/lit/ - Literature

>mein kampf
this board is dead

what a shit list

>>19559477
Like every year its the same books in a different order

Not even top 10 for MK, this board is dead..

kek that even with hitler in the top 20 this list came out more diverse than reddit's exercise in box checking

>Dusty has five books on there, but Big Bill only has two plays
It's over Anglobros, we got too cocky...

Maybe next year Carsonbros...

Could we get a list without meme books and non fic pls

Here r/TrueLit's list from last year as a comparison.

>>19559477
I can brush aside the other memepicks, but Mein Kampf and Uncle Ted being this high is a clear sign that it's time to pack my bags and leave.

>>19559477
>Mein kampf
>No white fragility
Chud central

>>19559477
>Borges beat (((Hitler))) in the tie breaking round
BASADO

>>19559515
Here is the next 100

>>19559515
>Maybe next year [WORSE VERSION OF DFW] bros
No.

>>19559534
>compulsory black authors
kek reddit is something else

>>19559477
>Cofessions
Jesus Christ just delete this

>>19559542
Yeah, hitler only had around 20-25% of the vote the whole time

>>19559477

>>19559551
Good catch, I'll fix it

>>19559477
can you post at least the text of top 100 non-fiction ones

>>19559545
>>19559477
4/5 books I voted for only made the 101-200 list and the final one didn't even chart.

Sad day indeed

>8 people like DeLillo

>>19559477
Writers with more than one book:
>Dostoyevksy: 5
>Joyce: 4
>Pynchon: 3
>Homer: 2
>Tolstoy: 2
>Bolaño: 2
>Orwell: 2
>Hemingway: 2
>Steinbeck: 2
>Hesse: 2
>Mishima: 2

>>19559545
>6 votes
If we shill harder I feel like we can break 10 votes next year, and then maybe 15 votes by 2023. And Carson should be established /lit/core by 2025.

>>19559548
Not happening.

>>19559593
Shakespeare has two as well (Hamlet and Macbeth).

>>19559477
Please change the viewing permissions on the spreadsheet Mr. Pollster.
I'm not giving you my email.

>>19559477
Worst chart ever

>>19559602
You're right, I didn't realize that.

>>19559545
>Labyrinths and Ficciones are different works
Anon, I...

>>19559477
Wow it's just the same books again. Great stuff

>>19559534
>>19559545
Both of these lists are better than this year's top 100. The chart in the OP should be ignored for the Bible alone, but at least Borges is above Mein Kampf

>>19559477
Here is the chart

>>19559537
God please be serious I'd love if Mein Kampf got rid of one kike on this board

Is there a way to add the image to the sticky on the board? Or is the chart independent from the mods who control it

>>19559670
You misspelled "Bhagavad Gita" as well. Rather than just deleting it every time someone catches a mistake, you should probably just wait a while to let all the fixes come in.

>>19559671
grow up

>>19559670
>>19559683
Oh, you also wrote "Wurthering Heights."

>>19559670

Where is Herodotus? Is it not at all on the lists?

>>19559696
This.

>The Holy Bible first

>Mein Kampf on the second row
Can't complain. Good job lads.

>>The Holy Bible first

>Can't complain. Good job lads.

>>19559757
Love the seething

>>19559671
What do you mean? I don't dislike Meme Kampf as a book, it's claiming that it deserves to be in the top 100 let alone top 20 that's ridiculous.

>Love the seething

>>19559801
Spelling mistakes I think.

>>19559593
>not Faulkner
This board is doomed

>>19559776
It's a very important book and it's there not because of its literary value but because of its importance to contemporary events. Literature and art gets political when things get unruly. Things are unruly in the West and /lit/ rankings reflect contemporary events. If you don't get it, that's on you.

The art of the deal?
really?

I'm late to the party. Can someone repost please?

>>19559833
Mein Kampf was not even relevant in its day. Hitler's ideas are important now, with or without MK.

>>19559545
I see I was only one of 5 voters for The Name of the Rose and one of 3 voters for Either/Or. Didn't realize I was sharing the board with such pseuds! Get reading lads

>>19559545
The votes for Labyrinths here and Ficciones in the official chart should be combined.

>>19559842
>Hitler's ideas are important now
And in a /lit/ ranking that's reflected through votes for MK.

Since there's no pic for right now, can someone tell me if Ferdydurke at least made it on there?

>>19559790
>>19559801
>>19559841
Until OP gets spellcheck installed.

>>19559861
Yes.

>>19559861
Yea, it's there. I think in the 40s or 50s.

>>19559864
I think he deleted to avoid spreading the wrong one so you should just delete it and everyone can wait.

>>19559864
Thanks anon.

>>19559869
>>19559872
CAM ON. Ferdydurke/Polski boys finally out here reppin the pupcia

>>19559878

>>19559878

>>19559864
>Mein Kampf

Not literature. We should have Absalom, Absalom, Franny & Zooey, Jane Eyre, Storm of Steel, or Golden Bowl, etc from >>19559545

>>19559627

>>19559904
Pamphlets at best.

>>19559890
If the Odyssey has 35 votes, why is it above the ones with 37 or 36?

>>19559913
Because OP's brain is fried.

>>19559909
>t. doesn't know what's a pamphlet

>>19559913
Haha you're right lol. This has turned into a bit of a train wreck for OP.

>>19559913
Homer gives extra points by default

>>19559913
OP is absolute tatters.
Thread OP is imageless.
Revision is still error-filled.
Suicide is imminent.

>>19559925
It’s alright, that was just a first draft

>>19559922
It's not literature.

>>19559890
Oh, and yet another correction: The author of 100 Years of Solitude should be referred to as García Márquez or, less commonly, as García; Márquez is his maternal surname.

