Come on guys, can't you just dismiss someone elses opinions without calling it bait? It's a silly chart with a lot of books that are obviously not for "pseuds". Just call it silly and get on with it.

Why did you quote me when I was the one doubting that it was bait?

Because you're still giving it merit by considering its... merits.

I considered the amount of seethe thath must've propelled the author in his endeavor. This is a bait thread anyway and mods should delete it for trolling outside of /b/.

Faust, Lovecraft's works, and The Odyssey seem oddly out of place here. If they want to include poetry, and fiction with a fuck ton of books that are meant to give you a philosophical lense for how to see the world, they might as well add Poe, T.S Elliot, and The Divine Comedy as they're on the shelf of a lot of these types of people.
