That creation of that chart, shortly following the thread, was quite possibly the worst day in /lit/'s history. Nothing can redeem this board because of that chart.

I think the fact that most people post in these threads saying the chart is shit shows everyone how we feel. I can safely say, objectively, charts like these ruin everything. I would like to see more threads about books and authors and individual philosophies on /lit/

I like the "how to start with the greeks chart." and I think the wiki does sometimes marginally help cut down on "I don't know how to read and I want to know how to find books" threads. But ranking systems are retarded.

I don't see why a chart like this, if it were done well (i.e. more Shakespeare less shit) would "ruin everything."

Well, at least it's not as cringeworthy as Reddit's top books list.

How could this possibly be an accurate chart? Only 138 people voted, if the first 20 or so got multiple votes then everything after that would be based on a single voter. Someone could have voted for the fault in our stars and it would end up on this list.