>>19559913
It had 38 votes

>>19559958
correct

op in shambles

Stop bullying OP he's a good man

>>19559890
with summed up votes Ficciones should outdo Stoner

Op should kill himself out of shame, what a joke of a man.

People who voted for MK generally voted for good books as it can be seen in the spreadsheet. It was a political statement.

>>19559864
>TBK in the top 3 again
glad to see /lit/ is still based
>the stranger making it lower and lower every year
and getting more and more based
>mein kampf that high
>on the list at all
nevermind

Ulysses used to be in top 5 yearly, wasn't it? Quite a downslide. I would've preferred IJ taking the slide instead, but it's good that we get some heh diversity.
>Ferdydurke, 11 votes
I didn't think that this many people on this board have even read it, let alone that it would make it this high (perhaps even too high, but the same can be said about many other titles). Well done Ferdydurkebros.
Overall I think it's the best list we've had in years, thanks for pulling it off OP.

Thanks to those who made this a better list!
I've incorporated the feedback, this one should address the previous comments

>>19559890
>Metamorphosis but no Trial
>Dostoevsky is 1/20th of the list
>Le political meme books
>Hegel makes surprise return
>Dune really fucking high up

What a year.

>>19559477
OP if you have any sense you'd remove the non lit shitpost submissions and include the next runner ups for ACTUAL AUTHORS not half baked political theory (kampf, industrial society) and just the first edition of capital. CPR can stay though.

>>19560176
Thank you for dealing with the anonymous masses kind pollster. I love these end of year lists

>>19560176
I'm glad Faust is getting the recognition it deserves, eventually it will reach top 10, where it belongs.

>>19560176
Based. Thank *you* for your service.

>>19560195
That is why I made The 101-200 list to accompany the 100 list

someone should post it on reddit

Respect

>The Bible
>Mein Kampf
>Das Kapital
>Industrial Society and its Future
I've read each of these (well I skimmed Uncle Ted's) and besides the Bible, which should be nowhere near number 1, they're all just bad books that are boring to read and have mediocre observations and ideas. It's sad to see that /lit/ is continually getting politicized; it seems like every year more and more meme political picks get more votes, although with the exception of Christians it seems like they're still a vocal minority.

How the fuck did we end up this bad ?

>>19560274
rope yourself

>>19560359
>seething this hard

>>19560421
simp

>>19560427
Yes, I like being able to discuss books without the discussion being monopolized by hyper political morons. Any sort of discussion about Hobbes, Aristotle, and the like is already fucked by people only concerned with how 'based' they are, and that's beginning to seep into any thread even tangentially related to politics.

>>19560553
What's wrong with being based?

>>19560587
Nothing, but quantifying the value of a person's ideas based on their being based is retarded.

/pol/ really did kill the smaller 4chan boards, jesus christ.

>>19560359
Blah blah fuck off to plebbit retard

>>19559545
Gaddis fell off real bad.

>>19559861
We've done it bros. Today, eleven of us have read Ferdydurke, tomorrow it might be twelve

>>19560169
I've been shilling the novel on and off for quite a while. I don't know if I was able to convince anyone or if this was organic growth.
>>19560260
Great marginal Modernist novel. An investigation into immaturity and form written in an absurdist and humorous style.
>>19560274
Nevermind you're NGMI. Sontag had better taste than you will ever have.

>>19560274
Sontag sucks dick but Ferdydurke is a good book.

>>19559534
How did anything beat the Divine Comedy? I thought it was the supreme work of all literature?

>>19561177

>FILE DELETED
Fucking Nigger mods, I tell ya.

>>19560176
63/100.
>>19559545
49/100

Overall, the top 100 list is slightly worse than in previous years. Even mentally editing out all of the retard meme responses, this continues to be true.

Every year this is a disaster.

>>19559477
Note: the OP of this thread is different, so enjoy have different versions floating around before people intentionally sabotage them as well.

newfags should not be allowed to conduct these polls

Jesus christ, i come here for recommendations since I got a new kindle, and half the top 50 is shit they make you read in high school because they're "classics". There's no fucking way 0 good books have come out within the last 10 years that could break into that list.

It's a popularity contest, not a contest of quality. They aren't going to vote for stuff they haven't personally read, meme voting aside.
If you wanted something like that, you'd need a panel of professional critics, or at least a panel of non-random judges rather than anons.

It wouldn't surprise if there was a group of discord christcucks who purposely voted for le Bible

>>19562111
What are you talking about, I'm the same person who made the chart and posted all the threads

>>19562289
718 votes=718 voters?

>>19559890
>Anna Karenina finally broke the top 10
fucking finally

>>19562465
I'll admit I voted for Mean Kampf 5 times

>>19562465
Up to 5 votes for each response, only the first vote was mandatory, so you didn't have to say 5 books, which explains why it's not 3590.

>>19562350
The bible has made the top ten for 6 years now, and the top two for the last three. On top of that we've been getting bible threads and religious threads on a daily basis for years.
Even if this christcuck discord bogeyman was a thing, they are part of the board now as much as philosophy fags

>>19562326
And they only managed to push hitler into the top 20? That's weaksauce

>no Musil
>only Death of Virgil from Broch
>no Döblin
Lol, trash again. sage

A question of great importance: would it be possible to somehow pull off separate polls for europeans and americans? So that we can get rid off picrel?

>>19562289
Shoutout to the other guy who voted for The Anatomy of Melancholy.

So which one is the final one? There are 5 versions floating around.

Thanks, OP.

also you're a fucking faggot for ruining this shit like this. You had one fucking job. But also thanks anyway.

>>19563628
See this thread
Op has the correct on
>>19560613
Also saged as that is the correct one.
