Those who voted for the same book more than once had their extra votes removed. "Harry Potter" was counted as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
I'll take questions for 30 minutes then I'm out, I've been working on this nonstop for the last 6 hours.
What were your thoughts? Personally I think it seems more meme-y than usual this year.

as a greatest books of all time, list? pretty shitty. I mean i'd still go up to bat for most everything on there but the ordering repeatedly makes no fucking sense.

Guenon for sure, i think based on this year it’s Guenon, Whitehead and Nietzsche. They have consistently gotten 10-20 threads a week. Feels like /lit/ has further transitioned away from fiction, though Joyce, Pynchon, Dostoevsky, Faulkner and Tolstoy threads will always pop up.

I like Walter Benjamin just as much as the next serious reader but there's no way his Arcades Project could have made it on there without samefagging. Also glad that Musil is moving up in the world. Some of the meme responses are a tragedy of course but the good must be taken with the bad and I heartily welcome our Dick-lords

That said 2016 is still the best with arguably only 2 memes on it, Bottom's Dream and Moore's Jerusalem which exactly 1 person has actually read, both of which are literally never discussed now. So this current epidemic of blatant Guenon/Whitehead spamming will too pass

There's been a migration from various different parts of the internet. Twitter, reddit, /pol/, /leftypol/, /r9k/. Nobody on /lit/ cares about literature or art anymore.

There is literally no procedure in place to test for intellectual rigor in the humanities. There practically can't be one, it's not science. And the social sciences are not exactly a great example either, in fact even some harder sciences like Geology are very hard to provide evidence for.

I have the perspective that the subsets of the sciences that produce applications can be said to have instrumental value, and therefore some relation to reality. Whether this is objective or subjective, I don't really care.

The areas of human thought that don't have this quality are much harder to be certain of, making me not especially convinced by an academic consensus, especially given their frequently shifting nature, and the tendency for institutional bias. I'll read what they have to say and I'll read what non-academic sources have to say, and judge them by whether they make sense to me, withholding any real judgment because they are by definition tentative.

Most of these are classics that everybody in and outside this board know of. To get a new book in there, you need to shill for it during months before the poll. Or sabotage the poll.

the Bible, especially the NT is not political. Jesus says outright to not pay attention to the political power and just pay your tax to whoever is in charge. The OT has some 'right wing' stuff related to marriage but it's kind of a shitshow interpreting it as a whole

Only one thing was described as being made by Christ's own hands in the Gospels - a whip. Which he then proceeded to put to good use.

How is Harry Potter a "meme" book?

It's a classic kids book and deserves to be on the list more than half the FOTM philosophers (Guenon, Whitehead, Taleb, etc) that have crept on there.

The prose might not be Nabokov-tier but the story and characters are universal. Reminds me of a modern Dickens desu,
