Thanks dude, I was looking for a music list too, decided to do books first, much appreciated :D

>> No.1520531

Check the sticky, OP. There's not specific chart for 100 great books, but all the charts there are full of great books. I'm sure you can find 100 through them.

this list is actually a joke. it was made to make fun of the pretentious /mu/ sheeps who just listen to anything pitchfork and their board gave to them, but people eventually took it as serious.

if you want essential lists though, check out this site
http://mu-essentials.blogspot.com/
the lists focusing on a certain genre are mostly good

We're not actually all that erudite, on the whole, but most /lit/fags who have earned their stripes wouldn't generally disagree with the Modern Library board's top 100 novels:

4 ayn rand novels in the top 10 readers list? AND 3 hubbard novels? what the fuck

well, yes. I think he meant the official, sanctioned list, not the crackpot libertarian version. What did thy band together to vote that stuff up? Isn't that, like, against their principles.

>>1520547

Not a bad start, by any means. Op, if confused, start here. Don't have to read it all, no one could like all of those, but you should give most of them a look
