IITT: the best books are the ones I like

I'm going to ignore most of that tier ranking and focus on how good I would feel if I were one of the old-timey guys whose portraits they use for the paperback reprints of Dorian Gray

>> No.1307026

Is that you staggie?

>> No.1307031

The great thing is, I have this saved.

I erased the tier system and just use it as a recommendation list for myself

As a white man I can say the book is still quite enjoyable if you're a criminal or a lazy asshole.

Great Gatsby god tier... Mockingbird, Alice, Lolita, Huck Finn and Heart of Darkness shit tier... LOL? Is this a joke or something?

Though I do agree that Wuthering Heights was awful. Could barely get through it, felt like an absurd soap opera.

>> No.1307371

Heart of Darkness is the only book I couldn't read on that list. It took how many pages for the author to shut the fuck up about boats?

God tier: The great gatsby, the stranger

finally it feels like /lit/ is back, been getting tired of the trolls

>> No.1307385

Why is Lolita the only Nabokov anyone on here ever talks about? I mean putting it on shit tier = obviously trolling, but Pale Fire deserves at least High Tier.

I would put the Sound and the Fury on God Tier, other than that I'm surprisingly OK with this.

Lurk more, I've seen pale fire and ada being discussed on several occasions, the thing is that lolita is just his best known work.

Soon as you see Hamlet anywhere except in a stratospheric super-God tier, it's a troll thread. This goes for most of Shakespeare's tragedies, including Othello.

it really was i mean there werent even any underlying themes or symbolism or anything it was just a childrens book

>> No.1307431

>>1307428
themes and symbolism aren't everything, there are enough good writers who can incorporate those and still keep the reader interested

>> No.1307433

>>1307431
if you have no themes or symbolism in your book you shouldnt even be a writer simple as that

I was of the opinion that /lit/ didn't really care for the Catcher in the Rye. And I don't see how Dune is "lit-core" rather than sci-fi. No Murakami? No Infinite Jest? Not a great list imho.

That's the right one - take it from someone who sent Tripcode Explorer on billions of attempts to crack it. Either it's Stagolee or someone who was more successful than I was.
