The chart is fine as it is. Adding anything more would be spoiling its quirky charm. It's a bit of a weird chart in some respects but the guy who made it has clearly read a lot anyway. Only thing that could improve it is removing the apostrophe from "Finnegan's".

cervantes should be higher, Don quixote might be considered "high-brow", but it's also the best selling book of all time so it balances out.

>> No.19208381

Homer, augustine, Bible, virgil, Dante are way too low. Those are super highly read by all sorts of normals. Just because your fellow 16 year olds haven't heard of them doesn't mean they are special to adults

Is it based on Difficulty or obscurity?
On both accounts, Cervantes should be higher; Nabokov should be in level 3; Shakespeare, up; Dickens, up up; Mccarthy should be below Saramago, Bellow mildly near the boundary of 4; Early Joyce in level 3; Tolstoy, again level 3; Melville should be just on 3 to 4 boundary; Proust should be below Borges; McElroy must be in level 5 (one of the few anons to have read something of Women & men), no way he is above Gaddis, Burroughs and Nabokov; Bulgakov in level 2.
