Why is Finnegans Wake on there? I highly doubt that many people actually read it, let alone understood it. Is /lit/ actually just a place for people to jerk off about how great and smart they are for liking long and complicated books?

Is the Bible really that good? Or do people rate it highly because of historical context?

If people do rate it for historical context why isn't the prequel and sequel on there. Plus a bunch of political/economical theory books like the wealth of nations and communist manifesto should also by included, considering the impact of those 2 books.
