/lit/ - Literature

>>9451354
thanks anon

>>9451354
another one? I doubt our taste has changed that much since the last.

>>9451369
you'd be surprised

>>9451354
I decided to start join /lit/ around the time the last poll wrapped up. I guess I didn't get much of a chance to read too much of the entries on that one. Right now I'm having a hard time as to what I'll be voting for entry number three.

voted; hopefully we get more women and minority authors on this list

How do you guys pronounce DFW?
I asked my friend if he knew who "deefuhwuh" was and he just got mad and threw The Pale King at me.

also I voted

>>9451426

>>9451426

>>9451413
no bait here please

So, what about complete works? Let's say that I vote por Shakespeare's Complete Works, but someone else only votes for Othello. What happens then?

>>9451442
its not bait it's new sincerity

>select all the images with BOOKS

Only 3 books? This is going to be hard as hell.

voted.

>>9451447
Discuss, enjoy female or minorities writers just like you would the male counterpart. Just don't make a special parade for your 'oppressed writers'. Shoving an agenda down people's throat is as bad as the ones who won't read female writers.

>>9451430
thanks anon

maybe I can make it up to my friend

>can nominate multiple times

WEW

>>9451464
This should be changed. I just voted 5 times

>>9451448
I just shilled American lit since I knew the Russians, muh Bible and the meme trilogy were all guaranteed spots in the top ten, and I'm a red-blooded patriot.

> Submit another response

Don't mind if I do...

The Trial, 1984, The Wasp Factory. Recommend me books based on my taste.

I did my duty as an american and as a democrat and voted.

>>9451485
the bible and the greeks because it's obvious you haven't read much and you need to start with the foundations

Delet this thread and start over, OP

>>9451446
>>9451540
Shakespeare entries will likely be collated into a single entry.

>>9451540
with only 3 choices i'm shilling my favorite authors and you can't do anything about it

>>9451542
seriously...

>>9451488
>the bible
I'd honestly rather be peed on.

submitting multiple posts doesnt do anything except override your previous post

We can only hope.

Hey polling faggot can we maybe get an update!?!?

>>9451962
dont count on it, the discord fags are the worst

Wtf. Are you some kind of afghani fag with a messed up time zone? And why are they all posted at xx:43? Usually when you're discording, messages come at 30-1 minute intervals.

>>9451544
I'm kinda against this t.b.h.

>>9451553
You don't belong in lit.

>>9451962
>>9452006
right now there are 200 responses, big winners are ulysses, moby dick, doestoevsky, and gaddis.

>>9451544
Only Shakespeare entries? For example, if I write "Beckett's Complete Drama" and someone else writes "Waiting for Godot", what happens then? Will they also be collated?

>>9452227
You're dealing with discordfags here. Don't expect intelligence or consistency.

>>9452180
proofs?

>>9451354
Have you thought about making one of these for short stories? More than 90% of the entries on this poll always end up being novels/novellas

Also thanks anon, you are doing god's work here

>>9452287
ceit's pretty intelligent

>>9452329
hi ceit

>>9452329
>>9452335
You're wrong.

>>9452329

> shakespeare will be one (1) entry

fucking discordfags

>>9452394
what's the fucking point of the discord anyway? Joined a while a go and it was just a tripfag(?) called spaft talking some pseudo-intellectual garbage.

>>9452419
he's a pretty smart poster once you give him a chance actually, shame the other guys in the discord don't quite get what he's playing. Anyway, next time you or any other guys come in the discord, give him a hello and he'd be happy to help i'm sure

>>9452447
hi spaft

>>9452455
>>9452447
>>9452419
Fools! Quit mocking me. It's very clear that the mods at that server are just fucking cucks who cannot handle true intellectualism entering into their circlejerk!

>>9452467
dont know who spaft is but thats true of the discord in general, not only the mods

basically you have a to be a boring loser or else they call you a shitposter, every now and then one of them will parrot some cheap opinion of harold bloom's

OP influencing the vote with his Joyce image, pure bullshit.

>>9452367
Probably. Weird thing is if you go back far enough in warosu, it was probably Luna who started the whole my diary t b h thing.

Stop this fucking masturbatory trash. After the list's top 15 you get between 8 and 3 responses per work. The chart means nothing. And then you fucking run to imgur, and we get more threads complaining about racism and raving about ready player one. These charts are the worst thing to happen to the board.

The discord is just an insular off-topic /soc/ circlejerk except they get angry when someone outside the circle doesn't discuss books or their brand of shitposting

>>9452531
>The discord is just like every discord ever

>>9452531
People who discuss books they've read, even if out of the usual tastes, or even if they interpret things unconventionally, are perfectly welcome. Most people there are even welcoming to caela, despite him/her/it being rather self obsessed, and rarely a talker of worthwhile books.

If you were btfo, it was most likely from being an insufferable twat.

>>9452548
So this is what discordfags sound like. I think I just had an authentic nerd moment.

>>9452548
Well, thanks for proving my point buddy!

