Most Proper Literature is what you petty bourgeois philistines call """"depressing"""". Conflict, whether psychological or external, is an inextricable part of the Human Condition.

I get the feeling that you can not take the top ten seriously anyway, because people meme the books in there without even touching them.

Nice dubs.

It would be nice if we had more than 3 votes to use to move books up. The fact that there is not one Shakespeare book in the top 10 is sad, I'm just glazing through the bottom 50 and don't even see MacBeth (or any of his works, save Hamlet). Paradife Lost (sp?) is at 46. I don't even see a Krasznahorkai novel and he's possibly the greatest living novelist. Infinite Jest at no. 3 is embarrassing; why a poor man's Gravity's Rainbow and possibly the least interesting novel post-WW2 stylistically, thematically, and plot, is ahead of The Recognitions, Ficciones, Gravity's Rainbow, etc. is beyond me.

Where is Henry Miller, probably the only modernist to give Joyce a run for his money?

>voters were allowed to enter five books

This is a ridiculous method of forming a top 100. Only the top 5-10 entries can be relied on, and even then only partly.

To put in other terms, only 14% of voters thought Ulysses should even be in the top 5. An overwhelming majority of voters thought Ulysses shouldn't be top 5.
