NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN FOR ALL BOOKS - WILL BE OPEN FOR THREE WEEKS. CLOSING ON DECEMBER 25.

NOTE NEW (AND CONTROVERSIAL) SCORING METHOD BELOW; MAKE YOUR VOTES ACCORDINGLY!

https://forms.gle/SYonDiWQVfQ2tHmA7

---

The time has come to prepare /lit/'s top 100 list for 2020. On the above link, you can nominate up to 10 books to be included on the list.

NOTE - We will be scoring this a bit differently this year. In the interests of making a more interesting and idiosyncratic list, we will allow you to vote *multiple times* for a single book, so that if you choose you can give more weight to one book than another. You essentially have ten 'points' to spend; you can nominate 10 books with one 'point' each, or one book with all ten 'points', or anything in between.

The link provides spaces for you to list 10 books. You can nominate up to 10 books, but you do not need to nominate that many. Each space is worth 1 point. If you would like one of your nominations to be weighted more heavily than others, simply include it multiple times in your responses.

Please submit your nominations in the form of "TITLE - AUTHOR'S LAST NAME" e.g. "Hamlet - Shakespeare" or "Moby Dick - Melville" or "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - Gibbon". Obvious troll responses (i.e. "How to Suck Cock - OP") will be weeded out, but replies that are merely racist or not politically correct (i.e. "Bronze Age Mindset - BAP" or "Mein Kampf - Hitler") will not, as they are still representative of the culture of /lit/, regardless of how distasteful any individual anon might find them. Books that are part of a series (i.e. any single play of the Orestseia, any single novel of the Aubrey-Maturin series, etc) will count as a vote for the entire series as single work unless you indicate otherwise.

This poll will close on December 25th (Merry Christmas!). Happy holidays to all!

The power of Mein Kampf to make people seethe and sperg out is incredible. Both the /pol/tards trolling the submissions and the 'OMG YOU NAZI FILTIER IT OUT NOW' crowd are reacting so strongly to something that should (if we were all saner people) be looked at as a tired meme and met with an eyeroll at most.

Op, just to be clear Seymour An Introduction and Raise High the Roof Beam Carpenters are the same book, I think some were entered under both.
Also Guignol's Band 2 and London Bridge are the same book.
Thanks.

>>16985639
White Idenity is not a meme book, it just has a meme title. It's not what you think it is at all. Also, Kaczynski should genuinely remain, he's had unique ideas that have inspired many people on /lit/ and an interesting voice in ecofascism. The Fountainhead is 'good' too, politics aside, although the Vidor film is much better.

That being said, I would have voted for none of these.

You're a screeching drone spewing 'wahhhh poltard' because I don't like the same over-socialized sacred texts as you and everyone else.
I also said I did not and would not vote for him, but he's not just a /pol/ meme. You know absolutely nothing about him, and his first book (aside from the Japan one) was surprisingly well-written, I was skeptical as well, and I didn't read all of White Identity, but it's just a continuation of Paved With Good Intentions, which was very well-written and formulated. Please tell me why mundane Camus or Orwell is more 'profound' than Jared Taylor, when they represent midwit ideas any retard could understand, and why The Trial and Metamorphosis are better than The Castle and we shouldn't remove those 2 and put The Castle and one of his better short story collections, like A Country Doctor. Also, tell me why Dostoevsky's 5 major novels are included, but not The Adolscent or The Gambler, aside from reffering to arbitrary lists and consensuses. My point is you fundamenally cannot think for yourself and have to rely on impresions and the opinions of others. Like I said, you are a tranny who refuses to even engage with Taylor, as you would defecate all over your room at the sheer mention that your infantile neo-liberal 'utopia' is a joke.

Hey anon,I have something for you,I don't like over-posting this but this is a golden oportunity,I will say my opinions on liberalism and the respective panel of the comic as I go,and you can't stop me
This is only the introduction into the paranormal,into the occult.
Please read every single author found in these comics,they are not propaganda and some are apolitical

Now let's talk about the state of modern society
>Trannies are tolerated
Why should I or you tolerate them?
What moral argument is there to tolerate them?
Why?
Because society is fucking weak
Because it costs money not to,masses wil get angry
The lgbt movement is a farce,they added a + because they really don't see you as being worth more.
Pride flags and Lgbt are made to serve corporate interests,Karl Marx would lose his shit if he saw you being fucking proud of
>oh you see this?
> it's lesbian gay bisexual and transexual
>LGBT
>I am in the +,I am insert *mentall illness*
Watch some Zizek videos on this,the Bri-ish imperialists you hate so much categorized irrelevant tribes like this,he is a actual marxist hegelian
>oh so we have OKCB
>meaning oga bungas,kangs,chunga bungas,and bababuis

