We did it reddit we dabbed on the 4chan nazis

After reading the comments I realize that autists here are by far the most intellectual on the internet.
>inb4 you need to go back
shut up fags I only use reddit for my uni's sub
Now in all seriousness what would you guys think would be reddit's top books list ?

[Anonymous No.18807387]

The /lit/ top books lists are totally disingenuous as post2016 /lit/ doesn't read or talk about literary fiction.
As far as I can work out some autistits produces the list to impress upon r/books the fantasy that /lit/is some kind of subversive, intellectual enclave.

The most pathetic part is when actual anons start believing their own hype.

I've been here for a long time and I've always ignored the 'book lists' threads. Who or what's this '/lit/' reddit has created?

[Anonymous No.18807407]

omg we made it to reddit! we're famous bros!

[Anonymous No.18807424]

>>18807406
An insulting strawman at best. The most amusing part is the comments. Redditards believe they can gatekeep the actual list and criticize the lack of female authors or the lack of the fact that the majority of authors on the list are english

>The most pathetic part is when actual anons start believing their own hype
this is true. /lit/ charts are usually surface-level and not as intellectual or deep as most posters here would like to believe, but that's a given with any social media site these days.

They are right about the anglo part and you know it.
Also my wife Emily Dickinson should have been on the list

...hence my comment

[Anonymous No.18807469]

>>18807449
I guess it would be something like:
6-7 chinese
1-2 korean
more germans
more italians
way more greeks
way more romans
a bunch of writers from smaller countries like Hungary, Australia, Poland, etc.

literally who?

anglo dominance is the only real downside but iirc the author nationality is atleast somewhat comparable to the user nationality on this site so who cares

Yan Lianke is barely even top 5 living chinese. Yu Hua, Mo Yan, and Jia Pingwa are all on an entirely different level
But all of them are way inferior to the 6 classics (especially Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber, and The Scholars). I thought only Romance of Three Kingdoms wasn't that good.
A bunch of Daoist works if you allow philosophy.
The Record of Grand Historian if you allow history.
Li Bai is a great poet too.
A case can be made for Lu Xun but I wouldn't put him there personally.

>literally who?
Nine Cloud Dream + maybe one of contemporaries

>>18807500
There is also a lot of recency bias on all of /lit/'s list. A bunch of burger pomo junk but barely a sprinkle of greeks, no sanskrit works, etc.

[Anonymous No.18807532]

>>18807432
The lists are determined by lowest common denominator, any one anons would be more idiosyncratic.

[Anonymous No.18807547]

>>18807424
Do reddit have their own such list?

[Anonymous No.18807565]

>>18807547
of course not, any attempt at ranking their favourite fantasy YA would lead to a downvotefest about "muh gatekeeping"

[Anonymous No.18807579]

>>18807565
Maybe the smaller more niche reddit boards though.

From google searching I found the following
>Blood Meridian in 10th place
I also found the following, which gives an interesting view into the reddit mindset but isn't strictly a top 100 books list:
https://www.plebbit.com/r/raerth/comments/cpxkq/reddits_favourite_books/
Be sure to replace plebbit with reddit
Other than that I found nothing.

Even worse than the /lit/ list.
Its embarrassing how people will pretend that this list represents the high points oh human literary achievement.
Even arrbooks turns respectful towards this hipster anglo thrash.

Are you the same guy who always posts this lol. You can prefer Ovid but there is no need to criticize the aeneid, it is a masterpiece

[Anonymous No.18807711]

The only reason I prefer the metamorphoses is because back when we were doing latin in highschool (frenchfag) I found the text easy to understand so I'm quite biased regarding the question

What frightens me the most about the list is the fact that
>18 authors have multiple appearances. The most appearances made by any author is a three way tie between Dostoevsky, Joyce, and Pynchon with 4. Faulkner have 3. Fourteen authors have 2.
HOW DARE YOU FAGS NOT INCLUDE NABAKOVS LOLITA IN EVERY SINGLE VERSION OF THE LIST. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU GUYS DON'T READ.

ABSOLUTELY DISRESPECTFUL AND DISGUSTING!

Dostoevsky especially always dominates best of lists because he has literally 5 differnt novels that people think are his best, which is very unusual. Lolitas absence is weird though given how much it's posted here
