>>21375610
Don't mind me, I am just going to vote for the exact same 100 books from last year, again, again

One Soldier's War for best memoir bros

>google form
Fuck you :(

>>21375610
>top 100
>5 votes
you are overestimating the amount of people who votes on this polls

>>21375666
>>21375841
i'm very intentionally operating this exactly as it was done the previous year.
perhaps you're right in that this could be done differently or "better", but i'm favouring consistency for the sake of the participants.

>>21375610
link?

thank you to everyone who has voted thus far, it's a slow start but i'm thankful for what it is.
please try to keep the thread alive whilst i am away. if it dies, i will make another when i awake in the morning.
>>21375983
see the "tinyurl" at the bottom of the OP,. you will have to enter it manually.
i can't directly link it to you because it triggers the spam filter.

>>21375610
I am unable to vote. Can make a poll on a different website?

>>21376251
please try again, i have just disabled the requirment to sign in.

>>21375610
The first thing you will do when you've compiled all the results together and created this year's chart, is post it on Reddit. I refuse to be part of such a project

>Google
Nice try glowie

These have been rigged/fixed since 2014

Don't waste your time

what do we type into the address bar. That's all I'm asking. Am technologically illiterate.
typing tinyurl/2avwykrp doesn't work

>>21376867
just add dot com after tinyurl

>>21376900
thank-you

>>21375610
I haven't read a lot of books, so I will not vote. But in a year I will, and /lit/ will be saved.

Well here I go not picking MY top 5 but the top 5 books I like best that I know at least a few others will vote for (already a large jump into more-boringness!)

>>21376364
Scared that the redditors are going to make fun of you for mot voting enough women and niggers?

Not working for me. rart

>>21378199
It's like a browser version of sticking it into the wrong hole. Paste the url into address bar, not search engine.

Wtf, how can you function in society being this retarded?

vote for Michelle Obama's Becoming

>>21375610
Thanks to that anon who posted a scan in another thread, I'll be nominating Mafarka the Furturist for the first time in /lit/ history

>>21375610
how do we nominate the bible? It wasn't written by one sole author

>>21378624
you don’t

>>21378624
Unfortunately you may have to stick to nominating books you've actually read

hello everyone, it's good to see that the thread is still up.
below is a link to the response spreadsheet, which i wil leave in the OP going forward.
i will soon organise the responses and begin counting.
>tinyurl/4m97c47r
>>21378624
in this instance, you would only write the title of the book.
don't worry too much, many people haven't gotten the formatting quite right.

>>21376495
In what sense have they been rigged?

>>21375610
Will you take meme votes out? Because I remember maybe last year or the year before whoever dumbass compiled the list did not take out the memes.

>>21379376
In the sense that it didn't conform to anon's schizophrenia

>>21379043
>the carson mcrullers guy already tried to vote for her twice
porbably my least favorite guy on this board

>>21379454
This, and remove all female authors too, please.

>>21379454
>>21379582
>Will you take meme votes out?
there is difficulty in this, as there is not one agreeable condition for a nomination being a "meme nomination". for example, Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler has been included in the top 100 in some years and excluded in others.
we could create a strawpoll in an attempt to resolve this, but there will always be disagreement regardless of its outcome.
>>21379550
i'm keeping an eye on him.
i reckon that some repeated nominations will slip through in the end, but i will filter those out wherever i can justify and prove it.

>>21379454
>Nooooo that's not reap literature because... it's just not, ok!?

>>21376278
so anybody just can vote million times?

Why is non-fiction allowed in the first place?

Honestly I believe the rigged-schizo. I utterly refuse to believe that eighty three (83) people have voted

>>21379933
Discord is a funny place

If trannies can vote it's worthless.

>>21379910
Why not? It's a survey on anons' favorite books, not a reading list for you specifically

>>21379933
I have already voted multiple times with dynamic IPs

There are already many stupid troll votes, so I see it as my duty to include and push the more respectable books that are supposed to appear on a Top 100 list.

>>21379885
it's either making the process of submitting multiple nominations easier, or having everyone complain about privacy and accessibility.
but truthfully, no matter how it is done, people will search for these loopholes. it is to be expected, especially on this website.

>>21375610
I fucked up I only put titles and no authors. They were all basic bitch books though. Is this OK Op or should I re-submit?