I just had an idea to make this list properly. The poll should have 101 questions to it. The first 100 questions are the names of the 100 books from last year followed by yes or no, and the 101st question is the option to nominate a new book. The OP would look at the yeses and nos for each of the old books and reorder them and filter some out while adding in new books that people nominate. This idea has some merits, but giving people the option to give their random ass book that no one else has read 10 votes was foolish

>> No.16987803

>>16987783
This is an interesting idea, and in general I like the concept. I would worry about it really limiting the opportunity for changes in the list, however. Also, we'll need to keep in mind that with a 101 question survey, many anons will start but not finish it, so we'd have to have some idea of what to do with the half-completed forms we would get. Still though, it's something to think about for future years. Thanks anon!

Part 2 electric boogaloo
Anon stopped posting it so I will
Here is some actual science,if the CIA saying remote viewing,and spiritual practices from different cultures are real wasn't already enough,here is even more
Once again,for the new fags that actually put the effort into reading rather than larping is demagogues on /lit/ and /pol/,don't overpost this comics,you are a fag,the occult is meant to be somewhat hidden,as the masons say,their practices are out in the open.
>he mentioned evola fascist scumm
Yes,he is very valid,a great philosopher
Evola had deals withing the nazi regime giving him acces to masonic documents,from masons.
As for his theories,no man was ever 100% correct about everything,he still holds great wisdom,and other less political occultists admited this.
Hermeticism and the jewish kabbala might sound weird for someone that,atleast on a general scale, ''doesn't like jews'' but these magical traditions have even made great advancements in science,Newton was very very interested in ancient alchemy for example,and there are demonic beings mentioned in the ars goetia specifically described as ''gives knowledge of geometry and liberal sciences''.

Most of the scientific comunity the atheists praise so much,is not atheistic,we can get examples like Stephen Hawkings and many others,your left-wing politicians aren't atheists either,Biden is a devout catholic isn't he,things like Bohemian grove were very real and not disproved to this day,these people might not literally worhship ''muh satan'' like conservacucks would say,but they did worship something the public had no idea about,and the people there weren't regular joes either.

Organized religion troughout history have been used to fulfill personal or political goals,hence why I would rather not consider myself christian,pegan,or support any new age bullshit.
This doesn't mean the gods themselves,or any mythical being is ''fake'',the wisdom of the stories of old is loaded into our subconscious,and affects our lives even if we don't know it.

Modern science and especially psychology is weak and very much invalid,as they declare anything that isn't liberal,friendly,and egalitarian as pseudoscience,and ''this contradicts the Laws of physics so it's fake,wdym it workes consistently?it can't,so fake).
Scientism might sound like a karen,flat earther term,but I don't think those people should be taken seriously.

Reincarnation is also very probably real,you action in this life will have consequences,certain more abstract afterlifes might be real too.

The name calling is pretty pathetic. I dont even read political books, and rarely do I go on /pol/, I'm merely pointing out that you are not the authority on what is and is not literature. I never once said Mein Kampf was good literature, I said it was literature. I didn't add an adjective or a qualifier. I did not ask "my own" question, nor answer it. I suggest you open some intro to reading comprehension videos since you obviously struggle with reading, maybe listening may be better suited to help you.

You stated everything that everything that is literature is lit which is cleary not the case. If you're saying everything that is literature is literature then you're saying nothing informative.

Ow fuck it I'm tired I'm just posting the last few,I think the racial soul part is ultimately true,but I don't think europeans are the perfect balance between spirituality and materialism as the comic says,look at how fucked they are now.
Racial supremacy is icky considering reincarnation might be real,so I can't support it
Allowing people in the old world to racemix,and stay in their countries is retarded
>uhh but multiculturalism and diversity have brung about a greater understanding between peoples,and technological development
Literally didn't,Japan is a perfect example,it doesn't have to imigrate to spread it's culure(anime and real) and technology,Japan isn't multicultural either.
You don't need to have open borders to allow ideas to spread,you can still have international prestigious schools,but people that aren't genetically part of the nation they want to settle in should never be allowed,under no circumstance
Japan has a massive population so having shit birthrates.for the moment isn't that bad

Superpowers like the US have almost total control over the world,and no superpower is eternal,all shall fall,the beacon of light,freedom,and democracy,and all that liberals love,shall fall eventually too,pax romana wasn't eternal either.
In this sense,trying to defend democracy is retarded,it has won,and it is about to die,like literally anything humanity worshipped
