Is this truly the peak of humanity? This looks like every list ever. Some may argue about the order, or maybe that some are missing, but these are generally agreed to be among the best of the best. Is that all there is to literature? Once you read these, then almost everything else you ever read will be subpar?

Depends on your own taste. I personally like H.G. Wells' work, in fact one of his least popular "Ann Veronica" is one of my favorites. Or reference >>20117008 I actually found that when I came across a classic work I really like, that author's other works is usually just as good.

if you think this is all there is to literature you don't read enough. yes there's plenty of essentials there but there's mostly meme books that could be swapped out easily. clearly 2014 /lit/ didn't read for shit.