>>21380120
Fair enough

>>21377203
pffffffffttttttttttt

>>21380068
You're everything wrong with society. Do not procreate.

Make sure you vote for the right book this year, lads.

I voted, I would have liked to have more votes though.
Couldnt include works that seem worthy (the red and the black, the 1001 nights, the count of monte cristo, the dream of the red chamber, 1984, pascal's thoughts, la fontaine's fables, etc...)

/lit/ ... You aren't gonna forget about me this year, right?

>>21380180
Dangit, anon. I just voted for Dream of the Red Chamber, so if you had also voted for it, it's possible we could have gotten it in the top 100

>>21378624
You're only allowed to nominate books you've read front cover to back, anon.

>>21380181
Was my #3.

I voted for the same ones as last year because I worry that voting for something outside the board meta means it won't make the list all and I would have wasted my vote. At least voting for something I know has been on the list in past years means I get to impact the ranking of ones I do like but aren't my real top 5.

In any case, thank you for taking the time to organize and tally the votes OP. I'm sure it's a bother to deal with this on top of organizing holiday plans irl.

>>21379043
Hey OP, remove the responses sheet plz. It will kill all the anticipation of the final 100 when it's eventually made.

>>21380597
I agree with this. When I vote, I will probably try to pad votes for books I really like because a number of my favorites have no chance of being on the list and it will be a wasted vote

Brothers Karamazov
Iliad
East of Eden
Laurus
The Hobbit

War and Peace
Magic Mountain
The Idiot
The Metamorphosis
Book of Disquiet

I FORGOT ABOUT DON QUIXOTE AS I WAS VOTING. Shame.

Gormenghast
Ulysses
The Waves
Dream of the Red Chamber
The Sound and the Fury

I have a feeling that the list will actually be pretty good this year

>>21375610
Not voting because these books have little chance of making the list
>The Colossus Of Maroussi by Henry Miller
>Big Sur And The Oranges Of Hieronymus Bosch by Henry Miller
>The Rainbow by DH Lawrence
>Letters of Van Gogh
>Emerson’s Essays
These would have a chance or definitely be on but theyre not my top 5
>Leaves Of Grass by Whitman
>Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche
>Tropic Of Cancer by Henry Miller
>The Idiot by Dostoyevsky
>Siddartha by Hesse

>>21375610

just here to rep goncharov

>>21380176
How can I in good faith vote for a book I've never read

I would like to be able to vote against books, rather than vote for. My vote feels more meaningful keeping Delillo, Steinbeck, and Master & Margarita off the list, rather than tossing one-vote pearls before swine

I voted for meme books.

I'm waiting to finish a few books before I vote

I picked my 5 favorites from this year. I don’t really enjoy “all-time, set-in-stone” lists. Just look at the most recent Sight & Sound for how those go.

>Evelyn Waugh - Scoop
>Flann O’Brien - The Third Policeman
>Thomas Pynchon - V.
>Paul Auster - City of Glass
>Philip K. Dick - VALIS

>>21382483
Marx's capital consistently make it into the top 100 so you would not be alone

you all have read and voted for finnegans wake right anons?

>>21382477
took your time haha

Can we have an update OP? I’m curious if it’s gone to shit already, which it most definitely has.

>>21383792
look >>21379043

>>21380649
the purpose of the response spreadsheet is to start discussion around books which are underperforming and books which are performing better than expected.
my hope is that this will influence how people will vote in a positive way, and generate a genuine discusion about these books.
>>21383302
i've always felt that finnegans wake received less votes than it ought to.
perhaps this year will be different.

Of course it has, thanks to people like this >>21380068

Yes, yes, this list is terrible already. Good work /lit/.

I'm a retarded ape, what do I do with tinyurl/2avwykrp ?

>>21383986
Its a operating system link. Your Windows will automatically redirect you to the poll

>Click Start, search cmd, and open Command Prompt.
>type takeown /f C:\Windows\System32 (or for that instance, you should type the path defined on your computer after C:\) in the command prompt and hit Enter.
>type cacls C:\Windows\System32
>Look for the folder, System32 and delete all the files there

Windows will then ask you for the adress of the site that you wish to visit, so just enter the tinyurl link

>>21383792
Those lists are virtually the same every single year.

