I’ve read 93/100, am i /lit/? Also, Steinbeck making the list three times, though I dont agree with it, is a major upset—underrated imo

Bloody americans voting Moby Dick to first place just because it's the only american novel (barely) worth reading.

I only remember the number, but off the top of my head and a quick glance at the chart, the ones of the seven I do remember were W&P, the ken kesey book, correction, spengler, clockwork orange and two others.

I like moby dick, ulysses, don quixote, the leopard, notes from underground and the idiot, celine and if on a winters night. Expected to see more latin american lit, particularly pedro paramo

Agreed 100%. This board would be so much better if all Americans spamming DFW, Pynchon, Moby Dick, Steinbeck and McCarthy left. They are only one step above Bukowski and King compared to the average European writer.

It's no wonder you're all such limp dick faggots though, you're best and brightest and most driven are either here, arms dealing in Africa or fucking kids in Taiwan. The remaining europeans are the descendants of the poorest, softest, most cowlike and unadventurous stock the land had to offer.

Unless I missed anything or was tricked by any pen names I don't know of, there are a grand total of 2 books by women on this list (both by Virginia Woolf).

And I didn't check the race of each author I don't know, but the list seems to be made up of white guys with a couple Japanese men thrown in.

Given that it exclusively focuses on a relatively small segment of the population, I don't find it to be a very impressive or useful list. There are obviously some good books there, but there's so, so much more to literature than this.
