/lit/ - Literature

knut looks like james joyce

IS THE LIST ONLY MEANT TO BE OF AUTHORS MENTIONED IN /LIT/ AND NOT A REPRESENTATION OF THE BEST AUTHORS EVER?

BECAUSE MANY, AND I MEAN MANY ARE MISSING.

I'm okay with this list, aside from Murakami

Good luck killing Rand - she has 1000 horcruxes from all the starving children she killed

Why all that hate about Rand?

>>2876003
Rand raped my mother with a big strapon dildo.

>>2876003
because filthy socialists.

Murakami belongs at the most in pleb tier.

Murakami??

Joyce??

Are you retarded?

>>2876003
Because her ideas are terrible and she's a terrible writer.

>>2876003
/lit/ is full of dirty liberals, plus most of her books are pretty boring.

>>2876019
individualism is liberal.

>>2875986
it's a measure of the frequency and zeal with which they are discussed on /lit/.

murakami has a bunch of fans on here.

you fucking faggot you forgot walt whitman

fuck you you cocksucker

I don't think he included any poetry at all. Too deep for him I guess.

>>2876066
too deep for /lit/, you mean. poetry is almost never discussed here.

i was actually thinking of making a small poetry chart with /lit/'s eight (or so) favourite poets, but i just can't think of any that /lit/ as a whole really likes or even cares about. john berryman and wallace stevens have a few fans, i think, but besides that i don't know.

>>2876095
Poetry is dying on its arse everywhere.

Suprisingly I find this list very agreeable indeed. Except that I would eliminate "Titan Tier" altogether (sensing rage from /lit/zens) but that's just my bias against their styles. I agree with your God Tier and perhaps also with your Gaia tier, but some of the demi-gods could easily be promoted up...

srsly. Why the fuck a pleb tier?

Oh I see. I'm supposed to get angry and write paragraphs about who is misplaced, and who is missing, and conclude with pejorative remarks about the person who made list.

Well it won't work!

>too deep for /lit/, you mean. poetry is almost never discussed here.

Yeah that's kind of strange, come to think of it. I mean, people post ABOUT poetry with some frequency, but they never really discuss poetry - poetry discussion on /lit/ is nearly always "post yr favorite poems" or whatever.

>i was actually thinking of making a small poetry chart with /lit/'s eight (or so) favourite poets, but i just can't think of any that /lit/ as a whole really likes or even cares about. john berryman and wallace stevens have a few fans, i think, but besides that i don't know.

Wallace Stevens, definitely. And I see people liking Whitman with a good deal of frequency. Outside of those two, I don't see many poets with a broad base of support.

Change Borges' titles to English. It looks terrible with only one of the authors in translation with his original titles.

OP has literally now knowledge of what constitutes great literature. Sage for tier-list and /mu/ ripped expressions.

God I hate this thread.

>>2876464

I now!

>>2876277
not among poets, of which there are quite a few

>>2878061
No Anon, you are the roaches.

OP is tao lin

sage

Fucking newfags and summerfags everywhere. How have you guys not seen this, like, 1000 times? Plus /lit/ already has a fucking poetry essentials to, and yes, fucking walt whitman is there goddammit.

>gaia tier

I puked in my mouth a little.

>>2878086

Agreed.

>>2878104

I didn't make the list derp derp. Its from the wiki.

Heese and Camus aren't God-Tier.
Replace them with Kafka and Faulkner.

>>2878118
It's a stupid old list from the wiki. It's not as if anyone except the newlads pay attention to it.

>>2878108
>derp derp
>unrelated response
Are you clinically retarded?

>>2876277
It's not dying, it's just taken on a new form in music lyrics (good music, no baby baby yeah yeah yeah).

demigod goes above god tier

>>2876041
>it's a measure of the frequency and zeal with which they are discussed on /lit/.

OP shouldve probably said that when he started the thread to prevent brief but multiple mad's.