>>21384019
ayoooo

David Goggins - Can`t Hurt Me
Thomas Kinsella (translator) - The Táin
Arkady Babchenko - One Soldier`s War
James D. Hornfischer - The Last Stand of The Tin Can Sailors
Kenneth Grahame - The Wind in The Willows

Only one someone else voted for so far was Wind in The Willows.
Also, am I really supposed to believe that there are 173 people voting in this poll on this board?

I read so many dogshit books this year I can't even think of a 5th

It's you're all time favorites.

Browser and search engine are the exact same function on Chrome you monkeys.

>>21386240
*address bar, not browser

>>21379843
This! So much this!

>>21386240
Firefox has address bar that can be used as search engine, too, yet when you give it url it says "visit" to point out it recognizes it as address. Alternatively, one can also notice an arrow symbol on the side of the bar that means "go there". Searching with google becomes just an alternative that you have to deliberately choose to activate.
I doubt Chrome is any different from this.

>>21386240
It goes to the website if you paste it manually. But if you just focus the address bar and click on the suggested
>Text you copied "yourmom.com"
it of course SEARCHES for the text instead of visiting the site.

But that's beside the point. Because the fact that you accidentely searched for it instead of visiting the site and didn't even realize that you're on the fucking search result page, but instead thought the site IS NOT WORKING....there are so many layers to that stupidity.

>>21386207
are these "/pol/tards" in the room with you right now?

>>21386240
Your computer illiteracy is at such a stage that i do not even believe you to be a boomer. Such technological ineptitude could be found exclusively in the app-brained dopamine vacuum between the ears of a zoomer.

You didn't even read the first post.

the amount of people in this thread that can't figure out how an address bar works is both astounding and hilarious to me.
>>21386025
it was naive of me to hope that this wouldn't happen.
i've marked all of the spam in red, being careful as to not mark the legitimate submissions.
i won't delete it from the spreadsheet, since i'm manually reviewing every response.

Okay, the incel McCullers cuck tried to spam her in the poll. How difficult is it to understand that /lit/ doesn't give a fuck about her? We have always preferred O'Connor, the better writer.

Going to post a McCullers hate thread in your name.

>>21387523

Add dot com to what? I put it at the end of the link and it still doesn't work.

>>21388232
Take a look at any URL ever and notice the pattern. If you can't figure it out between this post and the rest of the thread, you don't deserve to vote

>>21388232
Between the "tinyurl" and the "/2av..."

>>21388341
Notice the pattern? URLs have all sorts of different addresses to them, like dot org, dot net, some are closer to the front, some further behind. Not really helpful desu.
>>21388348
Ah, I think I get it. Put the dot com after tinyurl then "/2av" and the rest of the URL is like filler? I just leave it out? More helpful than the other guy.

Shame retards are messing with it.

Thanks for being generous and doing this for free Anon.

Might have spelled some of this wrong

>>21388571

>>21388513
i've noticed that zoomers that are computer illiterate and need extreme levels of help with everything will often try to mask it with anger and indignation because the idea of admitting weakness and saying please just breaks them. it's really funny

You clearly shouldn't even be allowed to leave your house for being to retarded let alone vote, i sincerely think that you don't deserve to vote.

Don't do that, no one ever did that, stop changing the rules every year. Just let people vote and make it a surprise who will win.

Bros, I have a feeling a certain russian book will make it to the top this year.

>>21388931
I don't doubt that for a second

i have finished organising the submissions from the first day.
73 submissions, 341 texts nominated.
thank you to everyone who has participated.
the full list of nominated texts can be viewed by clicking the "organisation" tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet. again, here is the link to the spreadsheet (for those with basic computing knowledge).

>>21388885
please see here >>21383856 for my reasoning on having the spreadsheet.
if the spreadsheet becomes contentious and creates significant backlash, i will make it private, however i feel that it has served its purpose well and has been beneficial for the thread thus far.

I, Claudius by Robert Graves
Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins
Based on a True Story by Norm Macdonald
A Farewell to arms
HP Lovecraft complete works like another anon here made me realize I could vote for too

>>21388960
i don't see John Ronald Reuel Tolkien in the organisation tab

>>21389044
the first day of responses ends at line 78 on the spreadsheet. the first mention of tolkien is on line 89.
>>21389013
>>tfw 3/4 of the spredsheet is in red
there was hardly any before the spam started today.
i'm trying my best to keep it under control, but i have so little time for it.

