Then, Genius, how should I do a list ? By fucking googling ''best writerz of all times list''
also, what the hell is the point of your reply, this list is not important

I love modernism, but this is a bit much. Faulkner is shit and ranking V Woolf higher than Joyce is a bit strange. Anyway, praise Kafka true genius of the 20th century. Read Shakespeare and smoke trees.

Much too biased towards the 20th century. You could've said best writers of 19th and 20th century and it might be debatable.

Also
>Gertrude Stein on it at all
>let alone above Proust and Dostoevsky
>Chekhov above Proust and Dostoevsky (although Chekhov is pretty good)

Honestly sick of pseuds on /lit/ jacking off over the modernists and postmodernists in general, sometimes it seems almost no one here reads much literature before the 20th century besides big names like Shakespeare, Goethe, Dante, or Homer.

This is the kind of generic list you'd expect from someone who listens to abridged "World's Best Novels" audiobooks. Tell us how you love Beethoven and Mozart and appreciate the top 5 accessible philosophers next.

Not op here, but hav your ever read Stein's work or are you just being a r9k and hating on her for being a woman?
