Checked.
I haven't read most of the books in the poll and I don't want to be dishonest and only vote for what I've read, so I'll abstain this year and try to catch up on more books for next year (though the way I read books almost guarantees I won't read many).

These books will be on the list, this poll is to determine where on the list.
If after this there are still some minor ties, they will just be sorted alphabetically.
But this should give /lit/ a say over how they feel the books should go.
There were no ties with the final books and books that were off the list. The vote count dropped by one precisely at 100 so this will be a clean list

Most anons can't get into "elististic" gatekeeping, how would you do that on a non-locked anon imageboard? Once you start adding social signifiers like upvotes and reacts etc, it's all over, you've encouraged too many women to roll out their pathological bugbrain that gets off on social transfiguration. Better just to let the rude anons run wild and spout hate speech. The best way to keep an open forum is to allow both the most degenerate and the most pious.

It's a good book, you haven't read it and just speak out of your ass. But I do agree with you that there are better books on the right and more worth while reading, most of what Evola or Celine have written for example is better, but it's also less known, by virtue the top 100 books are also the most read books. Most people here are pseuds who have read like 50 books tops and they keep reading what other people from here suggest, so you get pretty much the same or very similar list year in year out. Hence why MK or any other meme book makes it in every time... because the taste propagates, even the people who went to reddit because it was too /pol/luted over here, have the same taste minus the nazi picks, but overall same meme books.