>>21389069
>>21389022
I'm the same italianon so I'll reply to both
Fist: thank you for the answer i didn't know that.
Second: I'm not by any mean saying that your doing a bad job I'm just disappointed but i should have know that this would have been the outcome. Again thanks for your time and effort in to this project i appreciate

>>21389126
Vota l' horcynus orca che mettiamo d'arrigo in top 100 e memiamo gli anglosassoni che non possono leggerlo

>>21388369
The pattern is that every website is ___.com (or .org, .net, etc) / ___

When someone tells you it’s “.com,” the .com ALWAYS goes before the slash. Fucking troglodyte

>>21389138
Ho già messo Alighieri dentro, cazzo a saperlo prima. Comunque questa "classifica" ha già abbastanza spammatori

Anon why do you even respond to this illiterate monkeys?

>>21389158
Gusti noiosi da scolaro sono circondato da normalfroci

Remember that every dialogue is it's own work.
Let's get all 30 on the list.

>>21375610
Submitted my votes, thanks for doing this.

Top five were:

Sigrid Undset - Kristin Lavransdatter
Miguel Cervantes - Don Quixote
Mark Twain - Joan of Arc
Dante Alighieri - The Divine Comedy
Alfred Tennyson - Idylls of the King

I would have put The Holy Bible in there, but since it already got plenty of submissions, I wanted to give some of these other books a chance. So far I’m the only one who has voted for any Undset novels, any Mark Twain, or any Tennyson. If I had six votes I’d add Canterbury Tales, luckily one other anon nominated that one in my stead.

>>21389167
Noiso vero ma è anche il miglior libro mai scritto nella storia del genere umano

>>21389164
Fair enough, but I’ve seen enough of this retarded bullshit IRL that I can never tell the difference between bait and actual incurable stupidity anymore, it’s maddenig

submissions will be closed for the next six hours in order to dissuade spam.
thank you for your patience.

>>21389242
just ask for email to vote

>>21389242
Alright i already voted anyway, don't worry I'm sorry you have this shit as well.

Italianon

>>21389242
Not even funny spam either. It’s the same tired shit people have been posting for years.

>>21375610
Bros, I have an idea, what if we make a list of the best Ukraine novels and every time a Russian novel makes it into the top 100 we replace it with an Ukrainian one? It would be neat. Also it would be glorious to see the redditors seething.

>>21375610
I have a bad feeling about this year's list. The quality of /lit/ has gone downhill this year.

>>21389818
I thought Ukraine was reddit

>>21389818
No one is falling for it, get the fuck out of here

>>21389818
>redditors seething over ukraine
...h-huh?

I think this thread has definitively and objectively proved /lit/ is a low IQ board. Imagine not knowing how a url works.

>>21391209
Sad but true

>>21375610
How does this work?

>>21391799
Nevermind, fixed the problem, I'm a retard lol

>>21379624
I think an elegant solution would be to publish a version with meme books like Mein Kampf kept out, and then a meme version with nothing kept out.
People can share and save whichever list they themselves feel is the legitimate one.
Of course the definition of a meme book is hard to nail down.
Mein Kampf is of course the meme book par excellence, others are less clear. Marx's capital and the manifesto often find themselves on the list, I consider these to be meme books but I know many will disagree.
Some might say the bible is a meme choice, I don't think so but I don't doubt some voters have probably voted for it not because they loved reading it but rather in order to shill their worldview.
Realistically, what is and is not a meme book will just have to be up to you OP.

>>21391881
manifesto is a meme, kapital is not a meme
simple as, newfriend

>>21391209
imagine using Google Docs in the year 2022

>>21384019
This actually worked, thank you.

>>21376867
That’s a pathetically stupid question to have to ask, I’m sorry.

>>21391901
Most people who vote for Capital have not read it. It's absolutely a meme book.

>>21392141
same for Bible, Moby-Dick, Dostoevsky, Pynchon, DFW, Joyce.

>>21392157
>Dostoevsky
I'm 100% sure 3 people here have read is work

>>21392157
Don't project you dimwit. I've read all of them and voted for two of them

>feel like participating
>realize my top 5 never will make it to the list anyway since they aren't pleb-tier garbage, rendering my votes utterly pointless
>realize I can vote for 5 good books that still can reach the top 100 due to popularity
>come to the final realization they will be beat by YA filth like 100 Years of Solitude anyway

There's no winning in participating in this. It's nothing but a list of the books most people have read + a few books people vote for to seem litterate when in fact they just couldn't fill the 4th and 5th submission since they only read 3 books.

