/lit/ - Literature

there is none, they allowed multiple votes so certain books got spammed. the list you posted does the job, just take the ranking with a pinch of salt or whatever. the books are generally the same in every chart we make anyway

Lit is mostly Americans who almost never read outside of English and a few Russian authors. It was expected, honestly.

>Summa Theologica

Impressive that a book literally no one has read made it on the list.

This. I fucking hate Americans, they live in such a bubble.

I've read 13 of these fresh out of highschool
Of the 13 I've read I felt a lot of them shouldn't be on the list. Gatsby, for example, isn't deserving of its widespread appeal in my opinion - the prose is beautiful, but utterly hollow and meaningless.
Now obviously some stuff was listed for jokes or popular opinion's sake but still I wish there was a more serious, carefully selected group of /lit/ books just for discussion's sake.

At least these lists give some recognition of the Classics, even if it's limited.
