/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.12201990]

I want to see what /lit/'s taste in everything's like, I want to do polls /lit/'s favourite
>authors

Just to prove my theory that /lit/ has better taste in music than /mu/, in TV and film than /tv/, in anime than /a/ and in vidya than /v/. Who's up for it?

This would be better if we could set ups some kind of actual poll rather than having everyone just write in here. You’d probably have to categorize things into genres though (eg music genre) to make the poll function though.

Even classical? If so you're retarded, listen to Bach's Little Fugue in G Minor and Chopin's Ballade No 1 in G Minor and if you don't recognise their artistic value you should seriously consider suicide.
>>12201993
I was thinking of using the same process we use to do /lit/'s yearly top 100 books
>>12202000
I probably won't get around to it, especially if trips tell me not to

I dont play videogames, watch TV or film, or listen to popular music. If I did I would be ashamed to admit it.

No, I am occasionally tempted but am opposed to them on principle, that they are a form of self obsession. Social media in large part ends up being this kind of selfish self presentation, and our time is mired in it.