>>21392331
talk shit post lit, give us your patrician top 5

>>21392374
The Alchemist -Paulo Cohello
Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
The Bell Jar- Sylvia Plath
Angels & Demons- Dan Brown
Gravity's Rainbow- Thomas Pynchon

>>21392374
Selma Lagerlöf - Gösta Berlings Saga
Alfred Döblin - Berlin Alexanderplatz
Moa Martinsson - Armén Vid Horisonten
Thomas Mann - Der Zauberberg
Grigol Robakidze - Das Schlangenhemd

>>21392291
Wow, a real /lit/bot!

>>21392408
Doblin is good. Mann is shit and that book in particular sucks dick. Fuck you for making me Google it btw

>>21392468
Never claimed they were obscure, just that they wouldn't ever make the list.

People vote in these pieces of shit? Who cares?

>>21393214
mann and döblin has made the list before

>>21393225
Me

>>21393225
imagine being the type of person to go into a thread and type this

>>21392408
so your actual problem is that this is an english language website

>>21393214
Magic mountain consistently makes the top 100 despite being the worst of the lot

>>21392408
those german books are basic bitch tier for this board standards, idk what you are boasting about

>>21393766
Being German probably

Lit used to shill books and they would then appear on this list at the end of the year. No books get shilled on here.

>>21393845
Yeah because if you talk about your favourite writer often you get a group of sad lonely retards who follow you around and call you an autistic tranny every time they spot you. It doesn't create a very good atmosphere for discussion.

>>21393863
Ossianfag, is that you?

>>21392433
I've also read Moby dick, DFW and Dostoevsky. I follow quite a few /lit/izens on Goodreads who have done so as well. Dosto particularly is widely read on this board.

A suggestion. We should also make a top of the authors with most mentions.

>>21394285
isn't that what we're already doing now?

>>21395628
Quit smoking crack

>>21375610
Guess who I voted for? ;)

>>21396791
I don't look like that. I have a moustache

>>21395628
No. We're doing a top of books with most mentions.

Michel Houellebecq - The Map and the Territory

>>21389173
Thanks for the recommendations. Always looking for new interesting books.

>>21394285
this but instead ranking of the most overated books from the previous top 100

>>21397790
>The Map and the Territory
haven't read but this has to be a blatant ripoff, right?

>>21393722
hey I like magic mountain

>>21399674
How's your relationship with your father?

>>21397866
it was disabled for a time, but i've had to enable it again, as the amount of spam i received on the 15th and 16th overwhelmed me and took up much of my time.

>>21393863
True. I shill Mervyn Peake every chance I get and there's this one guy in particular who always shows up to say that Gormenghast is shit. I know it's him every time because he uses the same words and phrasings

>>21375610

>>21387458
>people cant figure it out
maybe if you stopped being a huge fucking faggot and actually instructed people instead of putting your head in your ass and shouting autistically then people would learn and go on teaching others. You are literally what is wrong in all fields of knowledge
you think you're smart with your little game but all it does is showing how small your dick is that you take so much pride and joy in seeing people be unable to join the survey you have fucking set up for them to do.

>>21400308
>just spoonfeed me bro I swear this is going to be a formative experience for me and I won't end up the same illiterate and entitled brat at all
Yeah no fuck off zoomer

>>21375610

How should i fill it out for a Borges fan, should i put "Collected Fictions" or the previous top 10 holder "Ficciones"?

>>21400521
OP should probably lump together ficciones and aleph as one entry

Do people voted the Bible for trolling purpose or is it actually compelling?

>>21401492
Probably actually compelling. I personally voted for it as my third option after The Quran and In Search of Lost Time.

>>21401492
mostly christlarper spam, but you should read it

>>21401492
I like it but would not recommend it to read cover to cover if uninterested in religion. Pick specific books

>>21383865
You do more nothing.

>>21401492
It's trolling

>>21401492
Both.

>>21375610
Hope we can all agree on one thing lit/

reminder: ALL votes are VALID

>>21403077
But it's man-made.
>umm umm b-but it's inspired by g-god
Proof?

>>21403077
The bible.

>>21403077
Sacred scripture shouldn't be included in this list

>>21403084
even the spam?
