>>19560647

>>19560669
Thanks anon, I've been looking for a chart like this

>>19560613
Can we make a list next year but with only literature? Not political pamphlets like Mein Kampf or Das Kapital. They take up space that could've been used by literary works.

>>19560636
IJ is a perennial top 5 and AA generally only scrapes top 20.

>>19560647

It had fallen out of the top 10 for a couple of years. Glad to see it back. It is a great book and unfairly maligned by people who I am willing to bet for the most part have not read it and just join the pile up

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?

Very few votes for any playwrights other than Bill. Looked through the spreadsheet, 1 for Euripides, 1 for Marlowe, 0 for Ibsen, 0 for Schiller, 0 for Shaw. Seems people don't read plays. Or they're like me, and hadn't thought that a play would count as a book.

>>19563289
One of the better charts in a while.

austria is encumbered by snow, so i wrote a poem about it at work. dont hold back poetryfags, my second ever attempt at lyrical writing:

Der Schnee verhüllt, der Schnee vereinfacht
ein Sand aus Eis, der alles gleichmacht
Mooß aus Kristall, erobre sacht
du Sturm aus Weiß, Vasall der Eintracht

Man sieht in seiner Zeit nur Formen
die alles viele an sich ziehen
zum Schweigen bringen alle Normen
und sich im Traum vom Ganz verlieren

Würdest du innehalten, dann

deswegen bleibe dann und wann

dude, i'm not him but having The Bad Book in top 100 is logical seeing as we're the "edgy" part of internet, having both Marx and Hitler is the "schizo" part
What you should be against is other political pamphlets, religious books, genre and "philosophical" novels

>>19563964
Ok I'll stop wi try the snark when it stops triggering you

>>19563850
To be fair I haven't read the Scarlet Letter since high school and House of the Seven Gables didn't impress me. Most of my surprise is due to reputation; I mean, it's not like any Hawthorne is much harder to get through than Moby Dick or Faust or Ulysses.

As for me, The Blithedale Romance just completely blew me away. Some of the best characters I've ever read. A bit overwritten, yes, but it's in the first person and even that's a perfect little bit of characterization. And the prose is often beautiful. It's aged incredibly well, feels extremely contemporary. The narrator and Zenobia in particular are very alive, modern types of people. It's also extremely based. I adore it.

>>19564295
I can safely estimate that I've read 80-90% of the bible thus far in my life. (I haven't voted for it though)(I think it deserves a high spot though)(not necessarily this high though)(you may be right with the counterculture part though)(funny how it became counterculture in a few decades btw)

Apparently, I read 44/100 of the /lit/ list. I'll never complete it because there are some that I don't plant to read in any near future.

I'm currently reading The Bible (not /lit/ version) and Ulysses

I read 94/100 of the books in OP's list and I don't feel any different compared to before my "journey". This place lied to me. Well, guess it's time to finally dedicate my time to something more practical.

>>19564418
What is next for me

>>19560888
From the list I'd say The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea, it's meme'd here a lot but Mishima is very good, he's like Dostoevsky but not as long-winded.

Don't worry, when I was first on /lit/ I didn't know almost ANY of the writers that were being discussed at the time, but if you read exclusively classics + most important works of philosophy, it will take about 2-3 years to fix your illiteracy.

not who you're responding to but I am the anon that made that kant-fichte chart you posted above. For Hegel, read Hegel's Difference essay after you're finished with Fichte and then jump right into the Phenomenology. Use Harris's Hegel's Ladder to make it through. Schelling is good in his own ways but he isn't required reading for Hegel (Fichte is though)

It's crazy how similar the lists are yet how different the communities are. I find that r*ddit board incredibly dull. I will never understand the stark contrast between 4chan and r*ddit it feels like different worlds altogether.

>>19560613
LOTR is way, way too high, it's a book that would be mostly ignored today, it just had first mover advantage in a new market. American Psycho was good, doesn't belong on the list though. Infinite Jest does not belong on the list either or should at least be much farther down. Book of the New Sun isn't even the best genre fiction, but it's quite good genre fiction, so I can see it somewhere on the list, however I'd put Dune or The Darkness That Comes Before before it.

