argument about Trump.

>>15863207
Thanks anon, although it feels weird just following a chart. I feel like if anyone asks me what I like to read it would be a fake answer since I didn't acquire them on my own and was just following what everyone else liked
As in I didn't discover them on my own

A couple I have saved for future reading

>>15863290
Don't worry about that so much. You have to remember that most people just read things assigned to them in classes, and maybe what their friends read later in life. Just taking on the challenge of reading literature for fun when you aren't being forced is an independent decision if you ask me.

Does anyone have any Mexican charts?

>>15864469
What about the inverse of this?

Anyone have something similar to this.

I'm a lazy retard and want to change my life. I have nothing to lose know because Corona, so, I hope to get more books like these.

>>15864853
Well have you obtained the books yet?
I believe in you anon

WHERE IS ANON WHO MAKE SOUTH AMERICA AZTEC ETC CHARTS. HAVE YOU DON E IT?!?

>>15864853
meditation and mindfulness is also great if your a lazy retard
has helped me tremendously as someone with adhd. i can force myself to do tasks a lot more easily now

>>15862482
>>15862497
based Russian stuff poster, thanks anon

>>15865054
Isn't it perpetually unfinished?
I'm also interested in this

bump

>>15864679
Its not my thing as its so common in literature and real life

>>15865677
why is Nietzsche in both the Doomer and the Bloomer chart?

>>15865953
The impact of Nietzsche depends on your mental state going in.

>>15862482
based, love Russia. thanks

Is there a manifesto chart? Or something similar with my twisted world and things like that?

Hey /lit/, I'm new to reading so go easy on me. I'm looking to develop well-rounded knowledge on a vast amount of topics so I know at least a bit about most things. Things like history, technology, language, philosophy etc. Mostly non-fic. Then I can go more in depth on the topics that most interest me.

Is there any chart on the top books for the main categories?

>>15866634

>>15866662

>>15866665

>>15866675

>>15864359

basically the doomer chart but better

>>15866709
Werther is neither doomer nor /r9k/ but whatever

>>15866709
"Welcome to NHK" is pretty anti-doomer and anti-r9k since it's basically saying that there's always a chance to grow in life, especially if you are on the younger side of things like the main cast of the book.

>>15865677
>>15865507

(x)oomer /lit/ chart
>Nietzsche

>>15865953
>>15865962
was thinking the same thing, 2 ideas;
1) Neither chartist finished the books or encountered the re-valuation portion
2) Nietzsche's gravitational pull on most intellectuals is so great that most chartists "check the box" by including him
