/LIT/'S FAVORITE READS OF JANUARY 2021 Bookie !!S4Nzgj8dP3d Sun Jan 31 11:21:28 2021 No.17425404 [Reply] [Original]

Hello /lit/, It's that time again.

Time to record our favorite reads of the past month. Use the link below to vote.
All answers are acceptable whether it is a poem or a play or a novel or a philosophical text or anything really as long as it was something you read this past January. However, spam and duplicate answers will not be counted.

In an effort to get more interesting final results, we ask that you are more specific in your answers. For example:
If you were going to vote for 'The Bible,' instead vote for the specific book of the Bible which you read, such as Exodus or Ecclesiastes.
If you were going to vote for 'The Poetry of John Keats' instead vote for a specific poem, such as Ode to a Nightingale or Endymion.

The votes will be tallied and results put into a chart at the end of the week. I hope you all had a good January, happy reading!

Last month the results were what you might expect, but so far the results of this month are looking pretty diverse, so far there have been zero votes for Moby-Dick, Crime & Punishment, Lolita, Odyssey, Iliad, Gravity's Rainbow, Stoner or Infinite's Jest.

That's a good question, I'd say go for it, I don't really care that much, I'm just saying this because I think it'd be more interesting to see specific Platonic dialogues in the results and specific Emerson essays rather than just seeing the usual 'Dialogues' and 'Essays.' Because if we're being honest nobody is reading all of the dialogues or the entire Bible in a month.

In case it hasn't already been pointed out: this is stupid. You're just going to get a bunch of single votes. It's very unlikely people will have read the same book in a month. So again, this is stupid, and if anything gets more than 2 votes its because there is some tranny discord read along happening.

Don't do this in February. Get a life.

You asked for 3 in December and I had read three in december. You ask for 5 in January and I read 5 in January. Only ask for 2 in February though, I'm starting The Recognitions soon.
Finding out what people are actually reading is much more interesting than the posturing that top 100 is.