It's funny to see Atlas Shrugged disappear. Old school Boomer conservatism truly is dead, huh? How long until BAP takes Rand's place? That's an improvement though because the book is incredibly hackneyed budget Nietzsche.

I highly doubt a tiny fraction of this board has read A Critique of Pure Reason or the Phenomenology, and mixing philosophy with literature seems sort of silly, as does the inclusion of religious texts.

Overall though, the list isn't bad, although I would switch some things around. Antony and Cleopatra ranks with Hamlet as my favorite Shakespeare. I'd definetly have Antigone and Prometheus Bound near the top if drama is being included. War and Peace > Anna Karenina, although I can see a case for either. The exclusion of Borges, is criminal.

However, the exclusion of any Toni Morrison, but inclusion of American Psycho, IJ, and the Unibomber near the top does definitely give this a 4chan feel, so it's good for what it is. Combine that with the inclusion of esoteric texts few have actually read but which must be added for prestige and it's kind of perfect.

>>19569833
Never mind, I see Borges by the top now, somehow missed him.

>>19569833
>thinks Antigone should be near the top
>finds it unlikely that the 8 people who voted Kant read Critique of Pure Reason
>he thinks there are esoteric books included that people haven't read
Yup we got a pseud

It never made the list in the first place redditor

I've posted on /lit/ enough to know that philosophy threads are 95% people skimming Wikipedia to claim that X philosopher was totally retarded because Y philosopher said Z, so yes I don't think the average amount of study is particularly deep.

If it's just 8 votes, maybe I'm wrong though.

>>19569921
The Capital is a great book and by no means a retarded rambling pamphlet

>>19569988

>>19563751
Most of this board only reads books that have been praised in the Anglosphere for 100 years. 90% American, British and Dolstoi

>>19570111
Gogol made it to the honorable mentions at least. Pelevin is underrated as a contemporary author in the Anglosphere for sure though. Murakami is absent too it seems.

This isn't /lit/ specific though. The NYT just did a list of the best books in the past 125 years and it is almost all English, with Harry Potter near the top. I almost thought it was only English, but Marquez is there.

This is true of other languages too though. French books fill out a lot of Le Monde's list, 7 of the top 10. I do credit the list for including Umberto Eco though, which English lists often don't, same for Kundera.

Then as I said it is just surprising it is always the exact same basic reads

>>19570933
Those are not basic reads you idiot, they are popular for a reason. But you are too insecure to admit you like the same books as everyone else, so you have to dig out these obscure books to like to boost your ego. Peak pseud.

>>19570928
Well shit. Guess I fucked up somehow. Still since I doubt you have read any of them you should give them a go.

Green = read, yellow = reading, red = dropped. (The Bible, in book of Samuel. I read it once in a while in between other books. W&P, dropped 15 years ago at the point when Moscow burned. I don't feel like restarting or continuing from where I dropped it. I was younger then, but I did like it. I remember liking Pierre's sections in particular and especially the part where one of the characters wakes up amid all the snow after the battle.)
What is Ferdydurke? I've never heard it discussed here before.

>>19570943
They're not obscure lmao. Regardless, I didn't say they're bad. As I said, I am just surprised it is always the same books.

>>19570958
It's a kind of modernist weird fiction concerning the problem of immaturity. Very eerie and funny at times.

Are you genuinely retarded? Let’s put Harry Potter and Ready Player One since they are popular too, right? There are some books in the chart that no one should be reading past high school and do not deserve a spot on the “greatest” books ever.

>>19572315
Are you ok? I don't think Harry Potter or Ready Player One made the top 100.

How? Did you read it? I think it was a good book, national socialism as an ideology aside. It contains some lessons and life stories of a decorated WW1 vet, read it through those lens instead of your biased ones and perhaps you'd enjoy it more.

>>19566081
What is your critique of Mein Kampf? Any arguments against it's literary quality or are you only going to regurgitate discord buzzwords? If you want to see Karl Marx at #1 why don't you simply hold the poll back on leftypol? And don't even try and say you aren't a leftygoylem, I'm willing to bet 10, no 20 bucks you have a discord account.