>>9452548
>caela

literally fucking who? I don't care about your online personas, but unfortunately that's all the discord is about. Fuck. You.

>>9452568
Wait up, so you come into the discord and don't even know who a few of the common(okay -ish, in the case of caela) posters are? Why don't you trying judging our cord once you've been a regular for at least a week?

Discord seemed fine, I don't know what the big deal is. I have no use for a lit chatroom, but it seemed what was to be expected from a 4chan discord. I briefly joined for the blood meridian group they ran.

As for the survey, I'm interested to see if it is the same as last years.

>>9451354
I'm shilling hard for Hamsun this year, hopefully we get another book of his on the list besides Hunger, which is really not among his best.

>>9452586
>proving his point
and your post style is so distinctive. It will be good to know when I can stop replying to someone because they're a discord shitter.

Great seeing you again, this is the third time I will participate in this, my taste hasn't changed much.

>>9452699
I was also more partial to the whim's of the one they called 'soprano'

perhaps I shall return to discord someday! see the maiden once more!

Fuck, this is funny. I happened to join this Discord last week pretending to be a girl and some beta cuck named Maul started DMing me and wouldn't stop. Seriously, this Discord reeks of thirst. Melynx's group is smaller but at least each user is quality, and most of them have GFs.

>>9452737
Most of the older members in this one have wives and gfs too. There's always going to be a few obnoxiously thirsty guys in anything coming from 4chan.

>>9452746
Older members? Yeah, no. Like I wanna hang around a bunch of codgers.

>>9452737
Melynx is a know nothing nobody such as yourself.

>>9452746
I don't give a shit really. Can we talk about books instead?

What are you lads voting this year?

post melynx group invite

>>9452758
Post a writing sample and your discord username and I'll think about it.

>>9452764
Is it a writers group? I'm just looking for literature discussion.

>>9452769
It's the most prestigious discord for anybody with literary aspirations under 25 years old.

>>9452774
aka it's a clusterfuck for losers with delusions of being successful writers, yet they spend a good chunk of their time on /lit/.

sounds shitty, i'll pass

>>9452774
Literary aspirations meaning writers, not academics also?

>>9452774
Ew

>>9452780
Ever heard of Marc Chavez? Bridget Kaufman? Tao Lin? Leyawn? Yeah.

>>9452790
>Ever heard of Marc Chavez?
No
>Bridget Kaufman?
No
>Tao Lin?
Yeah he used to viral market his shit here back in like 2013 or so, making a complete fool of himself in the process.
>Leyawn?
No

Can i just vote for a The Complete Lovecraft Fiction instead of choosing just one of his short stories?

>>9452790
tao lin is shit

he would have gotten published regardless of associating with nobody 4channers. his papa's rich as fuck. that's what matters. not some schlong-surping retard gatekeeper named melynx, or whatever.

>>9451354
its way too soon to be doing this.

what you should do is take like 2 or 3 polls throughout the year(around spring, summer, fall and winter) and compile all the votes into a single megavote.
then we'll have a definitive list at the end of the year with as little meme votes as possible.

>>9452531
>they get angry when someone outside the circle doesn't discuss books

its the opposite, they get angry when you discuss books

>>9452548
>it was most likely from being an insufferable twat.

kick sheep and the discord will improve

>>9452737
its pathetic, maul is teribble

>>9452758

hook up an invite, is it just creative writing?

>>9452833
Hello Prom

>>9452823
Both actually. Lol.

>>9452774
>>9452790
Lol. I wouldn't publish any of you. I've seen the writing of some people in that discord: and joining doesn't suddenly make you not awful writers who spend 80% of their time shitposting on 4chan while you believe that you're heading towards greatness

wtf happened in this thread

anyways, thanks polling anon. Keep us posted on the new chart

Sooo anon, you gonna reply to me?

Fuck this thread! This is shit! Nobody needs a poll, it misrepresents /lit/ and gives Reddit easy pickins on what book to next appropriate! Or have you louts forgotten about Infinite Jest already!

Just wanted to say this: Fuck you.

Fuck /lit/. This is the last time I try and render a public service unto the board. I've gotten more meme responses than actual ones, and you morons have derailed this thread with shitty Discord drama too. I'm just... I'm done.

Find somebody else to organize a board effort.

This is polling anon, signing off for the last time... Ciao

No anon. We destroyed the chart

Samefagging, but Oh my God. You guys are complete fucking idiots. Where are all those Spookposters now huh? You're all trembling over judgement from Reddit. Fucking Reddit. Since when does any 4chan user care about what reddit has to say!? I'm embarrassed for you guys, really.

>>9453209
Prom, we miss you. Come back.

Don't vote in plays and epic poems. That's stupid.

>>9453211
to be honest family, it's mostly /lit/ that's like reddit. And maybe /mu/, I guess. And /pol/, though in different ways. But even so, point is, shit board = shit posts. /int/, /sp/, /r9k/, /qa/, none of these feel like reddit to me.
It's certainly not muh sekrit club anymore, but there are other places for that.

>>9453241
Probably true. Really fun while it lasted though. Oh well.
